1. It was very different from modern car races but no less exciting.
    它虽然与现代汽车比赛大不相同，但激动人心的程度并不亚于现代化汽车大赛。

2. Is my car ready yet?
    我的汽车修好了吗？

3. Isn´t that your car?
    这难道不是您的车吗？

4. I turned to see their shadows get into a car and speed away.
    我转过身，看见他们的影子钻进了一辆汽车，急速地开走了。

5. I got to my feet, found the keys, entered and called 911. The operator took a description of the robbers and sent a police car.
    我站起身来，找到了钥匙，进了屋，然后拨通了911。接线员记下了我对劫匪的描述，然后派了辆警车来。

6. I have confronted an attacker in my imagination, not in reality. A man is walking down the street. I lock my car and walk to my apartment with my key ready.
    他很害怕。我害怕我会吓着他，从而致使他朝我开枪，我还担心我把钱给他以后，他仍然会朝我开枪。

7. I do not turn around. I stare ahead waiting to pay. I try not to reveal I feel anxiety just because a black man has walked up behind me in a gas station in a bad neighborhood and he does not have a car.
    他曾试图抢劫我，可这一点并不重要。一个人因为钱而死，不一定是我的钱或者是他的钱，就是钱。是谁给他的生命如此标价的呢？

8. It seems they could not find the right kind of tape to put on cars while they painted them. Either the tape stuck too much and ruined the paint job or it fell off too soon and the paint ran onto another part of the car.
    好像是他们找不到一种在给汽车喷漆时可以贴在车上的合适的胶带。要么是胶带太粘，结果把刚喷好的漆也弄坏了；要么是胶带脱落得太快，结果油漆流到了汽车的其他部位。
