BBC环球慢速英语 第112期:撒哈拉沙漠马拉松(6)

voice 3: "When we set off on the first (part) of the race, the first shock was the heat. By nine a.m., it was over thirty-two degrees. It reached fifty-two degrees when we were running across the sand (hills). (In the beginning) I did not drink enough water. I finished the (first) day with a headache. I could not imagine six more days of this."
声音3：“我们开始赛跑的第一阶段时，首先令我们震惊的就是酷热。上午9点时，沙漠的温度已经超过32度了。当我们在沙丘上奔跑时，温度已经达到了52度。一开始，我没有喝足够的水。我完成第一天的比赛时头很痛。我无法想象还要再经过6天的赛程。”

voice 4: "The land is bad. Really bad. Hard, rocky, sandy, and never-ending. The size of the Sahara desert will scare you if you are smart."
声音4：“土地的情况非常糟糕。真的非常糟糕。土地又硬、岩石又多、又铺满沙子，而且没有尽头。即使你很聪明，你也会被撒哈拉沙漠的范围吓到的。”

voice 5: "The wind was (blowing). I could barely see anything. And I was surrounded by ninety metre high sand (hills)... That is when I had (a little) mental breakdown."
声音5：“风一直在吹。我几乎什么也看不见。我周围是90米高的沙丘。那时我的精神有些崩溃了。”

voice 6: "I did the Marathon Des Sables because I thought it would be a (hard) race. I was wrong. It was nearly impossible. Everything (about the marathon) is the (hardest), longest, coldest, hottest."
声音6：“我参加撒哈拉沙漠马拉松是因为我本以为那只是一场艰难的比赛。我错了。那几乎是不可能完成的比赛。这是一场最艰难、最长、最冷又是最热的马拉松。”
