CHAPTER 9 BIN HUR We swirl through time until the chronometer reads 65
我们在时间中旋转,直到计时器显示65
BC and we start plummeting towards the ground. We land but this time we don't stop moving. I peep out of the lid and realise why. We're hurtling along a chariot racing track in the middle of an Ancient Roman chariot race and, surprisingly, we don't seem to be doing that badly. It looks like we're in fourth place. 'Oh dear,' says the inspector. 'This looks dangerous.'
BC,我们开始向地面坠落。 我们着陆了,但这次我们没有停止移动。 我从盖子往外看,明白了原因。 我们正在古罗马战车比赛的赛道上疾驰,令人惊讶的是,我们似乎做得并不差。 看起来我们是第四名了。 “哦,天哪,”巡查员说。 “这看起来很危险。”
'Hey, look,' says Terry, 'an Ancient Roman Andy and an Ancient Roman Terry!' Terry's right! Ahead of us are two chariots—one being driven by someone who looks a lot like Terry and the other by someone who looks a lot like me.
“嘿,看,”特里说,“一个古罗马的安迪和一个古罗马的特里!”特里是正确的!在我们前面有两辆战车——一辆由一个长得很像特里的人驾驶,另一辆由一个长得很像我的人驾驶。
Coming up behind them is a scary-looking woman driving a chariot with big spikes on its wheels.
在他们身后出现了一个看起来很可怕的女人,她驾驶着一辆轮子上有大钉子的战车。
She is getting closer and closer to Ancient Roman Andy's chariot, and then the metal spike crashes through his wheel and smashes it to pieces! His chariot skids wildly and tips over. Ancient Roman Andy is thrown from his chariot onto the racetrack.
她越来越接近古罗马安迪的战车,然后金属钉穿过他的车轮,把它撞成碎片!他的战车猛烈地打滑,翻倒了。 古罗马人安迪从他的战车上被扔到赛马场上。
He's still holding onto his horse's reins, though, and is being dragged along on his stomach.
尽管如此,他仍然抓着马的缰绳,被人趴在地上拖着走。
