Lesson 49

Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed.
由于厌倦了睡在板铺上，德黑兰的一个年轻人攒了多年的钱买了一张真正的床。
For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress.
在他生命中第一次，他成为了一张带有弹簧和床垫的床的自豪主人。
Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house.
因为天气非常热，他把床搬到了他房子的屋顶上。
He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up.
他在头两个晚上睡得非常好，但在第三个晚上，一场暴风雨爆发了。
A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below.
一阵风把床从屋顶上吹了下来，使它摔碎在下面的院子里。
The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground.
这个年轻人直到床撞到了地上才醒过来。
Although the bed was smashed to pieces, the man was miraculously unhurt.
虽然床被撞成了碎片，但那个人奇迹般地没有受伤。
When he woke up, he was still on the mattress.
当他醒来时，他仍然在床垫上。
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.
扫视着散落在周围的木头和金属碎片，这个男人伤心地捡起那块床垫，把它搬进了屋子。
After he had put it on the floor, he promptly went to sleep again.
在他把它放在地板上之后，他又迅速入睡了。
