-甘宇回答网友最关心的问题-

Q1.为什么一定要去拉大坝闸门?

Why did you have to pull up the dam's spillway gate?

甘宇：泄洪闸没开，大坝的水是关起的，如果发生水漫坝、溃坝险情，那就十分危险了，下游的人和村庄都要被冲走。所以，我们决定上去把大坝的水放出来，不然真的漫坝了，我们一样跑不掉。那天晚上，我俩在大坝坝肩过的夜，我们盯着水位变化，看看到底放出去了没有。

We thought if the water in the dam stayed shut, and we had water in the dam, if the water came out and overflowed, people down there would suffer from the floods. So, Luo Yong and I made a decision. We proposed that we should discharge some of the water in the dam, or we all couldn't escape when the dam overflowed. Soon after earthquake ended, we raised the gate.

Q2.为什么救援现场只发现了贴身衣物没有见到人影?

Why didn't you show up on site when we just found your clothes and belongs?

甘宇：那是当时我求救的时候用的，后面就是就放在那里，我人就走了，那个东西(就留在那里)。

We went to lift up the spillway gate. That was the thing I used to call for help, and I put it here. It remained there after I left.

Q3. 为什么没有留在原地等待救援?

Why didn't you stay and wait for help?

甘宇：我和罗永两天没吃东西，体力透支严重。而且，我没有野外运动、探险宿营之类的经历，体力赶不上罗永。他是当地村民，对地形也熟悉。我实在走不动了，就对他说，你先去找救援队，我在原地等。

我们约好，等获救了，一块儿到磨西镇或者哪里下馆子搓一顿，菜品不用复杂，简单点就行。我大概等了两三天时间，但是没等到人来，我就想，他怕是在途中遭遇余震不幸遇难了。我不能再等下去了。他走之前给我指过一个方向，我就按他指的那个方向接着往外走。

I had waited for Luo Yong for days after I parted with him. Since he was a local villager and he knew the road well, plus, I am short-sighted, I let him call the rescue team to save us. I stayed there, waiting for them.

But for days, no one responded. Then I was thinking if it might be possible that he had passed away on the way as there were several aftershocks. Then I followed the direction he told me and went straight ahead.

Q4. 如何维持体温?

How did you maintain your body temperature?

甘宇：天气很冷，夜里只有十多度，能听到野生动物的叫声，但是没有碰到，我还是晚上尽量少睡，避免被野兽发现。那个时候真不困，太阳出来了，就找个地方瞌睡一会儿。因为下雨的缘故，我身上披着雨衣，上半身是干的，但下半身通常都是湿的。等出太阳出来的时候，我就躺在地上晒一晒。

15 out of 17 days were rainy days. The rain jacket I wore, only the upper part was dry, the other half was soaked. And the next day when the sun came up, I just lay underneath the sun for a while.

Q5.荒野求生的每一天是怎么度过的?

How did you spend your day when you tried to survive in the wild?

甘宇：早上看不到, 就大概十一点、十二点的时候, 走一点路。下午大概三、四点的时候，就找个地方休息睡觉。晚上有时候是树下,有时候岩石下面，就是梭在那里就行了，晚上尽量少睡觉。

我看过贝尔《荒野求生》的视频，学着里面的样子喝苔藓水。天天下雨嘛，苔藓是湿的，抓起一把使劲吮吸。碰到晴天反而麻烦了，又累又口干，我不得不喝自己的尿液。幸亏这个季节能吃到野生猕猴桃，我看不清，从地上摸到捡起来辨认一下，靠它来充饥。

I could barely see things during the morning, but could take a little walk around 11 or 12 o'clock. By 3 or 4 pm, I would find a place to sleep. Sometimes it was under a tree or a rock. I just needed to curl myself up and hide in there. I tried to sleep as little as possible at night.

I have to drink my own urine to survive. I ate some wild kiwifruits. I had to grope for them on the ground. Kiwi fruit was once not my type, but now I felt they were quite delicious. Yet after that, I only had water to drink when there was nothing to eat. It rained every day. Mosses with water, I took a handful of these to drink. That's how I survived by drinking only a little bit of water.

医生表示，据经验来看，这应该是非常大的极限中的极限，完全只靠水果和野外山泉维持17天这么长时间，应该说是一个很大的奇迹。

According to the doctors, based on theirexperience, this indeed went beyond the very possible limit of a person. They haven't really met a person like him, who could survive in the wild for 17 days only by taking fruits and water in the mountains. It was really a miracle for him to stay alive for such a long time.
