It was pretty plain to see, though, that he was already dead. Althoughthe paramedics did everything they could, they weren't able to bring him back to life. What had started out as a fun morning for everyone had taken ona bit of a darker hue. It seemed,though,that almost no one who had run the race knew him personally, so while there was plenty of concern among the runners, there was not a whole lot of mourning. Besides, when they put him into the ambulanceand took him away, none of the paramedics actually told us that he was dead, so nobody really knew for sure.

显然，那个人已经死了。尽管医务人员尽了全力，但还是不能使他苏醒过来。这个本来充满欢乐的早上蒙上了一层阴霾。看起来，参加比赛的人都不认识他，因此尽管参赛者们相当关心这件事，却并没有太多人为他感到悲痛。而且，当他被送上救护车时，没有一个医务人员确切地告诉我们他已经死去，所以没有人确切知道他的生死。
