Unit 2 Road Trip
開車旅行

Tired and frustrated of working as a waitress, Mary decided to take a road trip. She loaded up her VW van and headed south. She didn’t know where she was going. She was just going to go until her money ran out.
瑪麗是一名女侍，因?yàn)楣ぷ魃蠋淼钠＠酆痛鞌?，她決定開車旅行。她把要帶的東西裝進(jìn)她那臺(tái)VW 貨車上，然后往南開。她不知道自己要去哪里，目的只是想旅行到錢花光為止。

On her way out of town, she stopped at a corner store to pick up some road maps, chocolate, and dried dog food for her dog. One day in a restaurant, a strange-looking man approached Mary. He seemed familiar, but she didn’t know from where.
她出城的路上，在街頭小店買了些公路圖、巧克力和她的狗要吃的干狗食。有一天在一家餐廳里，有個(gè)陌生面孔向瑪麗這邊走過來；他看起來有點(diǎn)面熟，但就是想不起來在哪里見過。

He invited her to sit at his table. “I have a message for you,” he said. He handed Mary an envelope. She took the envelope. Inside was a note. It read, “You already have everything you are searching for. Go home.”
他邀請她坐到他那一桌，然后說∶“我有信息要給你?！彼唤o瑪麗一個(gè)信封，于是瑪麗打開信封，里面是一張紙條，上面寫著∶“你想尋找的一切都已經(jīng)有了，回家吧?！?/div>

Mary was confused by the letter, but had an idea about what it meant. Mary always got in her van and ran away when life was tough. She was always searching for a better place, and of course never found it. That same day, Mary turned around and went home. He was right; she already had everything she was searching for.
瑪麗被那封信弄糊涂了，但她知道紙條寫的是什么意思?，旣惻龅缴畈蝗缫鈺r(shí)總是會(huì)開著她的貨車離家。她一直在尋找一個(gè)更好的地方，不過當(dāng)然啰，她從來沒有找到過。于是那一天，瑪麗便掉頭打道回府了。他說得對，所有她想找的東西她都已經(jīng)有了。
