He set up a new world record in September 1935 at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah. Bluebird, the car he was driving, had been specially built for him. It was over 30 feet in length and had a 2,500-horsepower engine. Although Campbell reached a speed of over 304 miles per hour, he had great difficulty in controlling the car because a tyre burst during the first run. After his attempt, Campbell was disappointed to learn that his average speed had been 299 miles per hour. However, a few days later, he was told that a mistake had been made. His average speed had been 301 miles per hour. Since that time, racing drivers have reached speeds over 600 miles an hour. Following in his father's footsteps many years later, Sir Malcolm's son, Donald, also set up a world record. Like his father, he was driving a car called Bluebird. 中文理解：杰出的赛车手马尔科姆·坎贝尔爵士是第一个把车开上300英里每小时的人。他于1935年9月在犹他州的邦纳维尔盐滩创造了一项新的世界纪录。他驾驶的 “蓝鸟”赛车是为他量身定制。它的车身长三十多英尺，有一个2,500马力的发动机。尽管坎贝尔达到了每小时超过 304英里的速度，但他很难把赛车控制住，因为在首轮驾驶中爆了一只轮胎。挑战结束后，坎贝尔非常失望地得知他的平均时速是299英里。然而，几天之后，有人告诉他说弄错了。 他的平均时速实际是 301英里。从那以来，赛车手已达到每小时超过六百英里的速度。很多年之后，马尔科姆爵士的儿子唐纳德踏着父亲的足迹，也创造了一项世界纪录。同他父亲一样，他也驾驶着一辆名叫“蓝鸟”的赛车。 * **set up**：出发 / 着手 / 建立；回到原句判断是旅程、目标还是建立某物，不把三个词组当成同义词。 #### 1. The driver was the first man… 简单句，主系表结构，Sir Malcolm Campbell(1885-1948) 是英国赛车手，他创造了陆地和水上的最快驾驶记录，尤其是其蓝鸟赛车在1935年9月3日的这次，创造了 300英里时速的世界记录，从youtube 上的视频资料可知，当时是专门为了创造世界记录而驾驶的，并非是在某项比赛中创造的，所以教材的翻译我们有所修改. 日本Sarome 公司还以蓝鸟火箭车为原型，设计了蓝鸟火箭车打火机. #### 2. He set up a record… 简单句，主谓宾结构. #### 3. Bluebird had been built. 复合句，主句主谓结构，是过去完成时的被动语态，这里的同位语后面跟了个省略了that 的定语从句修饰car，主谓结构. #### 4. It was over 30 feet and had an engine. 并列句，and 连接前后两句，前句为主系表结构；后句为省略了主语的主谓宾结构. #### 5. Although Campbell reached a speed, he had difficulty… because a tyre burst. 复合句，主句主谓宾结构，句首为让步状语从句，主谓宾结构，后面还有一个 because 引导的原因状语从句，主谓结构. #### 6. Campbell was disappointed… 简单句，本句主干是主系表结构，不过后面的不定式短语作原因状语可以额外细分，to learn that his average speed had been 299 miles per hour. 我们在文中已经额外划分了该宾语从句的具体情况：that his average speed had been 299 miles per hour 作 learn 的宾语，从句内部是主系表结构，不是修饰名词的定语从句。 #### 7. he was told that a mistake had been made. 复合句，主句主谓 + that 引导的宾语从句结构，宾语从句为主谓结构，用了过去完成时的被动语态，had been done. #### 8. His average speed had been 301 miles per hour. 简单句，主系表结构. #### 9. racing drivers have reached speeds. 简单句，主谓宾结构. #### 10. Donald set up a record. 简单句，主谓宾结构. #### 11. he was driving a car… 简单句，主谓宾结构，过去分词作后置定语修饰car. 单元复习 本课为复习课，教材P325的SD 难点栏目提供了复习例句，斜体为正确词汇. #### 8. People \[often] come into our garden and pick flowers. 人们经常到我们的花园里来摘花. 9. \[Whenever I buy anything (new),] my father \[always] asks me the price. 每当我买新东西的时候，我爸总是问我价格. #### 14.
