1. The fire of dawn lights a path across Africa's Zambezi River, where villagers in Zambia travel as they always have—in a dugout canoe. 黎明的阳光在非洲赞比西河上照亮了一道水路，赞比亚的村民像以往那样乘着独木舟在河上行进。
2. War thundered and whined around the dugout and battered at the door. 战斗在地下掩蔽部外面雷鸣着，而且猛击着入口。
3. Two of our snipers, hidden in the brush, kept picking off enemy soldiers as they emerged from the dugout . 藏在矮我们两个狙击兵藏在矮林中把从战壕中走出的敌兵一个个地射死。
4. Imagine living in a pioneer log cabin in Wisconsin, on the prairie in Indian territory, or in a sod dugout by a creek in Minnesota (a shelter built into the ground of a hillside). 想像住在威斯康星州的小木屋里，在印第安人的草原领土上，或者是住在明尼苏达州溪畔的石洞里。
5. We traveled one of these in dugout canoes, canoes paddled with machete-hewn oars, or poled in the shallows with bamboo. 我们荡舟其上，划着用大砍刀砍削而成的木桨，在浅水处则以竹当篙。
