读故事

　　Ever since he could remember, Dennis had liked exceedingly fast speed.He had dreamed of being a racing car driver, but instead, had become a driving instructor.One day, a friend of his who was an executive, asked Dennis to teach his executive assistant to drive, because without exception, she drove too slowly.On their first excursion Dennis asked her to execute a right hand turn into an exclusive part of town where there would be fewer drivers to take exception to her lack of speed.However, in her excessive excitement, her foot slipped, and the car suddenly went in excess of the speed limit.Dennis wanted to exclude the possibility of a crash, or the police might exclaim that this excess speed was likely to cause one.But it also made him feel excited to exceed the speed limit, so he said nothing.There was then an exchange of words, in which Dennis became excited to excess when told that he was not exclusive in his liking for speed.He suggested they should exchange places behind the wheel, otherwise he would have to exaggerate the risks of driving too fast.

　　自从有记忆力起，丹尼斯就喜欢非常快的速度。他梦想成为一名赛车手，可却成了一名驾驶教练。，一位当主管的朋友让丹尼斯教他的执行助理开车，因为她的车开得太慢，而且从无例外。在他们次短途旅行中，丹尼斯让她完成一次右转弯，然后驶入城里的住宅区，因为那里没有什么车，不会有人对她的车速太慢表示异议。可是，由于过度兴奋，她脚下一滑，车子突然以超过限定的速度冲了出去。丹尼斯想把碰撞的可能性排除掉，否则警察会大声说这种超速肯定得出事。但超过限速也使他觉得刺激，于是他什么也没说。然后他们交换了意见，当他得知喜欢速度的并非他一人，丹尼斯变得有点过分激动。他提议他们在方向盘后面互换位置，否则他只能夸大车速过快的危险了。
