That Unforgettable Day
难忘的一天
I will always remember New Year's Day in 2001.
我将永远记得2001年的元旦。
Early that morning my sister and I received a phone call.
那天一大清早，我姐姐和我接到一个电话。
We were told Grandma had fainted and was being taken to a hospital in Taichung.
电话中我们得知祖母昏倒后正被送到台中一家医院。
The moment we received the message, my uncle drove us to the hospital as fast as he could.
一接到这个消息，叔叔便尽快地载我们到医院去。
It was a long iournev from Taipei.
从台北到台中路很长。
While we were on the road, holiday bumper-to-bumper traffic slowed us down to a snail's pace and a car accident the previous day made the congestion worse.
一路上，假日大排长龙的车流使我们慢得如蜗牛一般，而前一天的一场车祸使塞车更为严重。
Consequently, we got stuck for more than six hours on the highway.
因此，我们在高速公路上被困了六个多小时。
We were worried about Grandma the whole time.
我们一直担心祖母。
As soon as we arrived at the Taian Rest Area, we anxiously phoned home.
一到泰安休息区，我们满怀焦虑地打电话回家。
However, Grandma had died of heart failure just half an hour before we called.
然而，在我们打电话前半小时，祖母已因心脏衰竭而去世。
