He shrugged and handed me the shovel. I began digging. Okay, I thought, tip to the ground, push it in, pull it up, throw the dirt. I did it again. It wasn't nearly as hard as I had thought. I kept going. But after about twenty minutes, it got hot. The African sky fixed me with an unblinking blue stare and the sun pelted me with rays. I paused to take off my shirt. Ilunga, thinking I was quitting, jumped from a nearby dike and reached for the shovel.

他冷漠地耸耸肩，并递给我一把铁锹。我开始挖掘。好吧好吧，我想，把锹尖轻轻碰地，用力铲入，抬起，抛掉里面的泥土。这并不像我想得那么困难。我继续进行着工作。但在20分钟以后，天气开始变热了。非洲的蓝天以一种宁静的蓝色将我紧紧包围，而毒辣的太阳则以强烈的光线烧灼着我。我暂停了一下，并脱下了我的衬衫。我边喘息着边想着我为何要如此没有志气地暂停。于是，我从旁边的一个壕沟里跳出来，并再一次拿起铲子，热火朝天地干了起来。
