Lesson12 荒島生活
Uninhabited Island
?
?
我們?cè)S多人對(duì)于荒島生活有一種不切實(shí)際的想法。
Many of us have an unpractical method to life ? on uninhabited island.
?
?
?
?
我們有時(shí)想象荒島是陽(yáng)光終日普照的天堂。
?
?
?
Sometime we imaging that the barren island is an all-day sunshine heaven.
?
?
?
在那里,生活簡(jiǎn)單又美好。
Lives there is simple and fine.
?
?
成熟的水果從樹上掉下來(lái),人們根本無(wú)需勞動(dòng)。
Ripe fruit falling from the trees, people ? completely have no need to labour.
?
?
另一種想法恰恰相反,
The other opinion is just opposite from ? this,
?
?
認(rèn)為荒島生活很可怕,
which deemed that lives on barren island ? is horrible,
?
?
要么餓死,要么像魯濱孫那樣,
people will either starving or living ? like Robinson.
?
?
天天盼船來(lái),卻總沒(méi)見船影。
expected to the ship’s come but never ? discover it.
?
?
也許,這兩種想像都有可信之處。
Perhaps both of these images have aspects ? worth to believe in.
?
?
但很少有人能有機(jī)會(huì)去弄個(gè)究竟。
But there seldom people have a chance to ? figure it out.
?
?
最近有兩個(gè)人在一座珊瑚島上呆了5天,他們真希望在那兒再多呆一些日子。
?
?
?
Nowadays, there were two people stayed on a coral island for 5 days, they really hope to stay some more days there.
?
?
?
他們駕著一條嚴(yán)重?fù)p壞的小船從維爾京群島阿密修理。
?
?
?
They were boating on a heavily destroyed boat from Virgin Island to Miami for repairing.
?
?
?
途中,船開始下沉,
During the route, the boat started to sink.
?
?
他們迅速把食物、火柴、罐裝啤酒往一只救生筏上裝。然后在加勒比海上劃行了幾英里,到了一座珊瑚島上。
They loaded food, matches and canned beer ? on a life raft rapidly. Then they sailed a few miles on the Carrabin Sea and ? reached a coral island.
?
?
?
?
?
?
島上幾乎沒(méi)有一顆樹,也沒(méi)有淡水,
There were almost no trees and no ? freshwater on the island,
?
?
但這不算什么問(wèn)題。
but this is not a problem.
?
?
他們用橡皮艇蓄積雨水。
They accumulate rain water with the rubber ? boat.
?
?
由于他們隨身帶了一支捕魚槍,因此,吃飯不愁。
Because they had took a spear gun with ? them, they have no pressure on eating.
?
?
他們天天捕捉龍蝦和魚,
They caught fish and lobsters every day.
?
?
正如其中一位所說(shuō),吃得“像國(guó)王一樣好”。
As one of them said, eating “as well as ? king”.
?
?
5天后,一條油輪從那兒路過(guò),搭救了他們。這二位不得不離開那個(gè)荒島時(shí),還真的感到遺憾呢!
?
?
?
5 days later, a tank past there and rescued them. As these two had to left that barren island, they even really felt a pity!
