BBC环球慢速英语 第477期:交通事故(8)
At four o-clock in the morning, the wedding party ended. My family was worried about Balazs' desire to drive home. I was also worried. I suggested that he stay at my apartment, or rent a room at the hotel. But instead Balazs' older brother followed him as Balazs drove his car home.
婚礼派对在凌晨4点结束。我家人对巴拉兹想自己开车回家的决定感到非常担心。我也很担心。我建议他在我的公寓留宿,或是在酒店开个房间。但是巴拉兹还是自己开车回家了,而巴拉兹的哥哥则在跟在后面保护他。
Balazs arrived home safely. But shortly after that, his girlfriend invited him to another party. Balazs got in his car and raced to the party. As he crossed over a small bridge, he crashed into a stone barrier. He was travelling at one hundred forty kilometres per hour. The speed limit was only fifty kilometres per hour.
巴拉兹安全到家了。但不久之后,他女朋友邀请他去参加另一个派对。巴拉兹坐进车里,赶往派对现场。在他穿过一座小桥时,他撞上了一个石盾。他当时的车速是140公里每小时。而那个路段的限速是50公里每小时。
Emergency care soon arrived but it was clear that Balazs had died immediately. His body was buried a few days later... Balazs' mother was affected the most. She had an emotional breakdown. She went to a psychiatric hospital - a hospital for people with mental sicknesses. Still today, she needs help to deal with the loss of her son. She visits Balazs' burial place every day.
急救服务很快就抵达了现场,但很明显,巴拉兹是当场死亡的。几天之后,巴拉兹下葬。巴拉兹的母亲受到的冲击最大。她出现了情绪崩溃。她前往一家精神病医院寻求帮助,这类医院会治疗有精神疾病的患者。时至今日,她在应对失去儿子的痛苦时仍需要他人的帮助。她每天都要去巴拉兹的墓地。
