To live in a small mountainous university town in the eastern US enjoys many unmatched advantages. In addition to various sports, arts, culture, entertainment events year around, the air is clean, water is green, sky is blue, trees change colors with seasons, wild animals peacefully co-exist with humans. True, it is almost a heaven. However, just like what Chairman Mao said, “Everything has two sides”. The rate of automobile accidents caused by deer here is also very high. Such deer accidents were most likely to occur in the deer hunting season in November each year. Four years ago, I unluckily hit the second deer in three years. As I was driving to work in a lightly foggy morning, I saw three small deer standing in the median waiting for the chance to cross the road. I mistakenly treated them as human beings thinking that they were waiting for chances and would cross the road until all cars have passed – the result of reading too many children stories. As I was approaching the deer, one of them suddenly jumped into the road. It hardly gave me any time to react. My car lightly kissed the deer's rear end and sent him into the grassy area beside the road. Of cause, the front of my car was badly damaged. I filed insurance claim and went for damage estimate. All three people including me in the waiting room of the body shop had deer accidents. One man told us a funny but true story. His friend's wife was driving in one morning with her husband as the passenger. As the couple was talking on hot topics, the wife lost concentration. The husband suddenly saw a deer standing in the middle of the road. He immediately yelled “DEER!” to warn his wife. She did not pay attention to the road but turned to her husband and sweetly said “Yes, dear.” The car hit the deer causing a good amount of damage. The wife began to complain “Why did not you warn me?” “Yes, I did.” The husband explained. “But I should yell CAT or something instead of DEER.” Deer hunting season is coming, please drive carefully, especially early morning or evening when the deer are looking for food and water. It is advised to turn on high beam lights whenever it is allowed.
It makes me understand why it is so difficult for me to read some of the English journal papers, prepared by mainland researchers, that I was assigned to review.

住在一个小山区的大学城,在美国东部享有许多无法比拟的优势。除了各种体育,艺术,文化,娱乐活动全年,空气是干净的,水是绿的,天是蓝的,树改变颜色随季节,野生动物和平并存的人类。诚然,这几乎是一个天堂。然而,就像毛主席说,“任何事物都有两面性”。造成鹿汽车事故发生率在这里也是非常高的。这种鹿的事故最有可能每年发生在鹿狩猎季节在十一月。
四年前,我不幸撞到鹿二三年。当我开车在轻轻有雾的早晨上班,我看到三个小的鹿站在中间等待机会过马路。我错误地对待他们作为人以为他们是在等待机会,将过马路,直到所有的车都过去了 - 读太多的儿童故事的结果。当我接近小鹿,其中一人突然跳进了路。它几乎没有给我任何时间作出反应。我的车轻轻地吻了鹿的后端,并送他到路边的草地。原因,我的车前部被严重损坏。
我申请保险索赔,去损害估计。这三种人,包括我的身体店候车室有鹿的事故。一名男子告诉我们一个有趣的,但真实的故事。他的朋友的妻子开车在一个早晨,她的丈夫作为乘客。由于夫妻俩在谈论热点话题,妻子失去了浓度。丈夫突然看见一只鹿站在路中间。他立即大喊“鹿鼎记”!警告他的妻子。她没有留意路面而是转向了她的丈夫和娇声说道“是的,亲爱的。”汽车撞鹿造成的伤害量好。
妻子开始抱怨“你为什么不提醒我?”“是的,我做到了。”丈夫解释。 “不过,我应该喊猫之类的东西,而不是鹿。”
鹿狩猎季节即将到来,请小心驾驶,尤其是清晨或傍晚,当鹿在寻找食物和水。这是亮着远光灯时,它是允许的
