第23單元 從加州到墨西哥
Frank waved goodbye to all his friends there to wish him off. He jumped on his bike and started to pedal. First he would pedal to the end of his block and then to the outskirt of town and then right out of the state of California.
法蘭克向前來祝他好運(yùn)的朋友們揮手道別。他跳上腳踏車，踩著踏板開始出發(fā)。他要先騎到街尾再騎到市郊，然后直接騎出加州市。
Frank was riding his bike all the way along the coast to Mexico. The first day of his trip was good. The weather was nice and there were few hills. In fact, his first week was good, with the exception of a flat tire and mild sunburn.
法蘭克打算沿著海岸一路騎著腳踏車到墨西哥。第一天行程還算順利，天氣很棒，斜坡也不多。事實(shí)上，除了爆胎和輕微的曬傷外，第一周情況算是不錯(cuò)。
Halfway into his second week, Frank began to feel tired. A storm was coming. There was nowhere for him to stop for miles. He kept pedaling even though his legs were sore and tired. Then it began to rain a heavy, cold rain.
但是第二周過了一半時(shí)，法蘭克開始覺得累了。而且出現(xiàn)了一場(chǎng)暴風(fēng)雨;放眼望去，好幾英里內(nèi)都沒有地方可以讓他停下來躲避，盡管他的腿又痛又累，也只好不停地踩著腳踏車。
Frank could hardly see. His breath was getting short, his chest hurt. He had to keep going.Frank drove all through the night. By morning the storm had quit and the sun was out as Frank arrived at the Mexican border, tired and sore.
接著天空開始下起又大又冷的雨，讓法拉克幾乎看不到東西。他的呼吸越來越短促，胸口也開始疼痛，但仍需不斷往前才行。法蘭克整晚不停地騎，到了早上，暴風(fēng)雨終于平息，太陽也出來了，這時(shí)全身疲累又酸痛的法蘭克也騎到了墨西哥邊境。
He had made it. He had biked all the way to Mexico!
他總算成功了，終于騎著腳踏車一路抵達(dá)了墨西哥!
