Nobody knows when or how, but one day that cheese mysteriously appeared on the blacktop.

没人知道那怎么来的，有一天那块起司就在那里出现了。

That piece of Cheese has been sitting on the blacktop since last spring.

那块奶酪自开春以来就一直呆在那条柏油路上。

It took about five seconds for someone to realize the Cheese was missing from its spot on the blacktop.

过了五秒钟，才有人反应过来：沥青地上的“千年奶酪”不翼而飞。

My head cracked against the icy blacktop, and I felt something solid and cold pinning me to the ground.

我的头砰的一声磕在了冰冷的沥青路面上，感觉有某样硬而冷的东西把我压在了地上。

The Cheese was only a few feet from where we were standing on the blacktop, and it was looking nastier than ever.

“千年奶酪”离我们站的地方只有几英尺远。它看上去比以往更让人恶心。

I said I was sick of it being on the blacktop, and I just decided to get rid of it once and for all.

我说，看到它粘在地上我就烦了，所以我决定将它彻底清理干净，一劳永逸。

Our lives have been planned along a road grid-homes far from work, shopping far from everything, with ugly stretches of concrete and blacktop in between.

我们的生活已沿着公路网展开，丑陋地延伸在混凝土和柏油路之间，家远离单位、购物远离一切。

When he got to the highway he slowed and rattled over the bars of the cattleguard and then pulled out onto the blacktop and turned on the headlights.

当他到达高速公路时， 他放慢了速度， 嘎嘎地越过护牛栏杆， 然后把车开到柏油路上， 打开了前灯。

I don't know what kind of hocus-pocus they teach in Rowley's karate classes, but the last thing I needed was for him to lay me out right there on the blacktop.

我不清楚罗利的空手道教练交了什么装模作样的把式，总之我绝对不能让罗利当场把我打趴在地上。

Then I was around the hill on the blacktop and in another country. In five minutes I turned into the driveway of the Wades' house, parked and walked across the flagstones and rang the bell.

然后我在柏油路和另一个国家的山上转了一圈。五分钟后，我拐进韦德家的车道，停好车，走过石板路，按响了门铃。
