  Lesson 12 Life on a Desert Island

  第12课 荒岛生活

  Most of us have formed an unrealistic picture of life on a desert island.

  我们许多人对于荒岛生活有一种不切实际的想法。

  (form 形成)

  We sometimes imagine a desert island to be a sort of paradisewhere the sun always shines.

  我们有时想象荒岛是阳光终日普照的天堂。

  (imagine sth to be 把...想象成...)

  Life there is simple and good.

  在那里,生活简单又美好。

  Ripe fruit falls from the trees

  and you never have to work.

  成熟的水果从树上掉下来,人们根本无需劳动。

  The other side of the picture is quite the opposite.

  Life on a desert island is wretched.

  You either starve to death or live like Robinson Crusoe,

  waiting for a boat which never comes.

  另一种想法恰恰相反,

  认为荒岛生活很可怕,

  要么饿死,要么像鲁滨孙那样,

  天天盼船来,却总没见船影。

  Perhaps there is an element of truth in both these pictures,

  but few us have had the opportunity to find out.

  也许,这两种都像都有可信之处。

  但很少有人能有机会去弄个究竟。

  (element of 少许)

  Two men (who recently spent five days on a coral island) 定语从句

  wished they had stayed there longer.

  最近有两个人在一座珊瑚岛上呆了5 天,

  他们真希望在那儿再多呆一些日子。

  (wish的用法,大家可以自行查下哦)

  They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Islands to Miami to have it repaired.

  他们驾着一条严重损坏的小船从维尔京群岛阿密修理。

  (have sth done 的用法一定要注意,动作的发出者不是主语,而宾语是动作的承受者)

  During the journey, their boat began to sink.

  They quickly loaded a small rubber dinghy with food, matches, and cans of beer

  and rowed for a few miles across the Caribbean

  until they arrived at a tiny coral island.

  途中,船开始下沉,

  他们迅速把食物、火柴、罐装啤酒往一只救生筏上装。

  然后在加勒比海上划行了几英里,

  到了一座小珊瑚岛上。

  There were hardly any trees on the island

  and there was no water,

  but this did not prove to be a problem.

  岛上几乎没有一颗树,

  也没有淡水,

  但这不算什么问题.

  (hardly 表示否定)

  The men collected rainwater in the rubber dinghy.

  他们用像皮艇蓄积雨水。

  As they had brought a spear gun with them,

  they had plenty to eat.

  由于他们随身带了一支捕鱼枪,

  因此,吃饭不愁。

  (spear 矛、枪)

  They caught lobster and fish every day,

  and, as one of them put it 'ate like kings'.

  他们天天捕捉龙虾和鱼,

  正如其中一位所说,吃得“像国王一样好”。

  When a passing tanker rescued them five days later,

  both men were genuinely sorry that they had to leave.

  5 天后,一条油轮从那儿路过,搭救了他们。

  这二位不得不离开那个荒岛时,还真的感到遗憾呢!
