An Accident
一次事故
One sunny afternoon, when I was merrily riding home, I heard “Help! Help!”. I rode to the riverside and found a boy of about five in the river struggling. I jumped into the water, swam to the boy and dragged him to the river bank. The boy said he was trying to catch a fish near the river bank and carelessly fell into the water. I asked him where his home was and sent him home. “Thank you very much!” the boy's parents said, when I left his home. Though I got home late that afternoon, I was very happy.

Last week, I witnessed a car accident on my way home from school. It was a sunny afternoon, and the streets were crowded with vehicles and pedestrians. Suddenly, I heard a loud screech of brakes followed by a crashing sound.
I quickly turned my head and saw two cars colliding at an intersection. One car had run a red light and crashed into the side of another car. People nearby rushed to the scene, yelling and trying to help. I immediately dialed the emergency hotline to report the accident.
Fortunately, no one seemed seriously injured, but both cars were badly damaged. The drivers of both cars were visibly shaken and upset. The police arrived shortly after my call and began directing traffic and collecting information from witnesses.
I stayed at the scene to provide my account of what happened. The police asked me questions about the accident and I answered to the best of my ability. It was a chaotic scene, with the sound of sirens and the flashing lights of emergency vehicles.
After some time, the tow trucks arrived to remove the damaged cars from the road. As the cars were being towed away, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that no one was seriously hurt in the accident.
Witnessing this accident made me realize the importance of obeying traffic rules and staying alert while driving. It also reminded me of the fragility of life and how accidents can happen in an instant. I hope that everyone involved in the accident learned a valuable lesson and will drive more safely in the future.
上周，在我放学回家的路上，我目睹了一起车祸。那是一个阳光明媚的下午，街上车辆和行人很多。突然，我听到了刹车声和撞击声。
我迅速转过头，看到两辆车在十字路口相撞。一辆车闯红灯，撞到了另一辆车的侧面。附近的人们纷纷跑到现场，喊叫着，试图帮助。我立即拨打了紧急热线报告事故。
幸运的是，似乎没有人受重伤，但两辆车都受到了严重损坏。两辆车的司机显然受到了惊吓和困扰。警察在我打电话后不久赶到，开始引导交通并收集目击者的信息。
我留在现场提供了我所看到的情况。警察问我关于事故的问题，我尽力回答。现场一片混乱，警笛声和急救车闪烁的灯光不绝于耳。
过了一段时间，拖车来了，把损坏的车辆从道路上拖走。当车辆被拖走时，我禁不住感到一种宽慰，因为这次事故没有人受到严重伤害。
目睹这起事故让我意识到遵守交通规则和保持警惕的重要性。它也让我想起了生命的脆弱性，以及事故可以在一瞬间发生。我希望事故中的每个人都能从中吸取宝贵的教训，并在将来更加安全地驾驶。
