I live in the mountains of West Virginia. 我住在弗吉尼亚西部的山区 The curvy, winding roads 山路蜿蜒曲折 and the vast woodlands 山林广袤 often lead to near misses with the local deer. 车辆长长与山中冲出来的鹿擦肩而过 The other day 有一天 I was driving my son 我开车带着儿子 to work at the sheltered workshop 送他去工坊干活 when we saw a deer in the road 我们在公路上看到一只鹿 that hadn’t been so lucky. 已经没了生机 The driver in front of me 开在前面的车的司机 suddenly swerved 突然转向 to avoid hitting the corpse 避免撞到鹿的尸体 and I quickly followed him 我很快做出同样的操作 jerking the steering wheel 猛地一转方向盘 to get back in the right lane 想要回到右边的车道 before the next blind curve. 赶在下一个视野不佳的弯道出现之前 I could see that 我能看到 the way the dead deer was lying between two blind curves 死掉的鹿正躺在两个视野不佳的弯道中间 we had an accident waiting to happen. |
