Unit 12 Life is full of the unexpected.

P91 3a

Life is full of the unexpected.

In May 2001, I found a job in New York at the World Trade Center. On September 11, 2001, I arrived at my building at around 8:30 a.m. I was about to go up when I decided to get a coffee first. I went to my favorite coffee place even though it was two blocks east from my office. As I was waiting in line with other office workers, I heard a loud sound. Before I could join the others outside to see what was going on, the first plane had already hit my office building. We stared in disbelief at the black smoke rising above the burning building. I felt lucky to be alive.

Almost 10 years later, I woke up at 10:00 a.m. on February 21, 2011 and realized that my alarm never went off. I jumped out of bed and went straight to the airport. But by the time I got to the airport, my plane to New Zealand had already taken off. “This is the first holiday I’ve taken in a year, and I miss my plane. What bad luck!” I thought to myself. The other planes were full so I had to wait till the next day. The next morning, I heard about the earthquake in New Zealand the day before. My bad luck had unexpectedly turned into a good thing.

生活充满了意外

2001年5月，我在纽约世贸中心找到了一份工作。2001年9月11日，我大概在早上8点半到达了工作的大楼。我正要上楼，这时我决定先去买一杯咖啡。我去了我最喜欢的咖啡店，虽然它在我办公室东边两个街区以外。当我正在和其他办公室职员排队等待的时候，听到一声巨响。我还没来得及加入屋外的人群弄清究竟发生了什么事儿，第一架飞机已经撞上了我办公室的大楼。我们急愣愣地盯着燃烧的大楼上升起的黑烟，无法相信（这一切）。我觉得我能够活着很幸运。

大约十年之后，2011年2月21日，我早上十点醒来，意识到我的闹钟根本没有响。我从床上跳起来直奔机场。但是当我到达机场时，我飞往新西兰的航班已经起飞了。“这可是我今年的第一个假期，我居然误了航班。真倒霉”！我暗想。其他的航班都已经满员，我不得不到第二天。（结果）第二天早上，我听到新西兰前一天发生了地震。我的坏运气意想不到地变成了一件好事。
