Lesson 86 文本  Out of control As the man tried to swing the speed-boat round, the steering-wheel came away in his hands. He waved desperately to his companion, who had been water-skiing for the last fifteen minutes. Both men had hardly had time to realize what was happening when they were thrown violent1y into the sea. The speed-boat had struck a buoy, but it continued to move very quickly across the water. Both men had just begun to swim towards the shore when they noticed with dismay that the speed-boat was moving in a circle. It now came straight towards them at tremendous speed. In less than a minute, it roared past them only a few feet away. After it had passed, they swam on as quickly as they could because they knew that the boat would soon return. They had just had enough time to swim out of danger when the boat again completed a circle. On this occasion, however, it had slowed down considerably. The petrol had nearly all been used up. Before long, the noise dropped completely and the boat began to drift gently across the water. 文本解析 一）词汇学习Word study 1. swing vt. , vi. （1）（使……）摆动/摇动：He can't stand those who swing their legs while eating.他受不了吃东西时晃腿的那些人。She tried to swing the baby to sleep.她试图把孩子摇得睡着。 （2）突然转向，使……转向/转身：The man tried to swing the speedboat round.那人试图让快艇转弯。He swung round and looked at the two men.他突然掉转身，看着那两个人。 2. enough与fairly enough表示“足够”，用在形容词或副词之后，有“为了某种目的”的含义；fairly表示“相当”，通常修饰表示肯定意义的词：I'm old enough to know what I'm doing.我已经大了，知道自己在干什么。We haven't got enough time/chairs.我们没有足够的时间/椅子。I didn't arrive at the station early enough.我到车站到得不够早。（我误了火车。enough指结果）They had just had enough time to swim out of danger.他们刚刚来得及游出危险区。（enough既可用于名词前，也可用于名词后）The water in the pool is fairly warm, but not warm enough to swim in.池里的水相当暖和，但如要游泳则还不够暖。He is fairly quick, but not quick enough to take part in the race.他跑得相当快，但要参加比赛还不够快。 二）课文详注 Further notes on the text 1.
