Faster than sound! 比聲音還快!
Oncea year, a race is held for old cars. A lot of carsentered for this race last year and there was a great deal of excitement justbefore it began. One of the most handsome cars was a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost.The most unusual car was a Benz which had only three wheels. Built in 1885, it was the oldest car taking part. After a great many loudexplosions, the race began. Many of the cars broke downon the course and some drivers spent more time under their cars than in them! A few cars, however, completed the race. The winning car reached a speed of forty milesan hour ——much faster than any of its rivals. It speddownhill at the end of the race and its driver had a lot of trouble trying tostop it. The race gave everyone a great deal of pleasure. It was very differentfrom modern car races but no less exciting.

舊式汽車的比賽每年舉行一次。去年有很多汽車參加了這項比賽。比賽開始之前,人們異常激動。比較漂亮的汽車之一是羅爾斯——羅伊斯生產(chǎn)的銀鬼汽車,而比較不尋常的一輛則要屬只有3只輪子的奔馳牌汽車了。該車造于1885年,是參賽車中比較老的一輛。在好一陣喧鬧的爆炸聲之后,比賽開始了。很多汽車在途中就拋了錨,而有些駕駛員花在汽車底下的時間比坐在汽車?yán)锩娴臅r間還長。然而還是有幾輛汽車跑完了全程。獲勝的那輛車達(dá)到了時速40英里——遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過任何對手。它在接近終點時,沖下了山坡,駕駛員費了好大勁才把車停下來。這次比賽使每個人都挺開心。它雖然與現(xiàn)代汽車比賽大不相同,但激動人心的程度并不亞于現(xiàn)代化汽車大賽。
