林赛:在翻看一本蒙古地图册的时候,我发现了一个像长城的符号,但我在图例中查找时,却发现它并不是中国长城。当然,怎么可能是呢,它是在蒙古境内。它是成吉思汗长城。最后我在Google Earth上发现了这条穿越戈壁滩南部的模糊线条。因此它本来就在地图上,但我没有发现它。不过我是第一个到达那里的研究者,而且去那里很不容易。那是戈壁滩的心脏地带。
Didn't you risk your life in one expedition?
《华尔街日报》:你这不是为了一次考察冒生命危险吗?
It turned out that way. Just a year before, I had made a documentary, and I wanted to take viewers of the documentary to one of the rarest parts of the wall, dating from 110 B.C.
林赛:结果确实是这样。就在一年前,我做了一部纪录片,我希望把这部片子的观众带到从公元前110年就开始存在的这段最人迹罕至的长城。
We couldn't get there with vehicles, because there were dried-up watercourses, wadis, very deep, preventing vehicle access. I was going in with a crew of filmmakers carrying equipment, and some of the members of the crew ignored my caution to take 10 bottles. It transpired halfway through this filming sequence that many people only set off with two or three bottles of water, so those with the water had to share it out, and that meant everyone was short of water on the return trek. People started suffering from cramps, collapsing with the heat, and eventually we decided on a rescue plan: Me, my assistant and the cameraman would continue on trying to get to the road and organizing a rescue, while the others waited.
