Chris Jones 刚刚结束了一次不寻常的印度之旅,记者就此对他进行了采访。以下是采访的部分内容:

Reporter:

Chris: Well, it all started two years ago when I was having a trip to India. I visited a photographic(摄影)exhibition of elephants and I realized that the only way to travel around India was on an elephant.

Reporter: What did you do next?

Chris: I flew to New Delhi and started looking for an elephant. I needed an elephant trained to carry people. I asked an expert for help. He taught me how to ride an elephant. He also helped me find an elephant.

Reporter:

Chris: Not too long, I bought a female(母的)elephant called Tara for about USD 6000.

Reporter:

Chris: Tara and I set off from New Delhi a week later. We were heading to Sonepur in northern India. And what a ride! Elephants can travel at about 6 miles an hour and Sonepur was more than 1200 km away. It took us 64 days to complete the journey.

Reporter:

Chris: Yes, a few. But nothing serious.On the third day, Tara hurt her foot. But that got better quickly. Also, there was a lot of heavy rain during the first week and we got very wet!

“He might hurt my Erik,” I thought.Everyone in the restaurant looked at us and the old man.Then we decided to leave.The old man sat between the door and us.

As I walked closer to the man, I turned my back.Suddenly, Erik leaned(倾斜) over my arms, reaching with both arms in a baby’s pick-me-up position(姿势).Before I could stop him, Erik had escaped(逃跑) from my arms to the man’s.Soon the very old smelly man and my young baby developed a kind of friendship.
