许多年前,我骑着自行车出外游玩,路过一片风景绝美的乡村郊野。突然大片乌云压顶,大雨倾盆而下;不过说来奇怪,就在前方几百码的地方,竟是一派阳光灿烂。即便我蹬着车,尽快往前冲,却怎么也到不了天晴的地方。乌云夹着大雨不断推进,速度比我还快。筋疲力尽地骑了半个小时后,我放弃了这场不对等的比赛,终于意识到自己根本无法到达前头那片晴朗的天地。
Many years ago,I was on a bicycle tripthrough some1)exceedingly2)picturesque countryside.Suddenly,dark clouds piled up overhead and rain began to fall,but3)strange to relate,several hundred4)yards ahead of me the sun shone brilliantly.Pedaling,however,as rapidly as I could,I found it impossible to get into the clear.The clouds with their rain kept advancing faster than I could race forward.I continued this unequal5)contest for an exhausting half hour,before realizing that I could not win my way to the bright area ahead of me.
