It's strong, doesn't absorb water, 它強度高 不吸水
and most importantly, it's hollow, full of air,and super buoyant. 最重要的是它是空心的 竹節(jié)里充滿空氣 因此浮力超強
What I'm trying to do here is just create these sort of holes through the bamboo, 我現(xiàn)在要做的是 在竹子上戳些這種洞

This raft needs to be strong, 竹筏必須要結(jié)實
but it also needs to be big enough to support me in the sea swell. 同時也要有足夠大的面積 才能在海浪波濤中屹立不倒
And just put the crossbeams in here. 把大梁固定在這
It's gonna be the support for both the outriggers. 它能作為舷外浮材的支撐物
