Dictation(听写)
At 9:03 I arrive home to find my wife, Katina, staringin shock at the television. Another plane has just gone into the south tower.The second crash leaves no doubt that we have been attacked, so many thoughtsbegin to flow through my mind. This is no accident. As every American must bedoing at this moment, I wonder: Who would do this? This is not as simple an actas parking a truck loaded with 7000 pounds of fertilizing chemicals in front ofa federal building in Oklahoma City. No, this could only have been the resultof the carefully plotted efforts of a group, and it would have to have beensupported by a government or some organization with very big money. And peoplewould have to have been willing to effect their own deaths. But where are theyfrom? Just one place that I know of. Only the terrorists of the Middle Eastwould do this. They had tried before, in February 1993, and now they have comeback to try again.

有时，倒霉的事儿似乎会到处跟随着你。

就举不久前我所遭遇到的事为例吧。

一天我开车去附近一座城市出差，在一个十字路口，见到红灯亮起我便将车停了下来。

可是，突然一辆黑色的别克车从后面向我的车子撞过来。

我受了点伤。

万分忿怒之下我咒骂着下了车，可却发现那车的女驾驶员像是被撞得不省人事了，她那坐在车后的小孩也受伤了。

我只好在口袋中摸找手机报了警。

几分钟后一辆警车开来，急忙将女士和小孩送往医院。

而我却被告知要待在原处。

事实上，尽管我对这事毫无责任，我在两小时后方得以离开现场。

回到家，精神力气好像一点儿都没有了。

至于出差的事么，我只好取消了。

为此，我的工作也受到很大损失。

至今，我仍搞不明白这车祸到底是怎么回事。

Sometimes bad luck seems to follow you everywhere.Take, for instance, what happened to me not long ago. One day I drove to anearby city on business. At a junction I pulled the car to a halt as the redlight was on; however, a black Buick suddenly collided into my car from behind.I was slightly injured. Wild with anger I cursed and got out only to find thatthe woman driver of the other car appeared to have been knocked unconscious andher young child, who was sitting in the rear of the car, was hurt, too. I hadto fumble in my pockets for my mobile phone and call the police. In a fewminutes a police car came and rushed the lady and her child to hospital. I was,however, asked to stay where I was. In fact, I didn't leave the scene until twohours later although I was not to blame at all. By the time I got home all myenergy seemed to have deserted me. As to the business trip, I had to cancel it.As a result, my work suffered enormously. Up to now, I still can't make senseof the accident.
