令人惊奇的旅行目的
back to sleep before my eye catches my packed suitcase and I groan, remembering that Im going
series of running and waiting, and after countless hours, finally getting there.
1 早晨四点一刻，闹钟把我从美梦中惊醒，要不是突然看见早已收拾好的行李箱，我几乎又要
睡着。想起来还要去机场，我叹了口气。 出租车来晚了，并且在途中迷了路，我越来越担
心会赶不上飞机。 出租车一到机场我就冲进去，跌跌撞撞通过安检处，终于，我来到了登
机口。 经历这一早所有的麻烦事，我乘坐的航班却被取消了。在接下来的 218 分钟里，
我被困在了机场，唯一觉得安慰的是机场提供的一杯免费咖啡。 这就是旅行，让人心烦的
跑跑停停。最终，在不知经过多少小时之后，终于到达要去的地方。
1 Its 4:15 in the morning, and my alarm clock has just stolen away a lovely dream. (Para. 1)
Meaning: Its 4:15 in the morning and my alarm clock has just woken me up from a lovely dream.
Note: In Paragraph 1, present tenses are used to describe a scene which is not actually happening and
to make the imaginary scene seem more immediate and more real.
2 I run in when we arrive, stagger through security and finally get to my gate. (Para.1)
Meaning: I run in after we arrive, walk unsteadily through security and get to the place where I should get
on the plane.
Note: The word gate here means the place at the airport where people get on a plane.
3 … Im stuck in this terminal for the next 218 minutes, and my only consolation is a cup of
complimentary airport coffee. (Para. 1)
Meaning: … I am trapped in this terminal for the next 218 minutes and my only comfort is a free cup of
coffee offered by the airport.
Note: The author used 218 minutes instead of 3 hours and 38 minutes in order to emphasize the trouble
of waiting for a long time.
4 This is traveling, a burdensome series of running and waiting, and after countless hours, finally
getting there. (Para. 1)
Meaning: Traveling means we have to spend countless hours running and waiting before we finally get
to the destination, which is quite troublesome.
