新概念英语第二册21

21 Mad or not?是不是疯了 Airplanes are slowly driving me mad. I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day. The airport was built years ago, but for some reason it could not be used then. Last year, however, it came into use. Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise. I am one of the few people left. Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane. I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here. Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right. 飞机正在慢慢地把我逼疯了。我住在一个机场附近，过往飞机日夜不绝于耳。机场是许多年前建的，但由于某种原因当时没有能够使用。去年，然而，它开始使用。超过一百的人肯定是被噪音逼得离家远去。我是少数留下来的人中的一个。有时我觉得这房子就要被一架飞过的飞机撞倒。有人曾向我提供一大笔钱走了，但我决定留在这儿。大家都说我肯定是疯了，也许他们说的是对的。
