第3單元 和時(shí)間賽跑
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.
羅伊的夢(mèng)想便是贏得一級(jí)方程式賽車(chē)大賽。他的夢(mèng)想在他二十六歲生日那年終于實(shí)現(xiàn)了,因?yàn)榻?jīng)過(guò)多年的訓(xùn)練,那年他進(jìn)入了決賽。比賽于中午開(kāi)始,羅伊和其他四部車(chē)都在起跑線加速發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī),接著全力沖出。
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.
羅伊起步比別人慢,有兩部車(chē)在他前面,要贏得比賽一定要趕上才行。就在他們接近終點(diǎn)線時(shí),羅伊前面那部車(chē)因?yàn)檗D(zhuǎn)彎。
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.
車(chē)子突然起火,駕駛員則被卡在車(chē)內(nèi)。羅伊把車(chē)開(kāi)到路邊,從車(chē)子里跳出來(lái)跑到翻車(chē)的那名車(chē)手那里,發(fā)現(xiàn)他已經(jīng)不省人事了。羅伊打破車(chē)窗,把駕駛員從車(chē)子里拖 了出來(lái)。
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.
就在他們離開(kāi)車(chē)子一段安全距離時(shí),車(chē)子爆炸了。如果不是羅伊,這名賽車(chē)手便難逃一死。雖然羅伊那年沒(méi)有贏得一級(jí)方程式大賽冠軍,但他并不在乎,因?yàn)樗?他做的事情是對(duì)的。
