2007年6月真题短文2(2/2)

The most remarkable part of this story unfolded only last week. Karen and her boyfriend Michael were looking through some old boxes when they came across some old newspaper clippings. "This is me when I was a new born baby. I was rescued from a burning car but my mother died in the accident," explained Karen. Although Michael knew Karen's mother had died years earlier, he never fully understood the circumstances until he skimmed over the news paper article. To Karen's surprise, Michael was absorbed in the details of the accident and he began to cry uncontrollably. Then he revealed that the man that pulled Karen from the flames was the father he never knew. The two embraced and shed many tears, recounting stories told to them about their parents.

这个故事中最奇妙的巧合于上周刚刚解开。科伦和她的男朋友麦克在翻看一个旧盒子的时候突然看见一些很久以前的剪报。“这是我刚出生时候的事。我从着火的汽车中被救出来，但我妈妈在那场事故中丧生”科伦解释道。尽管麦克知道科伦的妈妈很早就过世了，但直到他看完报道才弄清楚当年到底发生了什么事情。让科伦吃惊的是，麦克被报道中的某个细节吸引并不可抑制地哭了起来。然后他透露把科伦从火里拉出来的那个人是他没见过的爸爸。他们两人相拥而泣，再次回味那个讲述他们父母的故事。
