Lesson 56 Faster than sound!

Once a year, a race is held for old car. 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 race but no less exciting.

參考譯文

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。最漂亮的汽車之一是羅爾斯-羅伊斯生 的銀鬼汽車，而最不尋常的一輛則要屬只有3只輪子的奔馳汽車了。 該車造于1885年，是參賽車中最老的一輛。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面的時間還要長。然而還是有幾輛汽車跑完了全程。獲勝的那輛車達了時速40英里-遠遠超過任何對手。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。它雖然與現代汽車比賽不同，但激動人心的程度并不亞于現代汽車大賽。
