　　：荒野中的賽跑

　　The zebra grazing, looked up only slightly when two of the world's tallest animals galloped past. The lanky animals' long, but awkward legs traveled across the desert in half the time it took most other desert animals.

　　當兩隻世界上長得最高的動物疾馳而過時，吃著草的斑馬只是稍微抬頭一下。這種瘦長動物的腿很長也很笨拙，但穿越沙漠的時間卻比大部分其他沙漠動物還要快上一倍。

　　The extra weight of a single passenger and his bags did not seem to slow down the animals' speed.

　　背上多坐一個人再加上他的行李重量，似乎不會減慢這種動物的跑步速度。

　　March was the annual giraffe race. People from surrounding villages came to watch. This year, Ahul was racing for his first time. He was only 11. Before he died, Ahul's father had been a famous racer. It was up to Ahul to carry on in his father's footsteps.

　　三月是一年一度的長頸鹿賽跑大賽，附近的村民都會前來觀賞。今天是阿哈第一次參賽，他只有十一歲。阿哈的爸爸生前是有名的長頸鹿賽鹿手，至於阿哈要不要跟隨父親的腳步，就由他自己決定。

　　Ahul held on tightly to the giraffe as it raced across sand dunes and past trees. They were in the lead. The finish line was close.

　　長頸鹿跑過沙丘、穿越樹林時，阿哈緊緊抓著長頸鹿。他們目前居於領先地位，終點線就在前面不遠了。

　　“Come on, Ginger,” Ahul called out. “You can do it.” What a rush to be sitting on top of a giraffe as it raced across the desert, the sun warm on his back, the cool wind blowing in his face.

　　“加油，金傑。”阿哈大喊著：“你一定行的。”長頸鹿在沙漠上奔跑時，坐在它上面那種感覺可真是快啊!溫暖的陽光照在背上，臉上還有涼風吹過。

　　Ahul cried out, “You did it” as they crossed the finish line.

　　他們越過終點線時，阿哈大喊著：“你辦到了。”

　　：賊

　　Cumin, turmeric, coriander. These were the things that came to mind when Rae thought of India. Of course, she thought of yoga too. Rae landed in Bombay early on a Wednesday morning. She got her luggage and made her way to the hotel.

　　瑞伊一想到印度，腦海裡就會浮現小茴香、薑黃、胡荽這些東西，當然，她也會想到瑜珈。瑞伊是星期三一早抵達孟買的，她拿到行李後便往旅館方向前進。

　　Rae had been planning her trip for months. She was going to study yoga with one of the world's best yoga gurus. Her first meeting was scheduled for early the next morning.

　　瑞伊這趟旅行已經計劃幾個月了，她要來這裡跟一位全世界最優秀的瑜珈大師學習瑜珈，預定明天一早第一次去拜見老師。

　　On the way to the hotel, Rae was mesmerized by the wonderful colors and smells. She was so caught up in the sights and sounds, she barely had time to scream, “Thief” as a man grabbed her purse and ran away. Rae took off after the man.

　　前往旅館時，瑞伊被一路上大自然的美麗色彩和香味給迷住了，眼前的景象與聲音讓她沉迷不已。這時突然有個人抓起她的手提包拔腿就跑，她幾乎沒有時間喊捉賊，就立刻在後面追著賊跑。

　　She chased him down small allies and over a bridge. She chased him through a market where women were selling beautiful scarves. The man was fast, but Rae was faster. She caught up to the man and tackled him to the ground.

　　她不停地追著，追過一座橋，又經過一個許多婦女在販賣圍巾的市場。那個賊雖然跑得很快，但瑞伊跑得更快，最後總算抓到那個賊並把他扭倒在地。

　　She grabbed her purse and kicked him in the stomach. She marched off with her bag and hailed a taxi to her hotel.

　　她搶回她的手提包，又在賊肚子上踢了一腳，然後帶著手提包離開，招了一輛計程車直接坐到旅館。

　　：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.

　　酷熱的太陽晒在蕭恩的背上。太陽持續地晒著，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，他們終於抵達村落了。

　　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、划船渡河，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.

　　蕭恩是一家旅遊雜誌的攝影師，為了拍照，他來到巴布亞紐幾內亞山丘中的一個傳統偏僻的部落。他在日落時分抵達這裡後，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祝客人來訪，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.

　　晚飯後，蕭恩頭上戴著傳統頭巾，四個臉上塗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。那晚的慶祝活動讓蕭恩覺得很高興，他從沒看過如此美妙的景象。結果那晚他什麼照片都沒拍就睡著了。
