Lesson88
【课文】
Six men have been trapped in a mine for seventeen hours. If they are
not
brought
to
the
surface
soon
they
may
lose
their
lives.
However,
rescue
operations
are
proving
difficult.
If
explosives
are
used,
vibrations
will
cause the roof of the mine to collapse. Rescue workers are therefore
drilling a hole on the north side of the mine. They intend to bring the
men up in a special capsule. If there had not been a hard layer of rock
beneath the soil, they would have completed the job in a few hours. As
it is, they have been drilling for sixteen hours and they still have a
long way to go.
Meanwhile, a
microphone,
which was lowered
into the mine
two hours ago, has enabled the men to keep in touch with their closest
relatives. Though they are running out of food and drink, the men are
cheerful and confident that they will get out soon. They have been told
that rescue operations are progressing smoothly. If they knew how
difficult it was to drill through the hard rock, they would lose heart.

Lesson89
【课文】
People
will
do
anything
to
see
a
free
show
--
even
if
it
is
a
bad
one.
When
the
news
got
round
that
a
comedy
show
would
be
presented
at
our
local
cinema by the P. and U. Bird Seed Company, we all rushed to see it. We
had
to
queue
for
hours
to
get
in
and
there
must
have
been
several
hundred
people present just before the show began. Unfortunately, the show was
one
of
the
dullest
we
have
ever
seen.
Those
who
failed
to
get
in
need
not
have
felt
disappointed,
as
many
of
the
artistes
who
should
have
appeared
did not come. The only funny things we heard that evening came from the
advertiser at the beginning of the programme. He was obviously very
nervous and for some minutes stood awkwardly before the microphone. As
soon
as
he
opened
his
mouth,
everyone
burst
out
laughing.
We
all
know
what
the poor man should have said, but what he actually said was: 'This is
the Poo and Ee Seed Bird Company. Good ladies, evening and gentlemen!

人们总要想尽办法看不花钱的演出——哪怕是拙劣的演出。
当“皮尤”鸟食

我们都赶紧跑去观看。
我们

在演出开始前场内肯定已有好几百人了。

那些没能进到场内的人没有必

那天晚上有趣的事情是节
目开始时那个报幕员的开场 白。
他显然非常紧张，
局促不安地在麦克风前站了好
几分钟。
但他刚一开口说 话，
人们便哄堂大笑起来。
我们都明白那个可怜的人应
该说些什么，而他实际说的却是 ：“这是‘浦伊’鸟食公司，好女士们，晚上和
先生们!”
