His son, Donald Campbell, carried on the family tradition by holding both land speed and water speed records. 1933年50岁高龄的赛车手malcolmcampbell，驾驶一辆装有v12涡轮增压发动机的“蓝鸟号”劳斯莱斯，成为地面上时速超过300英里的第一人。 Sir Malcolm Campbell 传说中，蓝鸟(Bluebird)可以带来幸福与祥和。于是当达特桑(Datsun)汽车公司在1959年将一款全新设计的家庭轿车推向市场时，他们把新车命名为“蓝鸟”，以寄托为更多家庭送去幸福的美好心愿。在战后经济复苏的日本，蓝鸟很快成为市场上热销车型之一，日后，日产蓝鸟和丰田的光冠、花冠系列一样，成为日本汽车进军美国市场的主力军，蓝鸟因此也成为了日产历史上生产周期最长、累计生产数量最多的车型系列。蓝鸟轿车被日产汽车公司称之为“历史之久、生产数量之多、技术之先进、可靠性之高，从任何方面而言，是一直领先于其它日产车。” 1）racing n.竞赛a racing car赛车a racing yacht赛艇race n.run a race with sb.同某人赛跑race against/with sb/sth.与......竞赛/赛跑a race against time和时间赛跑v.进行速度竞赛Ill race you to school.我们赛跑到学校急速移动The patient has to be raced to hospital.病人得急速送往医院。n.种族，人种people of mixed race 混血种的人 2）to引导的不定式短语为the first man的定语。类似的可用于这种句型的词语有the second，the next/the last以及表示最高级的如the best，the most beautiful等。这些词语后面可以接名词或one（s），也可以不接。Shes always the first to arrive and the last to leave.她总是第一个来到，最后一个离开。Youre the best person to advise me about buying a house.你是我买房子的最好的顾问。the only后必须接一个名词或one（s）Youre the only person /one to complain.你是唯一抱怨的人。 3）per表示“每一”，“每”通常用于商业及技术用语，日常用语大多用a/anYou can stay at the hotel at 10 dollars per person per night你们可以每人每晚花10美金住这家旅馆。 4)30 feet in length 30英尺长?? 30 feet in width30英尺宽?? 30 feet in height 30英尺高 5）He had great difficulty in controlling the car because a tyre burst during the first run...他很难把汽车控制住，因为在开始的行程中爆了一只轮胎。difficulty难，困难时为不可数名词，表示某事有困难时可以用have difficulty in doing sth 结构。in通常可省略I have difficulty in learning English.Gary has grown a beard and I had difficulty (in) recognizing him.加里蓄胡子，我很难认出他来。 6）burstvi.爆炸，爆裂A tyre burst
