新概念英语第三册第三十三课作文 The confusion
A man, who was loaded with parcels, went to the parking lot looking for his car. He had just done the shopping for his fiancee, for the Valentine's Day was drawing near. Tired and anxious to move fast, he suddenly forgot where he had just parked his dear car. All of a sudden, he saw one exactly like it. He thought it was bound to be his. He arrived fast and tried his key. It didn't work. He lost his temper and forced the lock. Worse still, he broke the key. \"What a day!\" he thought. But this marked the prelude to an unforeseen series of catastrophes.
He dropped the parcels and made them a tremendous mess. Infuriated, he deliberately broke the window of the car and went in. Precisely at that moment the owner of that car heard the alarm and went to the spot with a policeman. After that the man was arrested, realizing what a mistake he had made. He tried to explain that he was innocent and that he was just on an impulse, but it didn't work. He was asked to pay the damages. Soon afterwards, he was out of jail.
As if this were not enough to reduce him to tears, his fiancee waited for him all day and went away forever.

一个左一个包右一个袋的人走到停车场找他的车。他刚为自己的未婚妻购完物,因为情人节就快要到了。他十分累,心里想着快些回家休息,但他突然忘记他把车停在哪儿了。山重水复疑无路,柳暗花明又一村,正当他愁苦时突然看到一辆车像极了他那辆,就像一个模子刻的。他想这一定是他的车,谢天谢地终于找到车了。他迅速跑到
车旁,掏出钥匙开锁。但锁没有反应。他发了脾气,试着用暴力开锁。更糟糕的事情发生了,他的车钥匙仅仅是一系列突发灾难的开端。
他一时急躁,把大包小包给掉在了地上,瞬间一团糟。他更恼火了,故意砸破那辆车的窗子,钻进车。恰巧的是,就在这时车主听见了汽车报警声,一位警察随同他来到现场。这个人被捕了,看了车牌才意识到他犯下了多大的错误。他试图解释自己是出于一时冲动,是无罪的,但这并不奏效。他被要求支付赔偿金。不久之后,他终于出狱了。
这似乎不足以让那个人落泪,他的未婚妻等了他一整天,然后决定永远离他而去。
