Stars were already shining
brightly in the darkening
sky and it was getting cold with the approach of the night.
The wind was blowing grains of sand;
The sun was beating down hard and bright;
The sky was a deep shade of blue that I had never seen before;
The colours of the dunes contrasted
strikingly with the blue of the cloudless sky.

30 June, Morocco 6 月 30 日,摩洛哥
My parents and I had just driven down the narrow
mountain road from Marrakesh, with all its sharp bends, and had finally arrived at Merzouga.Before us stretched the unending sand dunes that marked the beginning of the Sahara. A small boy walked past with a group of noisy goats as I took a long look at the yellow roadside sign that told us we were entering a“fragile natural environment”.
我和父母刚从马拉喀什驱车,沿着狭窄的山路,一路急转弯,终于到达了梅尔祖卡。在我们面前的是绵延不绝的沙丘,它们标志着撒哈拉沙漠的起点。我盯着黄色路标时,一个小男孩赶着一群吵闹的山羊走过。根据路标提示我们正在进入“脆弱的自然环境”。

Before us stretched the unending sand dunes that marked the beginning of the Sahara (lines 3-4)
请把此句还原为正常语序:
The unending sand dunes that marked the beginning of the Sahara stretched before us.
I made a resolution to respect and protect this unique landscape while I was here. We set off, our vehicle quietly running over the sand and small stones. It wasn’t long before we were surrounded by enormous sand dunes towering above us on all sides. The wind was blowing grains of sand from the tops of the dunes, the sun was beating down hard and bright,
当我在此地的时候,我下定决心要尊重和保护这片独特的风景。我们出发了,车在沙子和小石子上静静驶过。不一会儿,我们就被四周高耸的巨大沙丘包围住。风吹动着沙丘顶上的沙粒,阳光照耀着,猛烈而耀眼,

and the sky was a deep shade of blue that I had never seen before. The wild beauty of the desert was about to reveal itself. There was not a plant to be seen. The desert appeared completely empty, which was calming and threatening at the same time. The colours of the dunes contrasted strikingly with the blue of the cloudless sky.
天空是我以前从未见过的深蓝色。沙漠的野性之美即将显露。目光所及之处,一棵植物都没有。沙漠似乎空无一物,这既使人平静,又让人害怕。沙丘的颜色与晴空的蓝色形成了鲜明的对比。

Eventually, as the last rays of sunlight were falling on the sand, we arrived at our desert camp. Stars were already shining brightly in the darkening sky and it was getting cold with the approach of the night. Three camels, slowly chewing, were resting on their knees and watching our arrival with interest.“So, which one of you lucky animals will be my ride tomorrow?” I said out loud as I grabbed my bag and headed towards the warm campfire. I was starving and rushed to put a steak on the barbecue.
当夕阳的余晖洒在沙地上时,我们终于抵达了沙漠营地。星星已经在黑沉沉的天空中闪闪发光。随着夜幕降临,天也渐渐变冷了。三只骆驼跪着休息,慢吞吞地嚼着东西,饶有兴致地注视着我们的到来。“那么,明天你们哪一个幸运儿会成为我的坐骑呢?”我一边大声说道,一边拿起包朝温暖的篝火走去。我饿极了,急忙把一块牛排放在烤肉架上。

3 July, Keny 7 月 3 日,肯尼亚
A few days after our departure from the camp, our car was well and truly stuck in the mud. We were very near to our rest camp in Amboseli National Park located on the border of Kenya when my father, against my mother's advice, decided to drive through a large pool of water that stretched across the dirt road.
离开营地几天后,我们的车就完完全全陷在泥里了。父亲先前不听母亲的劝告,决定开车穿过横跨在泥路上的一大滩水,当时我们离位于肯尼亚边境的安博塞利国家公园休息营地非常近。
para. 3
Two tall slim local people were standing by the roadside watching us with amusement. They must have realized that we were totally helpless, for after a few moments, they wandered over and pushed us free. My father smiled weakly and we drove on as my mother and I waved from the car window.
两个瘦高的当地人站在路边忍俊不禁地看着我们。他们一定意识到了我们完全无能为力,因为过了一会儿,他们便走过来,把我们的车从泥地里推出去。父亲勉强笑了笑,我和母亲从车窗挥手,便
继续前行了。

We found a parking space next to our hut, which was round and made from brick. The walls, painted brilliant white, reflected the afternoon sun. There were five similar huts, all lined up facing Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. The mountain rose up over the plains before us. Tall grasses and trees dotted the plains, which were alive with the African wildlife we had come to see.
在小屋旁边找到了一个停车位,小屋是圆形的,用砖砌成。墙壁被漆成亮白色,反射着午后的阳光。有五间类似的小屋,都排成一列,面朝非洲的最高山脉—乞力马扎罗山。那座山屹立在我们面前的平原上。高高的草丛和树木点缀着平原,平原上到处都是我们此行要看的非洲野生动物。
para. 4
Giraffes, with their long necks, were pulling leaves from the highest branches. In the distance, elephants were eating grass, ears flapping lazily as they moved slowly over the plains. I had never seen anything like this before. It was indeed the greatest show on the Earth.
长颈鹿伸着长长的脖子,从最高的树枝上咬下叶子。远处,大象正在吃草,耳朵懒洋洋地拍打着,在平原上缓缓移动。我以前从没见过这样的场景。这的确是地球上最壮观的景象。
para. 4
We got out of the car, carrying our suitcases and boxes of food into the hut. I placed ham sandwiches, sausages and a bunch of bananas on a small wooden table. I returned to the car and fetched more possessions. It was then that I noticed a small grey monkey sitting on a tree a few metres away and eating a banana.“So cute,” I thought to myself, until I realized it was my banana that he was eating! He was looking at me intently as he enjoyed the final mouthful. I was sure he was saying, “Thank you.” “You’re welcome,”I replied.
我们下了车,提着手提箱和几盒食物进了小屋。我把火腿三明治、香肠和一把香蕉放在一张小木桌上。我回到车里,又拿了些物品。就在那时,我注意到一只灰色的小猴子坐在几米开外的树上,吃着一根香蕉。“太可爱了。”我心想,直到我意识到他吃的正是我的香蕉!他目不转睛地看着我,开心地吃完最后一口。我确定他是在说:“谢谢。”“不客气。”我回答道。
