Unit 2 Parachuting Problem

第二單元跳傘問(wèn)題

As the helicopter hovered in mid air, Shannon strapped on her parachute. Her crew was sent to put out a fire that had spread over 200 miles. There were no roads to reach the fire, so the firefighters were arriving by helicopter. She waited for her turn and then jumped.

直升機(jī)盤(pán)旋在半空中時(shí)，香農(nóng)綁好了她的降落傘。她那一隊(duì)組員要被派往撲滅已綿延兩百英里以上的火勢(shì)。由于火災(zāi)地點(diǎn)沒(méi)有道路可以抵達(dá)，消防隊(duì)員便坐直升機(jī)前來(lái)。等輪到她跳傘時(shí)，她便一躍而下。

Because this was Shannon's eighth year and she had experience jumping out of helicopters, she was not particularly nervous. But when her chord jammed and her chute didn't open, Shannon panicked. To make matters worse, she was heading straight for the heart of the fire.

香農(nóng)已經(jīng)工作了八年，過(guò)去又有從直升機(jī)上跳傘的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，所以并沒(méi)有特別緊張。不過(guò)當(dāng)她的傘帶卡住，降落傘打不開(kāi)時(shí)，香農(nóng)慌了起來(lái)；更糟的是，她正往起火中心落下。

She was falling fast, if she did not get her chute open soon she was going to die. Just then, below her, she saw the man who had jumped out of the helicopter before her.

她往下墜的速度很快，如果降落傘不快點(diǎn)打開(kāi)，她便要一命嗚呼了。就在那時(shí)，她看到在她前面跳下直升機(jī)的那個(gè)人就在她正下方。

She knew if she wanted to live she was going to have to grab onto him and she could float down with him.

她知道如果自己想活命就得抓住他，然后和他一起用降落傘飄下去。

She was quickly getting closer and closer. She positioned herself and she grabbed onto his leg. The man was shocked, but pulled Shannon up and together they landed safely on the ground.

很快，她越靠越近，調(diào)整最適當(dāng)?shù)奈恢煤笠话炎プ∷耐取Ｄ莻€(gè)人嚇了一跳，接著拉起香農(nóng)，和她一起平安著陸。
