39 Nothing to worry about

The rough road across the plain soon became so bad that we tried to get Bruce to drive back to the village we had come from.

穿越平原的道路高低不平,开车走了不远,路面愈加崎岖。我们想劝说布鲁斯把车开回到我们出发的那个村庄去。

Even though the road was littered with boulders and pitted with holes, Bruce was not in the least perturbed.

尽管路面布满石头,坑坑洼洼,但布鲁斯却一点儿不慌乱。

Glancing at his map, he informed us that the next village was a mere twenty miles away.

他瞥了一眼地图,告诉我们前面再走不到20英里就是一个村庄。

It was not that Bruce always underestimated difficulties. He simply had no sense of danger at all.

这并不是说布鲁斯总是低估困难,而是他压根儿没有一点儿危险感。

No matter what the conditions were, he believed that a car should be driven as fast as it could possibly go.

他认为不管路面情况如何,车必须以最高速度前进。

As we bumped over the dusty track, we swerved to avoid large boulders.

我们在尘土飞扬的道路上颠簸,车子东拐西弯,以躲开那些大圆石。
