【课文】

The great racing driver, Sir Malcolm Campbell, was the first man to drive at over 300 miles per hour. He set up a new world record in September 1935 at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah. Bluebird, the car he was driving, had been specially built for him. It was over 30 feet in length and had a 2,500-horsepower engine. Although Campbell reached a speed of over 304 miles per hour, he had great difficulty in controlling the car because a tyre burst during the first run. After his attempt, Campbell was disappointed to learn that his average speed had been 299 miles per hour. However, a few days later, he was told that a mistake had been made. His average speed had been 301 miles per hour. Since that time, racing drivers have reached speeds over 600 miles an hour. Following in his father's footsteps many years later, Sir Malcolm's son, Donald, also set up a world record. Like his father, he was driving a car called Bluebird.

伟大的赛车手马尔科姆·坎贝尔爵士是第一个驾驶速度超过每小时300英里的人。1935年9月，他在犹他州的邦纳维尔盐滩创下了新的世界纪录。他驾驶的汽车名为“蓝鸟”，是专门为他打造的。这辆车长30多英尺，配备了2500马力的发动机。尽管坎贝尔的速度超过了每小时304英里，但由于在第一圈行驶中轮胎爆裂，他很难控制汽车。尝试之后，坎贝尔得知自己的平均速度仅为每小时299英里，感到非常失望。然而，几天后，他被告知之前计算有误。他的平均速度实际上是每小时301英里。自那时起，赛车手们的驾驶速度已经超过了每小时600英里。多年后，马尔科姆爵士的儿子唐纳德追随父亲的脚步，也创下了世界纪录。和父亲一样，他驾驶的也是一辆名为“蓝鸟”的汽车。
