Man Survives Two Crashes!

Hi, kids. Today, I have a crazy story to tell you! It might seem like a movie, but it's a true story! This is about a pilot in California. In January this year, he took off. But while he was flying his plane, he had a problem. A big problem! His plane crashed! 今年一月份有一位加州的飛行員開著飛機，結果飛機意外墜機了！ But he had another very big problem: The pilot crashed right onto some train tracks. And there was a train coming right at him! 他受傷不嚴重，但是飛機墜毀在火車軌道上，而火車就要來了。 Luckily there were some police near where the pilot crashed his plane. 幸好附近有警察，立刻趕來幫忙。 They pulled the pilot out of his plane. They pulled him out just before the train hit the plane! 就在火車撞上飛機之前，警察把飛行員拖出來了。 He was taken to the hospital. But he only had some cuts and bruises, and he was bleeding. That guy was so lucky! 他被送到醫院，他身上只有一些割傷跟瘀青。 But he was basically OK. Wow! He could have been killed when his plane crashed. And he would have been killed if that train hit him! 他有可能死在墜機的時候，或是被火車撞上就必死無疑。 They should make a movie about this lucky guy. I would go see it. It would be so exciting! ________________________________ Vocabulary 這個人實在太幸運，墜機沒有要了他的命，火車也沒有。 1. movie 電影 This guy's story is better than a movie! 這個人的故事比電影還精采！ And movies are fake, but this is real. 而且電影都是假的，這個卻是真的。 2. plane 飛機 Why did the plane go down? 那架飛機為什麼掉下來？ Maybe it lost power. 也許它失去了動力。 Or maybe it hit a bird. 也許它撞上了鳥。 3. crash 碰撞 A plane crash can kill many people. 飛機墜毀可以奪走很多條人命。 Oh yes, it's much worse than a car crash. 是的，比撞車多很多。 4. pull 拖拉 Would you pull me up? 你可以拉我起來嗎？ I'm so tired. 我好累。 You lazybones. 你這個懶骨頭。 Thank you! 謝謝！ Now let's read today's vocabulary. movie 電影 plane 飛機 crash 碰撞 pull 拖拉 ________________________________ Quiz 1.
