六级英语美文摘抄(11)

在一片混乱中，一位母亲正在对着自己的孩子说话。这位妇女35岁左右的样子，无论怎么看都貌不出众。她正目不转睛地注视着女儿的脸，女儿看起来有4岁了。孩子察觉到了母亲话的分量，正在全神贯注地听。母亲凝视的目光让孩子听得聚精会神，似乎一点也不为周围人们哀伤和惊恐的声音所动。
A picture flashed into my mind of another little girl who had recently survived a terrible plane crash. Speculation had it that she had lived because her mother had strapped her own body over the little girl's in order to protect her.
我脑子里闪现出另一个小姑娘的形象，她是最近一场空难的幸存者。据推测，她之所以能活下来，全亏了母亲用安全带把她们捆在一起，把她压在身下保护了她。
