实战口语情景对话 第358期:The Injury 受伤

 　　I ended up in the hospital once after a baseball practice. What happened was, I was on first base trying to run to second base, as you might know in baseball that's called stealing a base, so as I was stealing second base I tried to slide and rather than putting my hands up to protect them I landed on my arm and as soon as my arm hit the ground, everyone could hear a large "snap¹". It was like somoeone snapping² their fingers really loud, and it was so loud that my dad, who was playing catcher asked me, "Did you break your arm?" and I took a look at my arm and it was completely out of shape. 有一次我在练习棒球之后受伤进了医院。当时我正试图从一垒跑向二垒，你知道，那在棒球中称作盗垒，当时我在盗二垒，我试图滑向二垒，而没有把手举起来进行保护，然后我的手臂着地了，在我的手臂撞到地面上时，所有人都听到了巨大的咔嚓声。就像大声打响指的声音一样，当时那个声音太大了，以至于担任接球手的爸爸问我，“你的手臂断了吗？”我看了看我的手臂，它已经完全变形了。 It wasn't straight anymore. It was bent³ and I was actually very calm. I answered him, "Yeah, I broke my arm, so instead of crying or panicing, I was very calm about it, and he took me to the hospital. The doctor put my arm back in its normal place, put a cast on it, and that was that. 当时我的手臂已经不是直的了。它已经弯曲了，而我其实非常平静。我回答爸爸说，“对，我的手臂断了”，我并没有哭，也没有惊慌，我当时非常的冷静，然后我爸爸把我送去了医院。医生把我的手臂复位，然后给我打了石膏，就是这样。
