【課文】
Once a year, a race is held for old cars. 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.
一年一度的古董車賽如期舉行。去年,有很多車輛報(bào)名參賽,比賽開始前氣氛異常熱烈。其中最引人注目的是一輛勞斯萊斯·銀魅(Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost)。而最奇特的一輛車則是只有三個(gè)輪子的奔馳,它于1885年制造,是參賽車輛中最古老的一輛。隨著一聲聲巨大的轟鳴,比賽開始了。許多車輛在半路上拋錨,有些駕駛員修車的時(shí)間比開車的時(shí)間還長(zhǎng)!然而,還是有幾輛車完成了比賽。獲勝車輛的速度達(dá)到了每小時(shí)四十英里——遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過了其他所有對(duì)手。比賽接近尾聲時(shí),它飛速?zèng)_下山坡,駕駛員費(fèi)了好大勁才讓車停下來。這場(chǎng)比賽給大家?guī)砹藰O大的樂趣。它雖然與現(xiàn)代汽車比賽大不相同,但同樣激動(dòng)人心。
