English Original
Between my first and second ski lessons, I was practicing on the beginners' slope at Mammoth Mountain in California. I began to pick up speed, and suddenly I realized I had forgotten how to stop. That same moment, I saw a young couple standing motionless directly in my path. "Look out! Get out of my way!" I yelled.
They did not heed my warning, and a moment later the three of us were up to our ears in snow. As we were untangling poles and recovering skis, I apologized, explaining that I did not know how to stop.
"That's okay, ma'am," said the young man. "We didn't know how to move."

在第一次和第二次滑雪课之间，我正在加利福尼亚州猛犸山的初学者坡道上练习。我开始加速，突然意识到自己忘了怎么停下来。就在那一刻，我看到一对年轻情侣一动不动地站在我的正前方。“小心！让开！”我大喊。
他们没有留意我的警告，片刻之后，我们三人就深陷雪中。当我们清理滑雪杖、找回滑雪板时，我道了歉，解释说我不知道如何停下。
“没关系，女士，”那位年轻人说。“我们也不知道怎么动。”
