The great racing driver, Sir Malcolm Campbell, was the first man to drive at over 300 miles per hour. He set up a new world record in September 1935 at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah. Bluebird, the car he was driving, had been specially built for him. It was over 30 feet in length and had a 2,500-horsepower engine.

偉大的賽車(chē)手，馬爾科姆·坎貝爾爵士，是第一位開(kāi)車(chē)超過(guò)300英里每小時(shí)的人。他1935年9月，在猶他州的邦納維爾鹽灘創(chuàng)造了一項(xiàng)新的世界紀(jì)錄。他開(kāi)的車(chē)，藍(lán)鳥(niǎo)，是他特殊改造的。它長(zhǎng)度超過(guò)30英尺，和2500馬力的引擎。

Although Campbell reached a speed of over 304 miles per hour, he had great difficulty in controlling the car because a tyre burst during the first run. After his attempt, Campbell was disappointed to learn that his average speed had been 299 miles per hour. However, a few days later, he was told that a mistake had been made.

雖然坎貝爾達(dá)到了304英里每小時(shí)，但他很難控制車(chē)子，因?yàn)殚_(kāi)始的時(shí)候爆了一只輪胎。在他的努力下，他失望地了解到自己只達(dá)到了299英里每小時(shí)的平均速度。然而，幾天后，他得知了一個(gè)已經(jīng)犯下的錯(cuò)誤。

His average speed had been 301 miles per hour. Since that time, racing drivers have reached speeds over 600 miles an hour. Following in his fathers footsteps many years later, Sir Malcolms son, Donald, also set up a world record. Like his father, he was driving a car called Bluebird.

他的平均速度是301英尺每小時(shí)。從那時(shí)起，賽車(chē)手已經(jīng)超過(guò)了600英里每小時(shí)。多年后，他的兒子，小馬爾科姆追隨者父親的腳步，也創(chuàng)造了一項(xiàng)世界紀(jì)錄。跟他父親一樣，他開(kāi)的車(chē)也叫藍(lán)鳥(niǎo)。
