回答范例：
Last winter, I had a memorable experience when the bus I was traveling on broke down during a weekend trip to a nearby ski resort. My university friends and I had planned this short getaway to relax and enjoy some fun in the snow after our midterm exams. The ski resort was situated in the mountains about two hours away from our campus, so we decided to take a coach bus that offered a direct route.
去年冬天，我有一次难忘的经历，当时我乘坐的公共汽车在周末前往附近的滑雪胜地时抛锚了。我和我的大学朋友们计划了这次短暂的假期，在期中考试后在雪地里放松身心，享受一些乐趣。滑雪场位于离我们校园大约两个小时路程的山区，所以我们决定乘坐提供直达路线的长途汽车。
About halfway through the journey, on a winding mountain road, the bus suddenly started making strange noises and eventually came to a complete stop. The driver quickly discovered there was a mechanical issue with the engine and announced that we would have to wait for a replacement bus. At first, my friends and I felt a bit anxious and annoyed, as we had been looking forward to reaching the resort on time.
大约行驶到一半时，在一条蜿蜒的山路上，公共汽车突然发出奇怪的声音，最终完全停了下来。司机很快发现发动机有机械问题，并宣布我们必须等待更换巴士。起初，我和我的朋友们感到有点焦虑和恼火，因为我们一直期待着准时到达度假村。
However, this unexpected breakdown turned into a surprisingly memorable part of our trip. Since we were stuck, we got off the bus and wandered around the picturesque area. We found a small roadside café, where we warmed up with hot tea and chatted with some fellow passengers, who turned out to be quite friendly. We bonded over our shared predicament, laughing about our unfortunate luck and even playing a few card games to pass the time.
然而，这次意外的失败变成了我们旅行中令人难忘的一部分。因为我们被困住了，我们下了车，在风景如画的地区闲逛。我们找到了一家路边的小咖啡馆，在那里我们用热茶取暖，并与一些乘客聊天，结果他们很友好。我们因共同的困境而团结在一起，嘲笑我们不幸的运气，甚至玩了一些纸牌游戏来打发时间。
Although we arrived at the ski resort much later than anticipated, the breakdown ended up being a chance to experience camaraderie with strangers and my own friends in an unexpected setting. It reminded me that travel mishaps can lead to unique encounters and stories, which, in hindsight, often become the highlights of a journey.
虽然我们到达滑雪胜地的时间比预期的要晚得多，但这次失败最终是一个在意想不到的环境中与陌生人和我自己的朋友体验友情的机会。它提醒我，旅行中的意外可能会导致独特的遭遇和故事，事后看来，这些往往成为旅程的亮点。
