电梯elevator[英]['elɪveɪtə(r)] [美][ˈɛləˌvetɚ] 中英文故事：时代广场上空的繁星（1） 突然，灯一下子全熄了，空调的嗡嗡声也戛然而止，周围一片沉寂。我反复地拨弄开关，可一点反应也没有。随后灯泡一闪一闪的，忽明忽暗，屋子里笼罩着模糊的灯光。太奇怪了， 曼哈顿可是很少停电的。 我听到有人敲门。透过猫眼，我看到是父亲。我打开门。尽管有些气喘吁吁，他还是立刻告诉我说："整个东沿岸都停电了，说是尼亚加拉瀑布那里出了问题，有一条输电线路坏了。” 我大吃一惊，输电线路？ 我走进电梯，可门关不上。最后，我只好气冲冲地走了足足9层楼梯下到大厅，看看到底发生了什么事。那架势就跟父亲平时抱怨什么东西坏了时一模一样。 Suddenly the lights went out. The constant drone of the air conditioner was replaced with absolute silence. I flipped the light switch on and off, but nothing happened. Then the lights began to flicker, giving the room a vague glow. This was very bizarre； the power doesn’t usually go off in Manhattan. I heard a knock at the door. I peered through the peephole, and there was my fa-ther. As I opened the door, Dad began talking although he seemed strangely out of breath, “The power is out all along the northern east coast. People are saying that some-thing went wrong at Niagara Falls. A power line must have failed. ” I was astounded. Power line? I was getting on the elevator, and the door wouldn’t close. I got irritated with it and finally climbed down to the lobby——all nine stories—to find out what the matter was. That was just like Dad to get angry at something that didn't work. 中英文例句 1.
