雾fog[英][fɒɡ] [美][fɔɡ, fɑɡ] 中英文小故事：雾中领路人 一天，伦敦城大雾弥漫。史密斯先生刚从爱丁堡来到伦敦参加一个非常重要的会议，但街上没有公共汽车和出租车，因为能见度太差，司机们不敢开车。现在是九点钟， 史密斯先生的会议要到十点钟才开始，所以他想步行到办公室。他往四处看了看，发现街上根本没有行人。 他站在那儿，抱怨着大雾，琢磨着得给办公室打个电 话，说他不能来了。这时一个年轻人走了过来，对他说道： “先生，你想去哪儿，我可以给你带路。” 史密斯先生很惊讶，“四处大雾迷漫，你怎么能找着路呢？” “不用担心，先生，”年轻人说，“请相信我。” 史密斯先生告诉年轻人他想去的地方，接着就挽住他的胳膊，一起动身了。他们走得很快，又是拐弯，又是过马路。 史密斯先生心想，“这个人大概疯了，也可能是个贼，说不定我会葬身河底。” 但没过一会儿，年轻人停住了，说：“先生，就是这里 了。”史密斯先生吃了一惊，他发现真的已经到了他一直在找的办公室。他给了年轻人一英镑，然后问道：“你是怎么在大雾中找着路的？” “我双目失明，先生。”年轻人答道，“但是我很了解伦敦，有雾没雾对我来说完全一个样儿。” A Guide in the Fog It was a very foggy day in London. Mr. Smith had arrived from Edinburgh to go to a very important meeting, but no buses or taxis were running because the drivers were not able to see more than a yard in front of them. It was nine o’clock，and his meeting would not begin till ten, so he thought that he would walk to the office. But when he looked around in the street, he saw that nobody was even trying to walk anywhere. While he was standing there，complaining about the fog，and thinking that he would have to telephone to the office and say that he was not able to come，a young man came up to him and said，“Sir，if you want to go somewhere » I can guide you. ” Mr. Smith was very surprised and said，“How can you find the way when there is thick fog everywhere.”“Do not worry，sir,”answered the young man.“Trust me. ” So Mr. Smith told the young man where he wanted to go，took his arm, and they started. They walked quite fast, turning corners and crossing roads. Mr. Smith thought，“Perhaps this man is mad, or a thief，perhaps I shall finish up dead in the river. ” But a minute later, the young man stopped and said. “Here is the place，sir. ” Mr. Smith was surprised to find that he had really reached the office he had been looking for. He gave the young man a pound and then said，“How did you find the way in the fog?” “I am blind，sir answered the young man, “but I know London well，and it is exactly the same for me in the fog. ” 中英文例句 1. A truck suddenly materialized out of the fog. 一辆卡车突然驶出烟雾。 2. He was in the harbor, on a tugboat, when the carpathia sliced through the fog. 当卡帕提亚号冒着烟雾前行时，他正在海港的一艘拖船里。 3. The overworked exhausts add to the fog that clings to the city. 大量的废气排放使城里烟雾沉沉。 4. Instead, distant galaxies called blazars that shine like headlights through the fog have been the best targets for observation. 可以代替的是一种称为耀变体的遥远星系，它像烟雾的车头灯那样，已经成为观察河外背景光的最佳目标。 5. Subtract out the known intensity of younger stars and galaxies, and the part of the fog that's left must be light from the first generation of stars. 扣除了年代比较近和星系的已知强度，所存留下来的部分烟雾必然可以反映出最早第一代恒星所产生的光束。 |
