【課文】

The great racing driver, Sir Malcolm Campbell, was the first man to drive at over 300 miles per hour. He set up a new world record in September 1935 at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah. Bluebird, the car he was driving, had been specially built for him. It was over 30 feet in length and had a 2,500-horsepower engine. Although Campbell reached a speed of over 304 miles per hour, he had great difficulty in controlling the car because a tyre burst during the first run. After his attempt, Campbell was disappointed to learn that his average speed had been 299 miles per hour. However, a few days later, he was told that a mistake had been made. His average speed had been 301 miles per hour. Since that time, racing drivers have reached speeds over 600 miles an hour. Following in his father's footsteps many years later, Sir Malcolm's son, Donald, also set up a world record. Like his father, he was driving a car called Bluebird.

偉大的賽車手馬爾科姆·坎貝爾爵士是第一個(gè)駕駛速度超過每小時(shí)300英里的人。1935年9月，他在猶他州的邦納維爾鹽灘創(chuàng)下了新的世界紀(jì)錄。他駕駛的汽車名為“藍(lán)鳥”，是專門為他打造的。這輛車長30多英尺，配備了2500馬力的發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)。盡管坎貝爾的速度超過了每小時(shí)304英里，但由于在第一圈行駛中輪胎爆裂，他很難控制汽車。嘗試之后，坎貝爾得知自己的平均速度僅為每小時(shí)299英里，感到非常失望。然而，幾天后，他被告知之前計(jì)算有誤。他的平均速度實(shí)際上是每小時(shí)301英里。自那時(shí)起，賽車手們的駕駛速度已經(jīng)超過了每小時(shí)600英里。多年后，馬爾科姆爵士的兒子唐納德追隨父親的腳步，也創(chuàng)下了世界紀(jì)錄。和父親一樣，他駕駛的也是一輛名為“藍(lán)鳥”的汽車。
