Unit1 He was driving home one evening, on a two-lane country road. Work, in this small Midwestern community, was almost as slow as his beat-up Pontiac,1 but he never quit looking. Ever since the factory closed, he’d been unemployed, and with winter raging on, the chill had finally hit home2. 一天傍晚，他在双车道的乡村公路上驱车回家。工作在中西部这个小社区清淡得几乎就像他那辆破旧的庞蒂亚克车慢悠悠的，可是他从没放弃过寻找工作。工厂倒闭后，他就一直失业，偏又赶上严冬肆虐，寒气逼人。 It was a lonely road. Not many people had a reason to be on it, unless they were leaving. Most of his friends had already left. They had families to feed and dreams to fulfill, but he stayed on. After all, this was where he buried his mother and father. He was born here and knew the country. 一路上人迹稀少。没有多少人会有理由在这条路上行驶，除非是他们离开这个地方。他的大部分朋友都已经离开这里了，他们要养家糊口，要实现梦想。而他留了下来，毕竟这里是他父母的安息之地，他就出生在这里，熟悉这里的一切。 He could go down this road blind,3 and tell you what was on either side, and with his headlights not working, that came in handy. It was starting to get dark and light snow flurries were coming down.
