I was running a few errands in my car the other day. The sun was out, the radio was playing, and I was singing along. The song was a joyful one and even my weak voice sounded good singing it. Then it happened, however. The sweet sound of the music ended and was replaced with the dreaded news break.

前几天我在自己的车子里处理一些事情，太阳出来了，收音机播放着，我跟着里面唱起歌来，歌曲的旋律欢快，我五音不全也能唱好。突然优美的音乐停止了，取而代之的是骇人听闻的一些消息。

I drove on while the announcer droned on. Gas prices were going higher again because of the competitive speculation on Wall Street. The race for the Presidency was getting nastier and nastier, Rioting had broken out when fans of a sports team had gone wild, celebrating their team’s championship.

我边开着车边听着广播，由于华尔街上的投机竞争导致油价的上涨，总统竞选变得越来越手段肮脏，粉丝在庆祝喜爱的运动队伍取得比赛胜利时候，发生了暴乱。

Finally, I could take no more and turned off the radio. Silence seemed preferable to listening to anything else about the crazy, competitive society we live in. I slowed down as I entered a local town and watched the people as I drove by.

最终我不堪忍受这些负面资讯之重而关掉了收音机。此刻的宁静比听那些令人糟心揭露社会疯狂、竞争资讯要好多了，我减速来的镇上，看经过的人来人往。
