33 A day to remember

We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong.

我们大家都有过事事不顺心的日子。

A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control.

一天开始时,可能还不错,但突然间似乎一切都失去了控制。

What invariably happens is that a great number of things choose to go wrong at precisely the same moment.

情况经常是这样的,许许多多的事情都偏偏赶在同一时刻出问题。

It is as if a single unimportant event set up a chain of reactions.

好像是一件无关紧要的小事引起了一连串的连锁反应。

Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time.

假设你在做饭，同时又在照看孩子。

The telephone rings and this marks the prelude to an unforeseen series of catastrophes.

这时电话铃响了,它预示着一连串意想不到的灾难的来临。
