深圳豪车撞的士事件。原网站有图和图片解释。
A horrible accident in the city of Shenzhen in Guangdong Province on the early morning of May 26. A Nissan GT-R crashed with two taxi’s, one patrol-powered Volkswagen Santana and one electric BYD e6. The BYD e6 bursted into flames, killing two female passengers and the driver. The driver and passenger of the Santana were slightly wounded and were taken to a hospital.

The driver and passenger of the Nissan GT-R fled the scene but later turned themselves in, both were drunk and involved in a drag race with a BMW when the accident happened. Why the e6 burned like it did is yet very uncertain, police is investigating what exactly happened. Still, investors are extremely worried about implications for BYD’s electric vehicle sales and sent stock down with almost 9% this Monday morning. The stock has since recovered but was still down 2.53% when the Chinese stock market closed 20 minutes ago.

下面画线部分单词个人认为值得了解。解释在6楼:

周末回娘家,检查家里孩子们的学习知识,发现一年级的英语课本知识水平相当于我们那时候初中的水平了。就凭我们现在的英语水平,没几年,都被孩子们笑话了。得活到老,学到老才不落伍啊!

一年级就有英语?是贵族学校吧,在梅州二年级都还没有英语。

的确是“浮躁容易,静心很难”啊!俺苦恼了很久,期待在慢慢的学习路上,把浮躁的心给静下来吧

我自己看这些报道,也是懂就看,不懂就查,现在就欠静下心来记在心里了。加油!

1. horrible: ['hɔrəbl] adj. 可怕的, 令人恐惧的;极不友好的, 令人很不愉快的; 极讨厌的

2. on the early morning of May 26: 这值得注意的是,一般说“在早上”是in the morning;具体指某天,用on,如 on May 26. 具体指某天上午,同样是用on ,因而会出现 on the early morning of May 26这种用法

3. crash:[kræʃ] vt. & vi. (使)猛撞, (使)撞毁

4. taxi: ['tæksi] 我们俗称“的士”就是从英文音译过来的。Also“taxi-cab” (American) cab (也称“taxi-cab”,美国称“cab” [kæb]。
前文是two,后名词应用复数,此处用taxi’s 觉得不对,google一搜“taxi plural”(的士复数),可查得taxi (plural taxis or taxies) 即可用 taxis 或 taxies

5. patrol-powered 应该译为“燃油驱动”,暂没想到最精确的用词了。

6. Volkswagen:  大众 (汽车品牌)

7. electric [i'lektrik] adj. 电动的

8. burst into flames:突然着起火来。Burst into突然进入(某种状态), 如 burst into tears 突然哭起来

9. female ['fi:meil] adj. 女性的,相对的男性是male 。 附“外籍人士发现驾照雌雄同体很尴尬 翻译不专业贻笑大方(图)”   http://money.591hx.com/article/2012-04-11/0000139373s.shtml

10 fled the scene 逃离现场。Fled是flee [fli:]的过去式;scene [si:n] 现场

11. turn themselves in 自首

12. drunk [drʌŋk] adj. 喝醉的,由动词drink演变来

13. be involved in:与...有关

14. drag race: 〈美俚〉短程加速赛车。估计这里想表达的是“飙车”吧

15. investigate  [in'vestiɡeit] vt. 调查

16. extremely adv.非常地

17. vehicle ['vi:ɪkl] 车辆

18. recover [ri'kʌvə] 恢复

19. stock market股票市场
