复习笔记之-The Hitchhiker 1

The Hitchhiker 搭便车客

The Hitchhiker是选自成寒的一本书附录的广播剧。时间太老，对音质实在是无语。因为手误，台版和简体中文都买了。结果内容基本没什么两样。。。全长23分钟左右，共19章。听了有六遍，出笔记。是一个惊悚的灵异小故事，一个年轻人离家驱车在目的地的路上，一直被一个恶魔般的人如影随形，最后被这个搭车客弄得要精神混乱，打电话回家被告知自己已经死亡，母亲住院。随后发现自己在茫茫的公路上不知去向的故事。大部分的填空都做了出来，没做出的生词算是一部分，另一部分就是音效的杂音实在是后面也不想再听。不过这个广播剧做的还是比较棒的，很有气氛。

I'm in an auto camp on Route 66 just west of Gallup，New Mexico.(auto camp汽车营区，Route 66又称Highway 66，在新墨西哥州盖洛普的西边。几乎横跨美国东西两岸的公路，长达2400英里，在1920-60年代，没有高速公路以前，是美国人主要的旅行要道。挺有名的。另外常见的是Highway 1，美国加州沿着海岸的一条高速公路，不过晚上就不要出来了，很不安全。）

Six days ago I left Brooklyn to drive to California .(注意介词to，下个月要集中时间过语法了。布鲁克林离纽约很近，是它的卫星城市。或者说纽约的布鲁克林区。)

I do hate to see you go.

I'll only be on the coast 3 months.(加利福尼亚州位于美国“西岸 west coast）

Promise me, you'll be extra careful. ----You'd think I'm still 17,to hear you talk.

Wire me as soon as you get to Hollywood, wont you ,son?（那个时代还没有手机，电脑，电话也是转接。所以电报还是有用的）

I wish you weren't driving.依旧是假设语气，实际上儿子已经决定自己开车去，这个行为不会改变

There you go again.又来了

It's just 8 days of perfectly simple driving on smooth ，decent， civilized roads with a hot dog or a hamburger stand every ten miles.

I was in fine spirits (复数）-drive ahead of me, even the loneliness seemed like a lark. But I reckoned without him.(寂寞也像云雀般嬉戏lark 云雀。但他不在我预料之中）

Crossing Brooklyn Bridge that morning in the rain，I saw a man leaning against the cables.(其实主人公在这里就已经出车祸死亡了。但是他不知道。cable 钢索，纽约布鲁克林大桥两侧是一根根钢索构建的）

There were spots of fresh rain on his shoulders.

a cheap ，overnight bag旅行包

He was thin ,nondescript with a cap pulled down over his eyes.（人很瘦，长相平凡，nondescript 无明显特征的）

Not a drop of rain all week.

I suppose that hasn't done your business any harm.

There aren't any pleasure cars out on the turnpike like this season of the year.

A guy'd be a fool who started out to hitch rides on this road.

the toll-house 收费站

It'd be a mighty long ride .Most cars wouldn't want to pick up a guy for that long a ride. This is pretty lonesome country here, mountains and woods.这是一条漫长的旅程。人烟罕至的地带

It's just a technical question.只是随便问问

Zanesville ，Ohio 俄亥俄州的曾斯维尔
