Once a year, race is held for old cars. A lot of cars entered for this race last year and there was a great deal of excitement just before it began. One of the most handsome cars was a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. The most unusual car was a Benz which had only three wheels. Built in 1885, it was the oldest car taking part. After a great many loud explosion, the race began. Many of the cars broke down on the course and some drivers spent more time under their cars than in them! A few cars, however, complete the race. The winning car reached a speed of forty miles an hour -- much faster than any of its rivals. It sped downhill at the end of the race and its driver had a lot of trouble trying to stop it. The race gave everyone a great deal of pleasure. It was very different from modern car race but on less exciting.

每年都举行了旧式汽车比赛。去年有很多车参加这个比赛，比赛开始之前，人们异常激动。其中有一辆很最漂亮的汽车是劳斯莱斯银魂。还有一辆非常罕见的只有三个轮子的奔驰。产自1885，是这个里面最老的一辆车。在一阵很喧闹的爆炸声之后，比赛开始。很多车子坏在半道上，还有一些驾驶员修车的时间比开车的时间还要多。只有很少的一部分车完成了比赛。冠军车的车速达到40英里每小时 －－ 这个是在它们中最快的了。它冲过终点的前面一个矮坡之后驾驶员费了好大劲如何将车停住。这场比赛让大家都很开心。它虽然和现在汽车比赛不一样，但是丝毫不逊色。
