埋伏在山上 meaning in Chinese

lay in ambush on the mountain

I could have shot as many as i pleas d , but was very sparing of my powder and shot ; and therefore had more mind to kill a she goat , if i could , which i could better feed on ; and though there were many goats here more than on my side the island , yet it was with much more difficulty that i could come near them , the country being flat and even , and they saw me much sooner than when i was on the hill
这儿鸟那么多，我本可以爱打多少就打多少，但我不想浪费弹药。要是能打到一只山羊就能吃得更好。可是，这儿山羊虽比我住的那边多，但因这一带地势平坦，稍一靠近它们就被发现，不像那边我埋伏在山上难以被山羊察觉。
