Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed. For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress. Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house. He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up. A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below. The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground. Although the bed was smashed to pieces, the man was miraculously unhurt. When he woke up, he was still on the mattress. Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, the man sadly picked up the mattress and carried it into his house. After he had put it on the floor, he promptly went to sleep again.參考譯文德黑蘭的一個人年輕人由于對睡地板感到厭倦,于是積蓄多年買了一張真正的床。但第三天晚上起了風(fēng)暴。他醒來時,仍然躺在床墊上。/ Working all day tires 。be tired from+n./doing因…而感到累的Eg: I’m very tired from running as fast as I can.盡力快跑令我很累。real1)adj.真正的,衷心的,誠實的eg.
