A snail crossing the road was run over by a turtle. Later at the hospital he regained consciousness and was asked what happened. "It happened so fast I can’t remember," the snail replied.
Notes:
1. A snail crossing the road was run over by a turtle.
一只正在過馬路的蝸牛被一只烏龜碾過。
2. Later at the hospital he regained consciousness and was asked what happened.
后來在醫(yī)院蝸?;謴?fù)了意識(shí),被問起發(fā)生了什么事。
“失去意識(shí)”用lose consciousness,表達(dá)“恢復(fù)意識(shí)”的動(dòng)詞可以用recover或regain。
3. "It happened so fast I can’t remember," the snail replied.
蝸牛因“發(fā)生得大快.我不記得了。”
fast的后面省略了一個(gè)that,這個(gè)句型已在前面出現(xiàn)多次,即“so...(that)...”(如此······以致于······)。
從人類的角度來看,烏龜?shù)膭?dòng)作是很慢的;但是在蝸??磥恚瑸觚斁秃芸?。所以有人說:“世界上沒有絕對(duì)的真理, 只有相對(duì)的真理。”
