I want to find somewhere to shelter for the night. 我要找个可以过夜的地方

You know, this wouldn't be a bad place, actually, for a shelter up here. 说实话  在这里凑合过一夜还不赖

I don't want to be down on the beach with all the sand flies and the crabs, 我可不想到海滩上去 与沙蝇螃蟹共度一晚

also the tide comes right up there. 而且涨潮时还会淹到那里

But here you got full visibility out to sea and also that nice sea breeze. 而在这里  可观察大海  视野很广阔 还有舒适的海风拂面

Using the old fishing net I found, I can make a hammock, 我可以用之前发现的一个旧渔网做个吊床

a great way to get off the ground and away from all the bugs. 从而离开地面  摆脱臭虫

Use a couple of sticks as spreaders at each end, 在两头用一些树枝作为支撑

then tie it to a sturdy tree trunk with string. 然后用绳子把它绑在结实的树干上

This stuff's old, but it should do the trick. 这东西老旧了点  但是应该能行

And then give this a try. up!More string? 现在来试试  上来 还需要更多的绳子么

But it happened now in the 3 a.m. in the morning. 要是在凌晨三点  出这种事可不妙

Okay, try a bit of thicker string.Let's hope it'll be less salt-eroded.Hopefully.Perfect. 好吧  试试用一些更粗的绳子 希望绳子没被海水腐蚀地太厉害 上帝保佑 太棒了成功了

Now I need cover from the rain. 下面我需要弄个挡雨的顶棚

A simple A-frame is just the job. 搭个简易的A形顶棚就好

And then on to this, and drape a load of banana leaves as a thatching. 然后在这上面 放上一些蕉叶作为屋顶

All you got to do is nick them,and then we'll just drape it over the top. 你要做的就是在这里切一道口 接着我们只需把它挂到顶部就行了
