Notes:
1. A snail crossing the road was run over by a turtle.
一只正在過馬路的蝸牛被一只烏龜碾過。
2. Later at the hospital he regained consciousness and was asked what happened.

“失去意識”用lose consciousness,表達(dá)“恢復(fù)意識”的動詞可以用recover或regain。
3. "It happened so fast I can’t remember," the snail replied.
蝸牛因“發(fā)生得大快.我不記得了。”
fast的后面省略了一個that,這個句型已在前面出現(xiàn)多次,即“so...(that)...”(如此······以致于······)。
