Now here we were, poised at the starting gate in Salt Lake City for the 2002 Winter Games. "Ready…Go!" We pushed off. Jill jumped into the sled. I kept pushing, building up speed, driving my legs, then jumped into the sled just as we hit the first steep incline. It was a record start time—5.31 seconds—and our ride just built from there. There were 15 turns and we navigated each of them perfectly, racing at an average speed of 82.3 mph. We crossed the finish line in 48.81 seconds, a new track mark. There are two heats in Olympic bobsled, and our second one later that night was nearly as fast. I looked at our time: 48.95 seconds.
參考答案:现在,我们终于站在了2002年盐湖城冬奥会的比赛出发点。“准备......出发！”我们冲了出去。吉尔跳进了雪橇，我在后面推，加速，不停奔跑，到达第一个斜坡时我也跳上了雪橇。这是一个破记录的出发——5.31秒，为我们的成绩创下良好开端。比赛一共有15个转弯，我们完美的通过了每一个弯道，平均速度达到每小时82.3英里。到达终点的时间为48.81秒，一个新的记录。奥运会上共有2项雪橇比赛，那晚我们的第二项比赛，速度也几乎一样快。我看了成绩：48.95秒。
