1. 中英文逐句转述 

上周，我在一场斗牛中看一幕完全不可思议的表演。

Last week , I watched an unbelievable show during a bullfight.

突然不知从哪冒出来一个醉汉，溜达到了斗牛场的中央。

Out of nowhere, a drunk suddenly wandered into the middle of the ring.

这个不速之客让观众感到很奇怪，人群中开始叫喊。

Surprised by the unwelcome visitor, the crowd started to shout.  

但是，这个疯狂的醉汉似乎对于危险一无所知。

But the crazy drunk seemed to be ignorant of the danger.  

【If someone is ignorant of a fact, they do not know it.】

就在那时，公牛忙着对付斗牛士，根本没有注意到其他人，但是很快它突然看见了醉汉大声喊着粗鲁的话手中挥舞着一顶红色的帽子。

Just at that moment, the bull was too busy with the matador to notice anyone else, but it soon caught sight of the drunk shouting rude remarks and waving a red cap.

显然，对于这样的挑衅很敏感，公牛向醉汉猛冲过去，而让寂寞的斗牛士不知所措。

Apparently sensitive to such a provocation, the bull charged at the drunk, leaving the lonely matador at a loss.

【注意：provocation n.  来自动词provoke】

整个斗牛场突然变得安静下来，每个人都屏住了呼吸---每个人，指的是除了醉汉之外的每个人。

The entire ring suddenly became quiet and everybody was holding their breath --- everybody, that is , except the drunk.  

醉汉似乎对于自己特别自信，持续挥舞着帽子

He seemed very confident about himself, continuously waving the cap.

当愤怒的公牛接近醉汉的时候，我的心都提到嗓子眼了。

As the angry bull was approaching the drunk, I could feel my heart in my throat (mouth).

然而，令大家都感到惊讶的是，这个醉汉竟然能笨拙地闪到一边，让牛扑了空。

However, to everybody's surprise, the drunk managed to move aside clumsily and let the bull pass.

人群中爆发出欢巨大的呼声和掌声，而醉汉甚至得意地向大家鞠躬。

As the crowd broke into loud cheers and applause , the drunk even proudly bowed.

但是，醉汉的表演很快就被中断了，三个身材魁梧的人冲进了斗牛场，快速地把醉汉拖离。

But the drunk's show was soon interrupted by three big men who rushed to the ring and quickly dragged the drunk away.

眼看着了醉汉离开斗牛场，连这头公牛似乎也表示出了同情。因为，直到了醉汉完全不见了，它才把注意力转向了斗牛士。

Watching the drunk leaving the ring, even the bull seemed to be sympathetic, as it didn't turn its attention to the matador until the drunk was out of sight.  

这个神秘的醉汉到底是谁呢？

Who on earth was the mysterious drunk?

原来他是一个退休的斗牛士，自从退休之后就一直沉迷于酒精之中。

It turned out that he was a retired matador who had been indulging in drinking since his retirement.   

他非常想念斗牛场，而忍不住回到了他曾经的舞台。

He missed the ring so much that he couldn't help going back to the stage again.

3. 东欣点评  你觉得斗牛残忍吗？

Bullfighting has a long history.

Bullfighting has existed in some form for thousands of years. A depiction of male and female acrobats fighting a bull can be seen in wall paintings in Knossos, Crete, dating back to 2000BC.

How does bullfighting work?

A bullfight usually features three matadors, each of whom fights two bulls. The bulls are of a savage breed specially trained to attack humans.  

Opening Parade  开场游行展示环节

Bullfights begin with an opening parade. The matadors and their supporting team walk around the ring in front of the crowds of cheering fans. After the participants take their places, a bull is released into the ring and the fight starts.

Cape Stage   斗篷斗牛环节

The cape stage is the first of the three parts in a bullfight.The bull charges at the cape and the matador must gracefully move aside at the last moment if he wants to gain the hearts of the audience.

Picador Stage  骑马斗牛士环节  (Picador /'pɪkədɔː/)

The picador stage is the second part of the bullfight. Picadors are bullfighters on horseback with protective armor(盔甲) and lances(长矛). Theytaunt the bull until it charges, at which points they stab the bull in the shoulders to anger it.

Killing Stage   宰杀环节

The bulls are usually killed at the end of the bullfights. The killing stage wraps up the bullfight. But if some bulls have displayed particularly brave behavior in the ring, they can be pardoned（赦免）. The crowd uses white handkerchiefs to persuade the president of the bullring to let the bull live.

Why is bullfighting controversial?

To followers of bullfighting the contest between man and beast demonstrates human skill and courage. In Spain,some believe it is a sport and a proud national symbol.However, many people believe bullfighting is barbaric and inhumane. Surveys indicate that younger generations in Spain have shown less interest in bullfighting.

Bullfighting is banned in some areas of Spain.Therefore, it appears that bullfighting will still be around for years to come, but it may be limited to a few areas.
