火災(zāi)(The Fire)
There was a big fire in one office building in our neighborhood at about nine4 o'clock last night. Many firemen and fire engines came. In the beginning, we saw flames with thick black smoke coming out from the sixth floor; and we also heard the explosion of the gas tank mixed with the noisy sounds from shattering windows. Soon the fire spread one by one to the floors above, and finally reach the top floor. Some aluminum window frames and some brick walls meted and collapsed from the heat. Many people like myself stood outside on the streets watching the fire in horror as we heard the sirens and gas explosions. Luckily there was no one in that office building when the fire broke out. The fire-men were unable to control the fire until the top floor was burned out; it took about one and a half hours for the firemen to put out the big fire. The next morning newspapers carried the story and pictures of the fire.
【參考譯文】
昨天晚上九點(diǎn)左右，在我們附近的一幢辦公大樓里發(fā)生了一場(chǎng)大火。許多消防隊(duì)員和消防車(chē)來(lái)了。一開(kāi)始，我們看到第六層樓冒出濃濃的黑煙，我們還聽(tīng)到了煤氣罐爆炸聲和打碎窗戶的嘈雜聲的混合聲。很快火勢(shì)就蔓延到樓上的樓層，最后到達(dá)頂樓。一些鋁合金窗框與磚墻倒塌后，從熱。許多像我這樣的人站在街上，驚恐地看著大火，聽(tīng)到警笛聲和煤氣爆炸聲。幸好火災(zāi)發(fā)生時(shí)，那個(gè)辦公樓里沒(méi)有人。消防隊(duì)員直到頂層被燒毀，才得以控制火勢(shì);消防隊(duì)員花了大約一個(gè)半小時(shí)才撲滅大火。第二天早晨，報(bào)紙刊登了火災(zāi)的故事和照片。
