2010-07-09来源:和谐英语

  A farm worker, Mick Wilary (see photo), is thought to be one of Britain’s most accidentprone men after suffering more than 30 serious injuries, including 15 broken bones, the Daily Telegraph reported recently. In his latest mishap both legs were crushed by a mechanical digger last month. It follows breaks to both ankles after he fell over a potato, and cracking his head open by tripping over a cat.

  农场工人米克·维拉里可谓是英国最容易出事儿的人之一,他受过30余次重伤,其中15次为骨折。他最近一次遭遇不幸是在上个月,双腿被机械挖掘机压断。此前,他曾被土豆绊倒,双脚脚踝骨折;被猫绊倒,撞破了头。

   His catalogue of catastrophes started when he was a youngster growing up on a farm inCounty Durham. Since then he has broken his collarbone, cracked his ribs, broken both his ankles, stabbed himself while whittling a stick and cut off the end of his finger with a Stanley knife.

  当他还是个(英国东北部)达勒姆郡农场的小男孩时,接二连三的噩运就降临到他的头上。从那时起,他先后摔断(裂)过锁骨、肋骨和双脚脚踝,削棍子时刺伤过自己,还被斯坦利木工刀割掉了一只手指指尖。
