SOMETHING STRANGE

1--The other night we were watching TV and the strangest thing happened.

2--Really?What?

1--It was during that thunderstorm¹ we had. You remember. It poured down rain and there was a lot of lightning and thunder.

2--I remember quite well. The children were frightened, and the dog ran hid under the bed!

1--Well, anyway, the lightning flashed a number of times, and we were going to turn off the TV. That's when this strange thing hapened.

2--I hope the lightning didn't hit your TV!

1--Oh, nothing as serious as that. But, suddenly the TV began to change channels rapidly--all by itself!

2--That's weird².

1--I'll say! It was a little scary³, too!

译文：

1--那天晚上我们看电视的时候，出了一件非常怪的事儿。

2--是吗？什么事儿？

1--就是下雷雨的那天晚上，记得吗？大雨哗哗下，又是打雷又是打闪。

2--我记得很清楚。孩子们都吓傻了，连狗都躲到床底下藏了起来。

1--那会儿，反正闪电一个接一个，我们正要关掉电视机，就在那时侯出现了怪事儿。

2--可别是闪电击中了你们的电视机！

1--哦，没那么严重。但突然电视机很快地变换起频道，根本没人动它。

2--那真怪了！

1--就是怪，也真够吓人的。
