Erratic

9月26日下午兩點，F(xiàn)1中國大獎賽決賽在上海進行，20輛F1賽車的馬達同時轟鳴，上演了風(fēng)馳電掣般的速度大戰(zhàn)。經(jīng)過激烈的角逐，法拉利車隊的巴里切羅最終以1小時29分12秒420的成績奪得F1中國大獎賽的首位冠軍。英美車隊的巴頓依靠兩次進站的戰(zhàn)術(shù)成功獲得了亞軍，邁凱倫車隊的雷克南排名第三。外電有這樣的報道： 2003 saw a drop in Rubens' performances and his finishing position in the Drivers' Championship, despite team orders not coming into play throughout the year. Although he clinched two victories, and six other podium finishes, his performances were erratic and the season yielded only 65 points, leaving him down in fourth place. However, it was all smiles at Ferrari when Rubens won the season-ending Japanese race and helped his teammate to secure the Drivers' title and Ferrari the Constructors'. Now the Brazilian reckons 2004 could finally be the year in which he not only out-races his teammate but wins his first World Championship. 報道中提到，巴里切羅去年的表現(xiàn)雖然不錯，但很不穩(wěn)定。Erratic表示“不穩(wěn)定的，無規(guī)律的，反復(fù)無常的”，例如：The singer gave an erratic performance.（這個歌手沒唱出自己的水平。）Erratic用做名詞時，還表示古怪的人, 乖僻的人，或漂泊無定的人。 （中國日報網(wǎng)站編）
