一个人露营

字幕原文

Last summer, for the first time, I went camping completely alone, 去年夏天，我第一次完全一个人去露营，

and it scared me more than I expected. 结果比我想象的要害怕得多。

That first night, every sound outside the tent seemed enormous. 第一天晚上，帐篷外面的任何动静听起来都格外大。

A twig snapping, the wind, some animal moving in the dark. 树枝折断的脆响、风声，还有黑暗中动物走动的声响。

I lay there wide awake, 我干躺在那儿，清醒得很，

wondering what on earth I was doing out there by myself. 心想自己到底抽什么风，非要一个人跑这儿来。

But by the second night, something had settled. 但到了第二天晚上，整个人慢慢安定了下来。

The quiet stopped feeling threatening and started feeling like a gift. 那种安静不再让人觉得害怕，反而像是一种馈赠。

With no one to talk to and no phone signal, 身边没人能说话，手机也没信号，

my mind slowly got quiet too. 我的脑子也跟着慢慢平静了下来。

I watched a fire burn down to embers 我看着营火一点点燃成炭烬，

and just sat with my own thoughts, 就这么静静地待在自己的思绪里，

which is something I almost never do. 这在平时我几乎从没做过。

I went out there thinking I wanted an adventure. 我跑出来本以为自己想要的是一场冒险，

What I actually found was the first 可实际上我收获的，是好多年来的第一次

real silence I'd had in years. 真正意义上的宁静。
