Unit 5 The Village
村落

The sun beat down on Shawn’s back. He didn’t know which he found more uncomfortable--the sun’s insisting heat, or constantly having to slap away mosquitoes and black flies. He would be glad when they finally arrived in the village.
酷熱的太陽曬在蕭恩的背上。太陽持續(xù)地曬著，再加上蚊子和黑蒼蠅不時讓他拍來拍去，他已經分不清哪個更讓人難受了。不過讓他高興的是，他們終于抵達村落了。

After three days of hiking, paddling across rivers, and climbing steep mountains he was getting a bit tired.
三天以來，徒步旅行、劃船渡河，再加上爬的山又陡峭，他已經有點累了。

Shawn is a photographer for a travel magazine. He has come to take pictures of a traditional, remote tribe in the hills of Papua New Guinea. It was just about sunset when he arrived. The leader of the village greeted him with palm wine. He drank reluctantly. That night the villages had a feast to celebrate the arrival of their guest. A pig was killed and served.
蕭恩是一家旅游雜志的攝影師，為了拍照，他來到巴布亞新幾內亞山丘中的一個傳統(tǒng)偏僻的部落。他在日落時分抵達這里后，村長用棕櫚酒招待他，他勉強把它喝下；那晚村民則準備了盛宴來慶?？腿藖碓L，還特意殺了一頭豬。

After dinner, Shawn wore the traditional headdress while four women in strange masks and painted faces danced around the fire singing songs of gratitude. Shawn was delighted by that night’s events. Never had he seen anything so wonderful. That night he fell asleep without taking one picture.
晚飯后，蕭恩頭上戴著傳統(tǒng)頭巾，四個臉上涂色又戴著奇怪面具的女人在篝火四周邊跳著舞邊唱著感謝之歌。那晚的慶?；顒幼屖挾饔X得很高興，他從沒看過如此美妙的景象。結果那晚他什么照片都沒拍就睡著了。
