And even after he's dead,you got to be careful. 就算它已經(jīng)死了 你還是應(yīng)該多加小心
The head can still inject you,and that's what you do not want going into your bloodstream. 它鋒利的毒牙依舊能注射毒素 你肯定不希望看到 毒素被注入自己體內(nèi)吧
It doesn't matter how many times you deal with snakes, 不管你有多少次對付毒蛇的經(jīng)驗
you wouldn't be human if your heart wasn't racing 當(dāng)你在對付像這樣的致命對手時

A good technique is just to look at the shadow--look at the angle your shadow's causing on your body and then just maintain that and follow it. 但有一個好辦法 就是看著你的影子 時刻注意觀察身子和影子所成的夾角 一路上一直要保持同樣的夾角大小
But bear in mind,that's only really good over short distances 'cause, obviously, your shadow's gonna move about 15 degrees every hour. 但是需要牢記的是 這種方法只在短距離行走中才可行 原因很簡單 因為你的影子會隨著時間 每小時移動十五度的樣子
