不要直译,
Do you remember what you were doing
People often remember what they were doing when they heard the news of important events in history.In the United States,for example,many people remember what they were doing on April 4,1968.This was one of the most important events in modern American history.On this day,Dr Martin Luther King was killed in the city of Memphis in America.Although some people may not remember who murdered him,they remember what they were doing when they heard about the event.
Even the most everyday activities can seem important.Robert Allen is now over 40.He was just a student at that time,but he remembers what he was doing when he heard the news.“It was a bright,sunny day.” Robert remembers.“We were having fun in the playground when the bell rang.Our teacher asked us to stop what we were doing and listen.He told us the news:‘Dr Martin Luther King died just 10 minutes ago!’ We couldn’t believe it!” School closed for the day,and Robert and his friends walked home together in silence.
Dr Martin Luther King’ s murder took place about thirty years ago,before many Americans were born.However,in more recent times,most Americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center in New York was destroyed by terrorists.Even the date----September 11,2001----has meaning to most Americans.
Not all events in history are as terrible as this,of course.Many Americana also say they remember what they were doing when man first walked on the moon on July 20,1969.In more recent history,most Chinese remember what they were doing when Yang Liwei became the first Chinese astronaut in space.Yang went into space on October 15,2003.His flight around the Earth lasted about 22 hours.When he returned,he became a national hero in China,and became famous all over the world.

你记得你以前某个时间正在做什么吗?
人们通常记得他们在听到历史上大事件的时候正在做什么.例如,在美国,许多人记得他们在1968年4月4日正在做什么.这一天发生了美国现代历史上最重要的一件事.这一天,马丁.路德.金博士在美国的孟菲斯市被杀害.尽管人们也许不记得谁是凶手,但是他们一定会记得,当时听到这个消息时他们正在做什么.
似乎最平常的事也显得很重要而被记住.Robert Allen 现在已经40多岁了.他那时候只是一个学生,但是他记得当时他正在做什么.“那天天气晴朗”Robert回忆道“我们在操场上玩得正高兴时铃响了,老师让我们停止玩耍认真听着,他告诉我们‘马丁.路德.金博士10分钟之前死了!’我们真的不能相信.”学校因为这天关门了.我和朋友们在回家的路上一片沉默.
马丁.路德.金博士的遇刺案发生在三十多年前,那时许多美国人还没有出生.然而,在更近一段时间里,许多美国人记得当恐怖分子袭击世贸大楼时他们正在做什么.甚至2011年9月11日这个日子对大多数美国人来说都意义深远.
当然,并不是历史上所有事件都如此恐怖.许多人说他们也记得在1969年7月20日人类第一次踏上月球时他们正在做什么.在更近的一段历史中,许多中国人记得当杨利伟成为第一个成功飞往太空的中国宇航员时他们正做的事情.杨在2003年10月15日飞往太空.他绕地球飞行长达22小时.当他返回时,他成为了中国的英雄,并且闻名于世界.
