When I was a child, I once went camping with my family in the summer. 当我还是小孩子的时候,一年夏天我们全家去野营。
We decided to make a barbecue in the valley. 我们决定在山谷中烧烤,
So we collected some tree sticks to make a fire. 所以我们捡来了一些树枝生火。
My father asked me if I could try to make a fire. 父亲问我愿不愿意尝试着生火,
I was glad to take the job. 我很高兴地承担了这项任务。
Then I tried to set fire to the wood with a match, but produced only smoke. 我试着用火柴把木头点燃,但结果都是烟。
Then my father said, "That's not the right way. I'll show you how to do it. 父亲说:“这样做不对。我来教你如何生火。
First use the small pieces of wood because they catch fire easily. 先用小片的木头,因为它们容易点燃,
Then put the larger ones on top of them."My father helped me make a big fire. 然后把大些的放在它们上面。”父亲帮我点起了旺旺的火。
