A flash of light plays on his face, then moves down the street past lawns and porches and rooftops, and then disappears. STEVE BRAND, the man who has been polishing his car, stands there speechless, staring upwards. He looks at DON MARTIN, his neighbor from across the street.
一道亮光划过他的脸庞，掠过街道上的草地、门廊和屋顶，然后消失了。正在擦车的史蒂夫·布兰德站在那里，盯着上空，惊讶得说不出话。他看向邻居唐·马丁，马丁住在街对面。）
Steve: What was that? A meteor?
史蒂夫：那是什么？流星？
Don: That's what it looks like. I didn't hear any crash, though, did you?
唐：看上去像。但我没听到撞击声，你听到了吗？
Steve: Nope, I didn't hear anything except a roar.
史蒂夫：没有，我就听到一声巨响。
Mrs. Brand: (from her porch) Steve? What was that?
布兰德夫人：（站在走廊上）史蒂夫？刚才那是什么东西？
Steve: Guess it was a meteor, honey. Came awful close, didn't it?
史蒂夫：亲爱的，我猜是颗流星。离我们真近，不是吗？
Mrs. Brand: Much too close!
布兰德夫人：太近了！
(People stand on their porches, watching and talking in low tones. We see a man screwing in a light bulb on a front porch, then getting down from the stool to turn on the switch and finding that nothing happens. A Man working on an electric power mower plugs in the plug. He turns on the switch, on and off, but nothing happens. Through one window of a front porch, a Woman is seen dialing her phone.)
(人们站在门廊前，一边观察一边低声交谈着。我们看到一个男人正在前门廊上拧灯泡，然后从凳子上下来去打开开关，但灯没有亮。另一个男人正在摆弄割草机。他把插头插进插座，反复按着开关，但割草机没有任何反应。透过前门廊的一扇窗户，还可以看到一位妇女正在拨电话。）
Woman: Operator, operator, something's wrong with the phone, operator!
女人：接线员，接线员，这电话坏了，接线员！
(MRS. BRAND comes out on the porch.)
（布兰德夫人从屋里走出来，来到门廊上。）
Mrs. Brand: (calling) Steve, the power's off. I had the soup on the stove, and the stove just stopped working.
布兰德夫人：（喊道）史蒂夫，停电了。我还在炉子上煮着汤呢，可炉子突然没电了。
