Q

Mike, the truck driver, came to a stop. The bridge over the road is too low, and he couldn’t drive his truck under it. Mike thought, “My larry is only 5cm too tall. Must I really turn round and go back?” He thought about it some more, and then he smiled. A few minutes later, he past the bridge and on his way again.How did he make it?
迈克是一名卡车司机，他开着车停了下来。他前方有一座桥，桥上有限高，他不能开着卡车通过。迈克想：我的卡车只比限高高了5厘米，我真的要掉头回去吗？他想了想，嘴角露出了微笑。几分钟后，他开车过了桥，继续上路了。他是怎么做到的？

A

He let a little air out of the tires.
他将车胎中的气放走了一些。

点睛一笔

本题的题干很长，描述了一件事，题中涉及几个常用的短语：came to a stop意思是“停止，停下来”，turn round意思是“转身，掉头”，on one’s way意思是“在路上，在途中”。车胎放走一些气，就会瘪一些，车胎的高度就会变低，而卡车整体的高度也随之变低；不过，得提醒迈克：安全最要紧。
