THE REWARD FOR PERSEVERANCE
We watched as Shackleton and the boat sailed away from Elephant Island. It was easy to imagine the danger ahead of them. Would they ever return to find us? What might happen to them? What if they were delayed? We felt so alone and desperate. But it was not for long. There was nothing like a good dinner and some music to cheer us up.
远航
v.延期;耽搁
adj.令人绝望的
Background
Para. 1
12
Life fell into a regular pattern. Staying alive took all our time and energy. For example we needed water, and Elephant Island had none. We found that we could melt ice from the ocean and drink the water from it. But how could we make fire? There were no trees growing on Antarctica and no oil, so the only fuel we could use was animal fat. This gave off oily, black smoke, but it stayed burning even in strong winds.
What did the men eat and drink on the island?
Para. 2
The men ate the meat of sea creatures and drank water from melted ice.
adj.定期的;有规律的
n. 燃料
放出, 散发
Problems they faced
We had to be careful not to go outside too often, as the changing temperatures could make us ill. It was almost as dangerous to become too hot from wearing too many clothes as to become too cold from wearing too few. The sweat could freeze very quickly. Many of us also became ill from the black smoke of the animal fat we burnt for our fires. It damaged our eyes and burnt our lungs.
The dangers of living on the island were the changing temperatures and the black smoke from burning animal fat.
What were the dangers of living on the island?
Para. 3
Problems they faced
n. 温度, 气温
vt. & vi. (使)结冰
The twenty-two of us lived like this in the cold for four months. Our discipline and team spirit kept us optimistic and helped us deal with our fears in a positive and successful way. We also celebrated our birthdays, festivals, and even the times when we caught a sea animal. This was an episode in my life that I would never forget.
The men stayed in good spirits by being disciplined and staying positive. They celebrated birthdays, festivals, and every time when they caught a sea animal.
How did the men stay in good spirits while waiting to be rescued?
n. 纪律
adj. 乐观主义的
n. 插曲
Things that helped
Para. 4
When we were finally rescued, we felt such relief and joy that many of us could not hide our tears. We were at last free to go home to warm beds, good food, and the care of our family and friends Our optimism and faith in Shackleton had helped us persevere in staying alive. And he paid us back by his commitment to save us from a slow but painful death.
I think the key reasons for their survival were their discipline and positive mental attitude, as well as the reliability of Shackleton.
What do you think were the key reasons for their survival?
vt. 营救;援救
n. 安慰
n. 信心;信任
坚持不懈
n. 承诺;保证
