A snail 1



A snail crossing the road was run over by a turtle. Later at the hospital he regained 2 consciousness and was asked what happened. "It happened so fast I can’t remember," the snail replied.



Notes:

1. A snail crossing the road was run over by a turtle.

一只正在过马路的蜗牛被一只乌龟碾过。



2. Later at the hospital he regained consciousness and was asked what happened.

后来在医院蜗牛恢复了意识,被问起发生了什么事。



“失去意识”用lose consciousness,表达“恢复意识”的动词可以用recover或regain。



3. "It happened so fast I can’t remember," the snail replied.

蜗牛因“发生得大快.我不记得了。”



fast的后面省略了一个that,这个句型已在前面出现多次,即“so...(that)...”(如此······以致于······)。

从人类的角度来看,乌龟的动作是很慢的;但是在蜗牛看来,乌龟就很快。所以有人说:“世界上没有绝对的真理, 只有相对的真理。”
