Lesson 73 The recorder-holder 纪录保持者
【Text】
Children who play truant from school are unimaginative. A quiet day's fishing,
or eight hours in a cinema seeing the same film over and over again, is usually
as far as they get. They have all been put to shame by a boy who, while pl
aying truant, travelled 1,600 miles. He hitchhiked to Dover and, towards ev
ening, went into a boat to find somewhere to sleep. When he woke up next mor
ning, he discovered that the boat had, in the meantime, travelled to Cal
ais. No one noticed the boy as he crept off. From there, he hitchhiked to Paris i
n a lorry. The driver gave him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and left him j
ust outside the city. The next car the boy stopped did not take him into the centr
e of Paris as he hoped it would, but to Perpignan on the French-Spanish
border. There he was picked up by a policeman and sent back to England by the
local authorities. He has surely set up a record for the thousands of children w
ho dream of evading school.
【课文翻译】
学的孩子们都缺乏想像力。他们通常能够做到的,至多也就是安静地钓上一天鱼,或在电影院里坐上8个小时,
一遍遍地看同一部电影。而有那么一个小男孩,他 在逃学期间旅行了1,600英里,从而使上述所有逃学的孩
子们都相形见绌了。他搭便车到了多佛,天快黑时钻进了一条船,想找个地方睡觉。第二天早上他醒来时,发现船
在这段时间已经到了加莱丝。当男孩从船里爬出来时,谁也没有发现他。从那里他又搭上卡车到了巴黎。司机
给了他几块饼干和一杯咖啡,就把他丢在了城外。男孩截住的第二辆车并没有如他所愿将他再到巴黎市区,而
是将他载到了法国与西班牙的边境城市——佩皮尼昂。不幸的是,在那里他被警察找到了,被当地政 府遣送回了
英格兰。在千千万万梦想着逃学的孩子当中,他可是创下了一个“不朽的记录”。
