   Falling over the falls


   堕落瀑布
  Sure lots of people had done it. The first person to do it and live was a woman in the 1800s. Well, now it was Tammy's turn. She was going to get into a barrel 1 and be pushed from the top of Niagara Falls!
  这件事的确有很多人做过,第一个做这件事又活下来的人士1800年代的意味女性。现在嘛,该轮到泰咪上场了。她即将进入一个大桶子里,然后让人从尼加拉瀑布最上面推下去!
  People from newspapers came to take her picture. Her mother and sister were there for support. A few tourists watched and some took pictures.
  人们从报纸上得知此一消息,纷纷前来替她拍照。她妈妈和姐姐也在那里帮忙。有些游客在那里观看,有些游客则在拍照。
  Tammy climbed in to the barrel and looked over the 175-foot waterfall. They put on the lid and pushed her over.
  泰咪爬进桶子,看着175英尺高的瀑布。他们盖上盖子,然后把她推了下去。
  Inside the barrel Tammy knocked around like a penny in a jar. She was falling fast, and the pressure was almost too much. Water was leaking in the cracks. Tammy tried to plug her ears.
  泰咪在桶子里面撞来撞去,就像罐子里的一分硬币一样。她坠落的速度很快,而且水压有点过大。水从裂缝里漏了进来,外面的水声则是大得要命,于是泰咪试着堵住耳朵。
  She fell further and further, until she hit the water like a sack 2 of rocks. The barrel sunk down into the lake at the bottom of the waterfall. Just when Tammy thought she was going to die, the barrel bounced 3 out of the water and floated to shore.
  她进一步往下坠落,最后像一袋石头一样打中水面。桶子在瀑布下面往湖底下沉,就在泰咪觉得自己快活不成时,桶子弹出水面漂到了岸边。
