【胡敏读故事背雅思单词】10 一颗小行星(1/2)
Hint:Earthhttp://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201211/201211280628156397210.mp3When the aspiring young man tried to assert his opinion that an asteroid was going to destroy Earth the following year, he was astonished to be kicked out of his association. He thought he had assessed the situation clearly, but he had been wrong to think that the assorted gentlemen would believe his core assumptions. He tried to give assurances of their accuracy, but the verbal assault on his theory made him feel as if he had been assassinated. As he walked out of the building he saw that his most valuable asset, his car, had been stolen. With his aspirations crushed even further he walked home to assemble what was left of his life. He just couldn't stop thinking that those men to whom he had ascribed such wisdom were unable to assume an open mind to consider other ideas.当这位有抱负的年轻人试着宣布他的观点说一颗小行星将在来年摧毁地球时，他被协会扫出了门，这着实让他大吃一惊。他认为对情况作了很清晰的评估，但是认为各位先生会相信他的核心假设却是个错误。他试图让人们对他的理论准确性充满信心，可是对他的理论的语言攻击让他觉得好像他已经被暗杀了。走出大楼时，他发现他最宝贵的财产---汽车被盗了。抱负被进一步扼杀之后，他只好回家去收拾残局。他不禁想，那些他认为那么有智慧的人怎么就不能再考虑其他问题时采取开明的态度呢？
