In Australia, a driver was at a petrol station[加油站]. When he walked away from his car to pay, a person got into his car and tried to drive off.
The driver wanted to stop the thief, so he launched[发射]himself feet first through the passenger side window. He did a ninja[忍者]jump!
The jump scared the thief and he ran away.He is now wanted[受通缉的]by the police.
这一幕发生在澳洲,一司机开车到加油站。当他下车去结账时,盗贼潜入车内,企图将车开走。
为了阻止盗贼,车主一个飞身,双脚从侧窗冲入车内。这简直就是现实版的“忍者跳”!
惊世一跳吓得盗贼仓皇而逃。目前,警方正在通缉他。
Paul Jacobs, 42, bought the protective[保护的]wrap[薄膜]to cover a plant during the winter and couldn’t believe his eyes when it turned up[出现]on his doorstep[门阶].
Paul said: “At fi rst I thought they’d sent me the wrong order because the box was so heavy. But when I opened it, I realised why it weighed so much—my roll[卷]was wrapped in sheet[片,张]upon sheet of brown paper. I laid[铺开]it all out and it measured[长度为]100ft, which was the same length[长度]as my bubble[气泡]wrap. It almost covered my entire lawn[草坪].”
为了防止植物在冬天冻伤,42岁的保罗·雅各布买了卷保护膜。当保护膜出现在他家门口时,他简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。
保罗说:“一开始我还以为卖家发错货了,因为包裹特别沉。但拆开包裹后,我明白了它为什么这么重——我买的薄膜卷被牛皮纸里三层外三层地裹着。我把牛皮纸铺开一量,足有100英尺(约30米)!和我买的气泡膜一样长了,几乎能把我家整个草坪给盖住。”
The KLM passenger jet[喷气式飞机]was filmed soaring[翱翔的]into the air on a cloudy day at Amsterdam[阿姆斯特丹,荷兰首都]Schiphol Airport.
But, as the plane started to travel into the thick clouds there was a sudden bright fl ash[闪光]of light. The huge bolt[闪电]appeared to hit the nose of the aircraft before passing through the body of the jet and coming out of the wing.
This scene may terrify[吓到]some nervous passenger, but aircraft are actually designed to withstand[抵挡]strikes[攻击].
And it happens far more often than you might think. It is estimated[估算]that on average, every airplane in the US commercial[商业的]fl eet[机群]is hit by lightning about once every year.
影像中,天气阴沉,一架荷兰皇家航空客机正从阿姆斯特丹史基浦机场向天空呼啸而去。
但是,正当客机准备进入厚厚的云层时,一道巨大的闪电突然劈了下来,似乎正中机头,随后经由机身从机翼离开。
胆小的乘客或许会被这一幕吓到,但其实飞机是能经受住这种冲击的。
而且,飞机遭遇雷击的概率比你想象中高多了。据估计,美国民航的每架飞机平均每年都会遭遇一次雷击。
Three New Jersey teens known as the “Rahway Bushmen[丛林人]”have been tricking[整蛊]people in Rahway River Park.
Two of the high school students dress up as bushes while a third acts as lookout[望风者]. They stand in the park and say “hi” to unsuspecting[不知情的]visitors.
“We were trying to be harmless[无恶意的],” one of the teens told the website. “It’s more or less[或多或少]an idea to try to make people smile.”
It’s great until the fi rst person falls and sues[向……提起诉讼]the county. The teens will be arrested[逮捕]if they’re caught in the act.
在美国新泽西州有三名号称“拉威丛林人”的青年在拉威河公园整蛊路人。
其中两名高中生打扮成灌木丛模样,剩下一人去望风。他们站在公园里,当有人经过时,他们会冷不丁地冒出一句“你好”。
其中一名男孩在网上说:“我们并没有想要伤害别人,我们只不过是想要逗路人开心。”
这是个不错的想法,直到有一位路人被吓得摔了一跤,并向县里提出了起诉。若他们被发现还在整蛊路人,将会被逮捕。
One man reached his goal of riding his favorite Disneyland ride[游乐设施]10,000 times. It seems a bit crazy, but there is a story behind this.
Hale weighed 405 pounds several years ago and suffered[遭受]great pain in his knees. When he went to Disneyland, he couldn’t go on any rides. After losing 150 pounds, he got his knees replaced[替换].
He went to Disneyland again and discovered Radiator Springs, just after it opened. He could sit comfortably and enjoy a thrilling[激动人心的]ride. The fi rst day he rode the ride seven times. And he recently reached his personal goal of 10,000 times. By the time you read this, he will have ridden even more.
Hale and the Disneyland crews[工作人员]have been good friends. “I don’t think I’m crazy,” Hale said. “I love this ride, and I love the cast[演员阵容]members.”
一男子解锁了人生新成就——乘坐自己最爱的迪士尼骑乘项目达一万次。这看似疯狂的行为背后,其实有着一段不为人知的故事。
男子名叫黑尔,几年前他的体重有405磅(约370斤),他的膝盖也有问题,时常疼痛难忍。于是当他来到迪士尼乐园的时候,根本无法乘坐任何一个项目。在减掉150磅(约136斤)后,他做了膝盖替换手术。
黑尔再次来到迪士尼乐园,发现了园区刚刚开放的“汽车总动员”主题项目。他可以舒舒服服地坐在车上,享受一段惊险之旅。第一天他就坐了七次。最近他达成了乘坐“汽车总动员”一万次的目标。当你读到这篇报道时,他乘坐的次数会更多。
黑尔和迪士尼的工作人员成了好朋友。他说:“我不认为这很疯狂。我喜欢玩这个项目,我也喜欢这里的工作人员。”
