  6. The only other ship to match her was the Thermopylae.

  唯一可以与之一比高低的是“塞姆皮雷”号帆船。

  语言点:句子结构分析:主语ship前有三个修饰词,它们的排列顺序符合多个修饰词修饰同一名词的规律。

  7.Both these ships set out from Shanghai on June 18th, 1872 on an exciting race to England.

  两船于1872年 6月18日同时从上海启航驶往英国,途中展开了一场激烈的比赛。

  语言点1:句子结构分析:both these ships相当于both of these ships,强调是“两艘船”。

  语言点2:“set out from+somewhere+on+时间”为固定搭配,意为“某时从某地出发”。

  8.This race, which went on for exactly four months, was the last of its kind.

  这场比赛持续了整整4个月,是这类比赛中的最后一次。

  语言点:句子结构分析:which引导非限制性定语从句,对“比赛”进行修饰,说明是“持续了4个月的比赛”,for exactly four months突出时间之久。

  9.It marked the end of the great tradition of ships with sails and the beginning of a new era.

  它标志着帆船伟大传统的结束与一个新纪元的开始。

  语言点:句子结构分析:it指代上文中所说的race(比赛)。And连接两个并列的宾语—“结束”和“开始”。

  10.The first of the two ships to reach Java after the race had begun was the Thermopylae, but on the Indian Ocean, the Cutty Sark took the lead.

  比赛开始后,“赛姆皮雷”号率先抵达爪哇岛。但在印度洋上,“卡萨萨克”号驶到了前面。

  语言点:take the lead的意思为“领先,带头”。应特别注意的是,短语中的lead作名词用,不作动词。

  11.It seemed certain that she would be the first ship home, but during the race she had a lot of bad luck.

  看来,它首先返抵英国是确信无疑的了,但它却在比赛中连遭厄运。

  语言点:句子结构分析:it作形式主语,真正的主语是that引导的从句she would be the first ship home,即“它首先返抵英国是…的”

  12.In August, she was struck by a very heavy storm during which her rudder was torn away.

  8月份“卡蒂萨克”号遭到一场特大风暴的袭击,失去了一只舵。

  语言点:句子结构分析:during which为“介词+关系代词”的结构,引导定语从句,修饰storm,如果还原成during the storm…,则重复了storm,显得啰嗦,所以用which代替the storm。

  13. The Cutty Sark rolled from side to side and it became impossible to steer her.

  船身左右摇晃,无法操纵。

  语言点:roll form side to side不可理解为“从一边到另一边摇晃着”,正确的译法是“左右摇晃”,这样更符合汉语的表达习惯。

  14. A temporary rudder was made on board from spare planks and it was fitted with great difficulty.

  船员用备用的木板在船上赶制了一只应急用的舵,并克服重重困难将舵安装就位。

  语言点:句子结构分析:句中的temporary与spare均为“临时备用的”之意,此处是为了避免重复而使用了两个不同的词。With great difficulty充当was fitted的方式状语,意思是“安装起来很困难”。
