A SEA STORY
About three years ago,something terrible happened to me.That was the day when it took only six hours to break my body and soul ① . [1] You think I am a very old man—but I am not.It took less than a single day to change my hair from black to white.
One day,my two brothers and I were coming back from the islands where we often risked ② going [2] and got more fish than others.All at once③,the sky was covered with dark clouds and in less than a minute we were in a terrible storm.A huge wave covered our boat and my younger brother fell into the sea.My elder brother put his mouth close to my ear and cried out“Moskoe-strom!”The moment I heard the word I became very frightened ④ . [3] I knew what he meant by that one word well enough. [4]
[1]此处为when引导的定语从句,修饰先行词the day;从句中it作形式主语,真正的主语是to break my body and soul。从句使用了句型it takes/took(sb) some time to do sth“(某人)花费时间做某事”。
[2] where引导定语从句,修饰先行词the islands。
[3]本句中The moment引导时间状语从句,相当于 as soon as。
[4]本句中what引导宾语从句,作动词knew的宾语,what在从句中作meant的宾语。
With the wind and waves,we were going in the direction of⑤ the whirlpool.We were hopeless⑥.Nothing could save us.I felt sick⑦,as if I was falling from a mountain top in a dream [5].We went round and round⑧,nearer and nearer to the horrible⑨ edge of the whirlpool.It may appear strange,but at that moment,when we were on the edge of⑩ the whirlpool,I felt calmer⑪ than when we were moving towards it.I began to think how amazing a thing it was to die in such a way,and how wonderful it was to see the power of nature . [6] Suddenly,we went over the edge.I thought my life was over.But moment after moment passed,and I was still safe.
学生用书第54页
[5]画线部分为as if引导的方式状语从句。
[6] 本句中主句为I began to think,两个how均引导宾语从句,作动词think的宾语。
The boat was on the inside of the huge whirlpool and we were going round in circles at great speed.I saw clearly that there were other objects in the whirlpool—trees and barrels.After a while,I became curious about the whirlpool itself.I then made three important observations.The first,the larger the bodies were,the more rapidly they fell;[7] the second,between two objects of equal extent,round objects fell down more rapidly;and the third,between two objects of the same size,objects shaped like a tube [8] fell down more slowly.So I tied myself to a barrel to help me float.I tried to make my brother understand,but he was too frightened and stayed in the heavy boat.Without waiting,I jumped into the sea to try and escape.
[7]此处为“the+比较级...,the+比较级...”结构,意为“越……,就越……”。
[8]此处shaped like a tube是动词-ed形式短语作后置定语,修饰名词objects。
As you can see,the reason why I'm here to tell the story is that I made the right decision.Some time after I left the boat,with my brother in it,it was pulled into the bottom of the whirlpool.Soon after that,the whirlpool became less wild.Then the sky was clear,the wind calmer,and the moon was shining.I was still tied to the barrel and the waves soon carried me to an area where the other fishermen were.In the end,a boat picked me up.I was very tired.The fishermen were my old friends,but they were unable to recognise me.When I told them my story,they did not believe it.Now I have told you,and I cannot expect you to believe me any more than the fishermen did.[9]
[9]该句中than引导比较状语从句。

一个海上的故事
大约3年前,我遭遇了一件极其可怕的事情。那天,仅仅6个小时的时间我的身心遭遇了重创。你会觉得我年纪已长,但事实并非如此。我只是在不到一天的时间里,满头黑发尽数变白。
一天,我和哥哥弟弟从我们经常去探险的岛屿返回,抓的鱼比其他人都多。突然,天空被乌云笼罩,刹那间,我们就被卷入了可怕的风暴中。一个巨浪淹没了我们的船,弟弟掉进了海里。哥哥把嘴贴近我耳边大喊:“大旋涡!”一听到这个词,我就感到恐惧万分。我非常清楚他说的那个词所代表的意义。
学生用书第55页
在巨风猛浪的裹挟下,我们朝着旋涡的方向移动。我们绝望了。谁也救不了我们。我感到一阵恶心,仿佛梦里从山顶坠落。我们一圈又一圈地转动着,越来越靠近那个可怕的旋涡边缘。这么说可能显得奇怪,不过那个时候,当我们处在旋涡边缘时,我反而比向旋涡移动时更平静。我不禁开始思考,以这种方式死去是多么令人难以置信的事啊,能看到大自然的力量是多么美妙啊。突然,我们越过了边缘。我想,我的生命结束了。但是时间一分一秒地流逝着,我依旧安然无恙。
船只进入巨大的旋涡,我们开始高速旋转。我清楚地看到,旋涡里还有其他东西——大树和桶。过了一会儿,我对旋涡本身变得好奇起来。然后我有了三个重要发现。第一,物体越大,它们下落得就越快;第二,两个大小相等的物体,圆形物体下落得较快;第三,两个同等大小的物体,圆管形的物体下落得较慢。于是,我把自己绑在一只桶上,好让自己漂浮起来。我试图让哥哥也能明白这一点,但他实在太害怕了,坚持留在笨重的船上。没等多久,我一跃跳进海里,试图逃生。
如你所见,我还能在这里讲述这个故事,就是因为我做了正确的决定。我从船上跳下之后,哥哥还在上面,过了一段时间,船被吸入旋涡底部。此后不久,旋涡变得温和了。然后天气晴朗,风平浪静,月亮也明亮起来。我人还绑在桶上,很快,海浪把我带到其他渔民所在的地方。最后,一条船上的人把我救了起来。我疲惫极了。这些渔民都是我的老朋友了,却没能认出我来。我向他们讲述自己的故事时,他们并不相信。现在,我又将这段经历告诉了你们,我并不指望你们能比那些渔民更相信我。
