英語聽力：荒野求生 澳洲金伯利 7

The bad weather is about to hit me. I’ve got minutes until the deluge begin. Even though I’m not staying out here tonight, I’ll show you how the Aborigines would build a shelter against this sort of rain. Ok. What I can do here is build a bit of a bed straight across from here, one brace here, one onto this edge. And the worst thing you can do when it’s a torrential thunderstorm is just be on the ground because all of this can just turn to water. So the first thing is I need a platform.

The native Australians use whatever is at hand to do this. Sticks for the framework, ivy for the cordage, and bunches of leaves make perfect roofing and bedding. God, hear that? And this is getting closer as well, this lightning. And that’s where the 100 percent humidity has gone straight up into the air and now it’s pouring down. And this is a wet season, Kimberley, northern Australia.

That’s why I was building a bed. This five minutes ago was completely dry. And look, now a foot of water. And you know, the amazing thing is tomorrow it will be all bone dry again by lunchtime. Look at that. you see that? Just pouring off this sandy outcrop.

It might well just stop raining in five minutes’ time. So I wanna fill this up. This is just like manna from heaven. So nice. Come on, rain! I’m hydrated. Again, I’ve even had a bit of a wash. But beingdrenched in the night is no fun. So make sure you build your shelter before the sun goes down. But a much bigger danger out here is lightning. And in Australia, lightning strikes are responsible for ten deaths a year. And this storm is getting closer.
