2016年12月英语四级(第2套)听力真题 长对话(2)

W: This is Kerry Burke from New York Daily News. I’m speaking to Delroy Simmonds, an unemployed Brooklyn man who missed a job interview Tuesday for the best of reasons: He was saving the life of a 9-month-old boy who was blown into the path of an oncoming subway train by a high wind.

女:我是《纽约每日新闻》的Kerry Burke。我正在采访Delroy Simmonds,布鲁克林的一位失业男士,他周二因为一个极佳的理由错过了一场面试:他当时正在救一个因为大风被吹到铁路上的9个月大男婴,当时正有火车驶来。

M: Everybody is making me out to be some sort of superhero. I’m just an ordinary person, and a father of two. Anybody in that situation would have done what I did.

男:大家都在说我好像是超级英雄。我只是一个普通的人,两个孩子的父亲。任何人在我当时的处境下都会那么做的。

W: You were going to an interview when the incident occurred, right?

女:事情发生的时候,你正要去一个面试对吧?

M: Yes, I was on my way to apply for a maintenance position. I’ve been looking for a job for a year and more. I’m looking for something to support my family.

男:是的,我正要去竞聘一个维修师的职位。我已经找工作找了一年多了。我正在找点儿事情做,养家糊口。

W: Tell us what happened at the station.

女:给我们讲讲当时在车站的情形吧。

M: There was a strong wind. It had to be 30 to 40 miles an hour. There was a woman with four kids. One was in a pushchair. The wind blew the baby onto the tracks.

男:当时挂着很大的风。得有时速30-40英里。有一位女士带着四个孩子。其中一个还在推车里。大风把孩子刮到了铁路上。

W: Witnesses said people were looking on in horror as the child’s mother, identified by sources as Maria Zamara, stood frozen in shock. In the distance, people could see the train rounding a bend, headed into the station. I guess you were not aware of any of these, right?

女:目击者称周围的人都一脸惊恐,而孩子的母亲Maria Zamara当时都被吓傻了。不远处,火车就在拐角的地方驶入站台。我猜你当时压根儿没注意到这些事情吧?

M: No. I just jumped down and grabbed the baby. The train was coming around the corner as I lifted the baby from the tracks. I really wasn’t thinking.

男:没有。我跳下去,抓住孩子。我把孩子抓起来的时候火车正在拐弯。我当时真没多想。

W: What an amazing story. Thank you very much.

女:真是个惊人的故事。非常感谢你。
