  Ski Lessons 滑雪课

  Between my first and second ski lessons, I was practicing on the beginners' slope at Mammoth Mountain in California. I began to pick up speed, and suddenly I realized I had forgotten how to stop. That same moment, I saw a young couple standing motionless directly in my path. "Look out! Get out of my way!" I yelled.
  我刚开始上滑雪课时，在加利福利亚猛犸山的初学者坡道上进行练习。我逐渐开始加速，但我突然意识到忘了该怎么停下来时。就在这时，我看到一对年轻夫妇一动不动地挡在我的路上。"当心!让开!"我喊道。

  They did not heed my warning, and a moment later the three of us were up to our ears in snow. As we were untangling poles and recovering skis, I apologized, explaining that I did not know how to stop.
  他们根本没有听到我的警告，顷刻之间，我们三人都被埋在了雪里。我们抽出扭在一起的滑雪杆，找回滑雪板。我连忙道歉，解释说我不知道如何停下来。

  "That's okay, ma'am," said the young man. "We didn't know how to move."
  "没关系，女士，"那名男子说，"我们不知道该怎样滑动。"
