【英语小达人】探险篇(2)：开车旅行
Unit 2 Road Trip 开车旅行
Tired and frustrated of working as a waitress, Mary decided to take a road trip. She loaded up her VW van and headed south. She didn’t know where she was going. She was just going to go until her money ran out. 玛丽是一名女侍，因为工作上带来的疲累和挫败，她决定开车旅行。她把要带的东西装进她那台VW 货车上，然后往南开。她不知道自己要去哪里，目的只是想旅行到钱花光为止。
On her way out of town, she stopped at a corner store to pick up some road maps, chocolate, and dried dog food for her dog. One day in a restaurant, a strange-looking man approached Mary. He seemed familiar, but she didn’t know from where. 她出城的路上，在街头小店买了些公路图、巧克力和她的狗要吃的干狗食。有一天在一家餐厅里，有个陌生面孔向玛丽这边走过来；他看起来有点面熟，但就是想不起来在哪里见过。
He invited her to sit at his table. “I have a message for you,” he said. He handed Mary an envelope. She took the envelope. Inside was a note. It read, “You already have everything you are searching for. Go home.” 他邀请她坐到他那一桌，然后说∶“我有信息要给你。”他交给玛丽一个信封，于是玛丽打开信封，里面是一张纸条，上面写着∶“你想寻找的一切都已经有了，回家吧。”
Mary was confused by the letter, but had an idea about what it meant. Mary always got in her van and ran away when life was tough. She was always searching for a better place, and of course never found it. That same day, Mary turned around and went home. He was right; she already had everything she was searching for. 玛丽被那封信弄糊涂了，但她知道纸条写的是什么意思。玛丽碰到生活不如意时总是会开着她的货车离家。她一直在寻找一个更好的地方，不过当然啰，她从来没有找到过。于是那一天，玛丽便掉头打道回府了。他说得对，所有她想找的东西她都已经有了。
