Lesson 73 The record holder 纪录保持者
Childen who play truant from school are unimaginative.A quiet day's fishing,or eight hours in a cinema seeing the same film over and over again,is usually as far as they get.They have all been put to shame by a boy who,while playing truant,travelled 1600 miles.He hitvhhiked to Dover and,towards evening,went into a boat to find somewhere to sleep.When he woke up next morning,he discovered that the boat had,in the maeantime,travelled to Calais.No one noticed the boy as he crept off.from there,he hitchhiked to paris in a lorry.The driver gave him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and left him just outside the city.the next car the boy stopped did not take him into the centre of pairs as he hoped it would,but to perpingnan on the french-spanish border.there he was picked up by a policeman and sent back to England by the local anthorities.He has surely set up a record for the thousand of children who dream of evading school.
逃学的孩子们都缺乏想象力.他们通常能够做到的,至多也就是安静地钓上一天鱼,或在电影院里坐上8个小时,一遍遍地看同一部电影.而有那么一个小男孩,他再逃学期间旅行了1600盈利,从而使上述所有逃学的孩子们都相形见绌了.他便打车到了多佛,太快黑时钻进了一条船,想找个地方睡觉.第二天早上他醒来时,发现船在这时已经到了加来.当男孩从船里爬出时,谁也没有发现他.从哪里他又搭上了卡车到了巴黎.司机给了他几块饼干和一杯咖啡,就把他丢在了城外.男孩截住的下一辆车,没有像他希望的那样把他带到巴黎市中心,而是把他带到了法国和西班牙边界上的佩皮尼昂.他在那儿被一个警察抓住了,之后被当局送回了英国.他无疑为成千上万梦想逃学的孩子们创造了一项纪录.
这是我买的新概念二书上的课文,我花了很长时间给你打出来的,希望对你有所帮助~
