A lot of cars entered for this race last year and there was a great deal of excitement just before 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 loud explosions, the race began. Many of the cars broke down on 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 miles an hour -- much faster than any of its rivals. It sped downhill at the end of the race and its driver had a lot of trouble trying to stop it. The race gave everyone a great deal of pleasure. It was very different from modern car races but no less exciting.</P> <br><P>New words and expressions 生词和短语</P> <br><P>sound n. 声音<BR>excitement n. 激动，兴奋<BR>handsome adj. 漂亮的；美观的<BR>Rolls-Royce 罗尔斯--罗伊斯<BR>Benz n. 奔驰<BR>wheel n. 轮子<BR>explosion n. 爆炸，轰响<BR>course n. 跑道；行程<BR>rival n. 对手<BR>speed v. 疾驶<BR>downhill adv. 下坡</P> <br><P>参考译文</P> <br><P> 旧式汽车的比赛每年举行一次。去年有很多汽车参加了这项比赛。比赛开始之前，人们异常激动。最漂亮的汽车之一是罗尔斯--罗伊斯生产的银鬼汽车，而最不寻常的一辆则要属只有3只轮子的奔驰牌汽车了。该车造于1885年，是参赛车中最老的一辆。在好一阵喧闹的爆炸声之后，比赛开始了。很多汽车在途中就抛了锚，而有些驾驶员花在汽车底下的时间比坐在汽车里面的时间还长。然而还是有几辆汽车跑完了全程。获胜的那辆车达到了时速40英里--远远超过任何对手。它在接近终点时，冲下了山坡，驾驶员费了好大劲才把车停下来。这次比赛使每个人都挺开心。它虽然与现代汽车比赛大不相同，但激动人心的程度并不亚于现代化汽车大赛。</P> <br> <br></div> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> </td> <br> </tr> <br> <tr> <br> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td width="3%"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="3%" height="27"> </td> <td width="94%" height="27"> <div align="center"></div> </td> <td width="3%" height="27"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="3%"> </td> <td width="94%"> <div align="right"><a href="/kbs/index-1.html"> 返回</a><br> <br> </div> </td> <td width="3%"> </td> </tr> </table> <br> </td> <td width="162" valign="top" bgcolor="#F3F3F3" height="470"> <!--ad--> </td> </tr> </table> <table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="6" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <tr> <td bgcolor="#003366" height="1"></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> <div class="row global_footer"> <hr /> <div class="col-md-3"> </div> <div class="col-md-5"> Copyright © 2023 Qeto All rights reserved. <br /> <a href="https://www.qeto.com/help/business.php" rel="nofollow">商务合作</a> | <a href="https://www.qeto.com/help/connect_us.php" rel="nofollow">联系我们</a> | <a href="https://www.qeto.com/help/about_us.php" rel="nofollow">关于我们</a> | <a href="https://www.qeto.com/help/copyright.php" rel="nofollow">版权声明</a> | <a href="https://www.qeto.com/help/privacy.php" rel="nofollow">隐私条款</a> | <a href="https://www.incasedo.cn">如果智培</a> <br /><br /> <a href="https://beian.miit.gov.cn" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">京ICP备05059198号-1</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.beian.gov.cn/portal/registerSystemInfo?recordcode=11011202003401"><img src="https://www.qeto.com/imgs/ghs.png" />京公网安备 11011202003401号</a> </div> <div class="col-md-3"> </div> </div> </div> <div style="display:none" id="show_mp3_loading"> <img src="https://yun.qeto.com/imgs/module/loading-balls.gif" /> </div> <div style="display:none" id="show_mp3_playing"> <img src="https://yun.qeto.com/imgs/module/speak.gif" /><h1 id="audio_play_countnum1"></h1> </div> <script type="text/javascript" src="//cpro.baidustatic.com/cpro/ui/cm.js" async="async" defer="defer"></script> <!--[if !IE]> --> <script src="/assets/js_min/jquery.min.js"></script> <!-- <![endif]--> <!--[if IE]> <script src="/assets/js_min/jquery1x.min.js"></script> <![endif]--> <script type="text/javascript">if('ontouchstart' in document.documentElement) document.write("<script src='/assets/js_min/jquery.mobile.custom.min.js'>"+"<"+"/script>");</script> <script src="/assets/js_min/bootstrap.min.js"></script> <!--[if lte IE 8]> <script src="/assets/js_min/excanvas.min.js"></script> <![endif]--> <!--[if IE 6]> <script src="/js17_min/png.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> DD_belatedPNG.fix('.png'); </script> <![endif]--> <script>var _hmt =_hmt ||[];(function() {var hm =document.createElement("script");hm.src ="https://hm.baidu.com/hm.js?09b4e7e043eb276bdbd052a3002440a4";var s =document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(hm,s);})();</script> <script>(function(){var bp =document.createElement('script');var curProtocol =window.location.protocol.split(':')[0];if (curProtocol ==='https') {bp.src ='https://zz.bdstatic.com/linksubmit/push.js';} else {bp.src ='http://push.zhanzhang.baidu.com/push.js';} var s =document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(bp,s);})();</script> <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-10855345-1"></script> <script>window.dataLayer =window.dataLayer ||[];function gtag() gtag('js',new Date());gtag('config','UA-10855345-1');</script> <div id="debug"> </div> </BODY></HTML>
