Why or why not? 撞击到... 尽我所能向远处游 到...时候 筋疲 After our ship crashed against the rock, I swam as far as I could. By the time I finally felt land under my feet, I was 力尽 tired out. I walked for about half a mile. Then I lay down on the grass and fell asleep. 醒来 I woke up as the sun was rising, but I found I could not move. My arms, legs and hair were tied to the ground! 向下看 Then I felt something on my leg. It moved up over my stomach and neck until it was standing near my face. I looked down and saw a very small man. He was just the same size as my middle finger! Where was I? Who was this tiny person? Soon more small men started climbing all over me. There were around 40 of them. I shouted at them—the loud 摔倒 noise made some of them fall over. However, they soon got up again and continued moving across my body. One of these small men began talking to me, but I could not understand him. I did not know what to say either. I tried to break free but only managed to pull one hand out of the ropes. When I lifted my left hand into the air, the small 一大群.... 径直向我走来 men began to shout. I looked down and saw a huge army of tiny people. They were coming straight towards me. “I must 逃离 run away from them,” I thought, but I did not know how to get away. 【译文】 我们的船撞到礁石后，我奋力向前游去。等我终于感觉到脚下的陆地时，我已经筋疲力尽了。我走了大约半英里，然后躺在草地上睡着了。 太阳升起时我醒了过来，却发现自己动弹不得 —— 我的胳膊、腿和头发都被绑在了地上！ 接着我感觉到有东西在我的腿上，它慢慢爬上我的肚子和脖子，最后停在我脸旁。我低头一看，发现了一个非常矮小的人，他只有我的中指那么高！我在哪里？这个小人是谁？ 很快更多的小人开始爬到我身上，大约有 40 个。我朝他们大喊 —— 巨大的声响让其中一些人摔倒了，但他们很快又爬起来，继续在我身上移动。 其中一个小人开始跟我说话，可我完全听不懂，我也不知道该说什么。我试图挣脱，却只把一只手从绳索中抽了出来。当我把左手举到空中时，小人们开始尖叫。我低头一看，看到了一支庞大的小人军队，他们正径直朝我冲来。“我必须从他们身边逃走，” 我想，可我不知道该怎么脱身。 【注意】 · as fast as I could = 我拼尽全力地快（侧重个人能力）， 主语必须是人，而且强调我当时的能力极限 · as fast as possible = 尽快（侧重事情本身，通用），可以是人、事、物，强调客观上尽快 只有主语是 I，且语境明显是 “我尽力” 时可以互换。 【基础巩固】 一、根据首字母或汉语提示完成单词。 1.
