被控欠债澳大利亚人梅森

　　An Australian, Mr. Mason, was charged with being in debt! On the day of trial, there was a great attendance at the court. Every audience was attentive to what he said. Mr. Mason used to be an athlete. But he had a dream of being an astronaut. In his mind, astronomy had atom theory were much more attractive than sports games. He paid attention to all kinds of space information. And he borrowed too much money to rent a spacecraft. But he hadn t paid off his debt yet. Mr. Mason gave assurance that his debts should be paid soon. His sincere attitude was so moving that he attained his freedom. But he attributed this to his attorney. After that, Mr. Mason worked in a store during the day. And he augmented his income by teaching in the evenings. He used tapes as aural material to teach English. By the end of that year, he paid off all his debt. So Mr. Mason decided to cross the Atlantic Ocean as a trip. He attached a label to his baggage then went aboard. It s a day of nice atmospheric pressure. He was astonished to feel the atmosphere of peace and calm on the sea. It reminded him of his dream again!

　　一名澳大利亚人，梅森先生被控欠债!法院审判的那天，许多人出席了。每个听众都很留神他说的话。梅森先生曾经是个运动员。但他的梦想是成为一名宇航员。他的概念中，天文学和原子理论比体育比赛要有吸引力多了。他注意各种各样的太空信息。并且他借了太多的钱来租一条太空船。但他迄今还没有还清债务。梅森先生保证很快会还清。他那诚恳的态度如此感人，因此他获得了自由。但他把这归于他的辩护律师。那之后，梅森先生白天在一家店里工作，晚上则教书来增加收入。他用磁带作为听觉教材来教英语。在年底之前，他付清了所有债务。于是梅森先生决定横渡大西洋来旅游。他在行李上贴上一个标签后上了船。那天气压很好。他很惊讶地感觉到海上那种平和宁静的气氛。这让他又想起了他的理想!
