It was little more than a shallow ditch spattered with ram's blood.

它只不过是一条溅满公羊血的浅沟。

The next morning I dug a shallow ditch around the tent, and, an hour later, a sudden gust of wind, whipping over the rocky wall behind us, picked up the tent and smashed it down on the sand thirty yards away.

第二天我在帐篷周围挖了一道浅沟，一小时以后一阵大风突然从背后的岩壁顶上刮了过来，把帐篷连根拔起，掼到了三十英尺外的沙滩上。
