新目标英语八年级下册Unit3 翻译Do you remember what you were doing?
Do you remember what you were doing ?
People often remember what they were doing when they heard the news of important events in history. In the United States, for example, many people remember what they were doing on April 4,1968. This was one of the most important events in modern American history. On this day, Dr Martin Luther King was killed in the city of Memphis in America. Although some people may not remember who murdered him, they remember what they were doing when they heard about the event.
Even the most everyday activities can seem important. Robert Allen is now over 40. He was just a student at that time, but he remembers what he was doing when he heard the news. “It was a bright, sunny d ay.” Robert remembers. “We were having fun in the playground when the bell rang. Our teacher asked us to stop what we were doing and listen. He told us the news: …Dr Martin Luther King died just 10 minutes ago!‟ We couldn‟t believe it!” School closed for t he day, and Robert and his friends walked home together in silence.
Dr Martin Luther King‟ s murder took place about thirty years ago, before many Americans were born. However, in more recent times, most Americans remember what they were doing when the Wo rld Trade Center in New York was destroyed by terrorists. Even the date----September 11, 2001----has meaning to most Americans.
Not all events in history are as terrible as this, of course. Many Americana also say they remember what they were doing when man first walked on the moon on July 20,1969. In more recent history, most Chinese remember what they were doing when Yang Liwei became the first Chinese astronaut in space. Yang went into space on October 15, 2003. His flight around the Earth lasted about 22 hours. When he returned, he became a national hero in China, and became famous all over the world.
你记得你曾经在做什么吗？
当人们得知一个很重要的事件在历史上发生时，他们常常记得他们在那时在正在做什么，举例来说，在美国，很多人记得在1968年4月4日那天他们正在做什么，在当代美国历史上，这是非常重要的一天。

我们的老师要求我们停下来听他说，于是，他告诉我们了这则新闻马丁·路德·金在10分钟以前去世了！我们不敢相信这是真的！”学校为这一天关闭了，罗勃特和他的朋友们一起沉默的走回家。
