zuò zhě作者hé和tóng bàn同伴cóng从tǎn sāng ní yà坦桑尼亚de的ā lǔ shā阿鲁沙zuò chē坐车qù去zàn bǐ yà赞比亚de的lú sà kǎ卢萨卡,běn lái本来jì huà计划40xiǎo shí小时,zuì hòu最后zǒu走le了60duō gè多个xiǎo shí小时。

The author and her companion traveled by car from Arusha, Tanzania, to Lusaka, Zambia. The trip was supposed to take 40 hours, but in the end it took more than 60.

lù shàng路上hěn很xīn kǔ辛苦,chē shàng车上rén人hěn很duō多,hái yǒu还有rén人zhǐ néng只能zuò坐tǒng桶。

The journey was very hard. The car was crowded, and some people could only sit on buckets.

kě shì可是,yī wèi一位mǎ sài马赛rén人rè qíng热情dì地qǐng请zuò zhě作者yì qǐ一起chī吃yáng ròu羊肉,ràng让tā她jué de觉得hěn很wēn nuǎn温暖。

But a Maasai man warmly invited the author to share a meal of lamb, which made her feel very touched.

dào到le了biān jìng边境,wèn tí问题gèng更duō多:xìn xī信息bù不qīng chǔ清楚、shí jiān时间yì zhí一直biàn变、guò guān过关hěn很màn慢,hái还yào要zǒu走ní泥lù路lā拉xíng lǐ行李。

At the border, there were even more problems: the information was unclear, the time kept changing, the crossing was very slow, and they still had to walk on muddy roads while pulling their luggage.

dào到le了zàn bǐ yà赞比亚hòu后,chē车yòu又jiù旧yòu又jǐ挤,chī fàn吃饭shí时tā men他们hái还yīn wèi因为shì是wài guó rén外国人bèi被shōu收le了shuāng bèi双倍de的qián钱。

After arriving in Zambia, the car was old and crowded, and when they ate, they were charged double because they were foreigners.

zuì hòu最后bàn yè半夜zuò坐chū zū chē出租车shí时,sī jī司机hái还lín shí临时jiā qián加钱,bù不dā yìng答应jiù就bǎ把tā men他们diū丢zài在lù biān路边。

Finally, when they took a taxi late at night, the driver suddenly asked for more money, and when they refused, he left them by the roadside.

suī rán虽然yī lù shàng一路上yǒu有hěn很duō多má fán麻烦,zuò zhě作者hái shì还是kàn dào看到le了rén人de的shàn yì善意。

Although there were many troubles along the way, the author still saw human kindness.

tā她xiǎng dào想到dōng fēi东非cǎo yuán草原shàng上de的dòng wù动物kě yǐ可以zì yóu自由qiān xǐ迁徙,bù yòng不用hù zhào护照,yě也méi yǒu没有nà me那么duō多zǔ ài阻碍。

She thought about how animals on the East African savanna can migrate freely without passports and without so many obstacles.

tā她xī wàng希望fēi zhōu非洲guó jiā国家zhī jiān之间de的lǚ xíng旅行néng能gèng更gōng píng公平、gèng更fāng biàn方便,ràng让rén men人们gèng更róng yì容易lái wǎng来往、xué xí学习hé和fā zhǎn发展。

She hopes that travel between African countries can become fairer and more convenient, so that people can move around, learn, and develop more easily.
