（单词翻译）

I’m in the Kimberley in north Australia. It’s a wet season. A thunderstorm is raging. And more rain is probably on its way. I’m making my roof at an angle to help the rain run off. I’ve put up a basic frame made from thin branches and I’m tying it all together with vines. OK, now I just need as much green foliage¹ as I can just to cover this. And that’s gonna be my waterproofing². I’m using eucalyptus³ leaves. They are plentiful⁴ in the outback and they make excellent thatch⁵. And what I can also do is use some of these smaller, softer stuff as a bit of a springy mattress⁶. Look at that. that’s gonna be much more comfortable than that. All I now need is a fire to get these clothes dry.

And the kapok⁷ tree shells have kept my tinder dry. I’ve got tinder, some kindling⁸ and some wood. And then what I’m gonna use to light a fire is this striker and this flint. And flint is an ancient way of lighting⁹ fires. And all this is a modern way of doing it. and I strike the flint there, steel along the flint like that, and it creates a spark. And the great way about this is that will even go when it’s soaking wet. Put a flint right down low and as I strike it, I’m blasting all that spark straight into it. and look, first time.

And it’s not surprising. The spark given off by the flint is over five and a half thousand degrees Fahrenheit¹⁰. And incredibly, it’s brighter than the sun. All I need to do now is gently coax¹¹ it.

I think the feeling is when it suddenly rains is it brings out fresh hope, you know. And certainly that time which is so dry and so hot, you think how is it possible just to sustain life here. And the answer is when it rains.
