“Halt, stop right there,” shouts a Peruvian Navy Seal(海军海豹突击队), firing warning shots(鸣枪示警) into the air. But the fleeing man pays no attention, scrambling(攀爬，仓皇爬行) up to the rim of a football pitch-sized crater and disappearing into the dense rainforest as the commandos give chase(追赶), swearing and shooting.
“站住，不许动！”一名秘鲁海军陆战队员喊道，朝空中鸣枪示警。但逃跑的男子毫不理会，他爬上一个足球场大小的坑洞边缘，消失在茂密的雨林中，突击队员一边追赶，一边咒骂和射击。
Meanwhile, other marines set dynamite charges(炸药包) on a makeshift(临时凑合的) wooden raft that floats in the crater, which is essentially an enormous pit of opaque(不透明的), stagnant(停滞的，不流动的) water. The raft has a diesel-fuelled suction pump motor with thick plastic tubing used to suck up and sift through(筛选，仔细检查) river sediment(沉积物) for tiny particles of gold.
与此同时，其他海军陆战队员在一个漂浮在坑洞中的简易木筏上安放炸药。这个坑洞实际上是一个巨大的、充满不透明死水的深坑。木筏上有一台柴油吸水泵发动机，配有粗塑料管，用来吸取和筛选河底沉积物，寻找微小的金粒。
Soon after, a mushroom(蘑菇云；迅速蔓延) of orange and black fumes envelops(笼罩，包裹) the trees – and seconds later comes the sound of the explosion, shattering(打破，粉碎) the peace of the Tambopata National Reserve(坦博帕塔国家保护区), one of Peru’s most prized Amazon parks.
不久之后，一团橙黑色的烟雾如蘑菇云般笼罩了树木——几秒钟后传来爆炸声，打破了坦博帕塔国家保护区的宁静。该保护区是秘鲁最珍贵的亚马逊公园之一。
