【英语小达人】冒险篇(3):和时间赛跑
Unit 3 Racing Against Time 和时间赛跑
Roy’s dream was to win the Grande Pri. His dream came true on his 26th birthday, when after years of training he entered the race. The race began at noon. Roy and four other cars revved their engines at the starting line, and then they were off. 罗伊的梦想便是赢得一级方程式赛车大赛。他的梦想在他二十六岁生日那年终于实现了,因为经过多年的训练,那年他进入了决赛。比赛于中午开始,罗伊和其他四 部车都在起跑线加速发动机,接着全力冲出。
Roy had a slow start. There were two cars ahead of him and he needed to catch up if he wanted to win the race. As they neared the finish line, the car in front of Roy took a corner too quickly and flipped over blocking the track. 罗伊起步比别人慢,有两部车在他前面,要赢得比赛一定要赶上才行。就在他们接近终点线时,罗伊前面那部车因为转弯。
The car burst into flames. The driver was stuck. Roy pulled over, jumped out of his car and ran over to the other driver. He was unconscious. Roy smashed the window and dragged the driver out of the car. 车子突然起火,驾驶员则被卡在车内。罗伊把车开到路边,从车子里跳出来跑到翻车的那名车手那里,发现他已经不省人事了。罗伊打破车窗,把驾驶员从车子里拖 了出来。
Just when they were a safe distance away the car exploded. If it weren’t for Roy, the man would have died. Roy didn’t win the Grand Prix that year, but he didn’t care. He knew he did the right thing. 就在他们离开车子一段安全距离时,车子爆炸了。如果不是罗伊,这名赛车手便难逃一死。虽然罗伊那年没有赢得一级方程式大赛冠军,但他并不在乎,因为他知道 他做的事情是对的。
