I've fixed up a pair of ancient skis with some cloth I found in an old cabin, 我用小屋中發(fā)現(xiàn)的舊窗簾 修復(fù)了古老的滑雪板
and I am gonna try and squeeze a bit more life out of them. 我要用它們尋求生機(jī)
I've got some improvised ski poles just from a straight bit of willow and a couple of twigs pressed in the end. 我用一根直柳枝 末端綁上兩根小細(xì)枝 做成臨時(shí)滑雪桿
And, you know, this is all pretty makeshift,and I am not expecting ski Olympics, 這是很不牢固的 而且我也不是要參加奧運(yùn)滑雪
but its gonna help me make better progress through this deep snow than if I was on foot. 但是在厚重的雪中 用它走比徒步要好
These old cross-country skis are good on the flat,but not ideal for downhill. 這個(gè)破舊的越野滑雪板在平地上還好 但下坡就不行了
Steering them through this deep snow is almost impossible. 在厚雪中它們簡(jiǎn)直無(wú)法操縱
Impossible.And in many ways, I can do more damage than good. 還是不行 我可不能讓自己受傷
Doing this can be quite dangerous,skiing amongst trees when you've got no control on skis like this. 你掌控不了像這樣的雪橇?xí)r 在樹(shù)間滑雪就很危險(xiǎn)
And on these steep slopes, things are going from bad to worse. 特別還是在這么陡峭的坡上 就更危險(xiǎn)
It must be 50, 60 foot down that.There's no way I am skiing off that. 這里肯定有五六十英尺高 我不可能從這里滑下去
Hang on, that's a birch tree over there. I've got an idea. 等等 那里有棵樺樹(shù) 我有辦法了
