第20單元 斜坡撞擊事件
My friends and I spent New Year's Eve at a resort in the mountains. When we arrived, we unloaded our bags and headed for the hill. I was so excited! What an adventure!
我朋友們和我除夕那天去山里的一個度假勝地游玩。我們到那邊卸下旅行袋后，就往山坡出發(fā)。我好興奮哦!真是很棒的一次冒險。
Although my friend's were veteran boarers this was my first time snowboarding. They suggested I take lessons, but I wanted to head straight for the black diamond.
雖然朋友們都是個中老手，但這卻是我第一次玩滑雪板。他們本來建議我先上幾堂課，但我想直接向難關(guān)挑戰(zhàn)。
I disregarded their warning and joined them on the chairlift. When we reached the top, my friends took off down the hill.
我無視于他們的警告便和他們一起上了索道升降椅。抵達山頂后，我朋友們就開始一個一個滑下山去。
Meanwhile, I couldn't stand up on my snoeboard. After thirty minutes I finally managed to push off from the top of the hill.
這段時間我連澡滑雪板上站直都有困難，直到過了三十分鐘，我才終于準備好從山頂出發(fā)。
Within seconds I was flying down the hill, the wind in my hair, the sun at my back. This is great, I thought. What a rush! But suddenly, my snowboard veered off the slope and into the trees. I couldn't stop.
結(jié)果不到幾秒時間，我就沿著山坡飛馳而下，風(fēng)吹著頭發(fā)、太陽曬著背的感覺真好!我心想，這實在太棒了，沖得好快啊!不過突然間，我的滑雪板卻改變方向滑出斜坡往一堆樹沖過去，而且我停不下來。
I hit a rock and I sailed into the air, landing head first. I cried for help until the ski patrol came torescue me. An emergency vehicle brought me down the hill. I spent the rest of our vacation cooped up in the cabin.
我撞到一顆石頭，然后飛到空中，頭朝前跌在地上。我大聲呼救，終于等到來救我的滑雪巡邏隊，然后被緊急救援車輛給送下山。假期剩下的時間我都把自己關(guān)在小屋里。
