We're on That Mountain Over There
我们在那座山上


My son and I became lost while hiking high in the southern Rockies.
在落基山脉徒步旅行时，由于爬得太高，我和儿子都迷了路。

I immediately went to work with my map and compass to determine where we had gone off course.
我立刻拿出地图和罗盘来确定我们是在哪几走错了路。

My son, an electronics engineer, produced from his pack a hand-held Global Positioning System receiver.
我的儿子是位电子学工程师，他却马上从包里拿出一个全球定位系统接收器。

\"I know exactly where we are, \" he proudly announced, after carefully locking the instrument on four satellites high above the earth and checking his map. \"We're on that mountain there!\"
他很小心地把仪器锁定在地球上空的四个卫星上，认真地看了看仪器上的图。然后他自豪地宣布道：“我知道我们的确切位置了。我们就在那边的那个山上！”
