Stars after the storm
It's strange, but I don't really remember much about the hurricane itself. It all happened so quickly. [1]I was sitting in my room with my cat, Smartie, on my lap①, when the roof just flew off②.All of a sudden③, there was sky where the roof had been. I was so frightened that I just froze④.
[1]本句是“be doing...when...”句型,意为“正在做……,这时(突然)……”,when在此处作并列连词。
Mom cried to get out quickly, but it was already too late by then. The rain was coming down so hard and so fast. Our street turned into⑤ a river in seconds⑥. We were going nowhere⑦ .
At first, I was pleased we could stay at home, but soon it got really tough. Without a roof, staying inside was too dangerous. There was water everywhere, but we couldn't drink any of it otherwise⑧ we'd get really sick. We just had drinking water⑨ that was sent to us by helicopter⑩ , but it was never enough. It was August, so it was really, really hot and it smelled so bad everywhere! I just spent the days [2]watching the boats going up and down the street and looking out for⑪ Smartie. He had disappeared [3]the moment the storm hit.
[2]此处是“感官动词+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,going up and down the street和looking out for Smartie并列作宾语补足语,表示主动和正在进行的动作。
[3]此处是the moment引导的时间状语从句,意为“一……就……”。
[4]Living in the open air⑫, we became breakfast, lunch and dinner for the mosquitos⑬. [5]But Mom said that whatever happens, we should always try to see the good side of things⑭. It was difficult to stay positive⑮, though⑯. We had lost our home and everything in it, including Smartie. All we had left were the clothes on our backs. But as Mom kept on reminding⑰ us, we were all together and safe. Mom's words made us feel better. [6]I remember us all lying under the midnight⑱ sky and looking up at the stars. Because there were no lights, we could see the Big Dipper⑲, the Little Dipper⑳ and the Milky Way㉑. It was amazing! Even though we had lost a lot, moments like those gave us hope for the future.
[4]此处是动词ing形式作原因状语。
[5]本句是主从复合句。that引导宾语从句,作said的宾语;whatever happens是whatever引导的让步状语从句,whatever在从句中作主语。
[6]本句中lying under the midnight sky和looking up at the stars是两个并列的动词ing 形式,在句中作动词remember的宾语补足语;us是这两个动词ing形式的逻辑主语。
Although it was only a few days before we were rescued, it felt like months. We were taken to another town in a faraway㉒ county㉓. Thankfully㉔, Smartie came home just in time. We were so happy to take him with us, although then, none of us knew that we wouldn't be back for quite a while㉕.
Now, one year has passed and I'm back home in New Orleans. Some families have yet to㉖ return, but many others have come back. Although we are surrounded by㉗ reminders of the disaster, we are working together to rebuild our homes and our lives. Now we have another chance to look up at the stars of New Orleans, [7]their beauty inspiring us and giving us confidence to move on㉘.
[7]此处是独立主格结构,在句中作状语。
暴风雨后的星星
这很奇怪,但我真的不太记得那场飓风了。一切都发生得太快了。我正在自己的房间里坐着,我的猫斯玛蒂坐在我的腿上,这时屋顶突然不见了。突然之间,屋顶那里变成一片天空,我吓呆了。
妈妈大喊着让(我们)快点出去,但为时已晚。雨来得又大又急。街道很快就变成了一条河。我们无处可去。
一开始,我很高兴我们能够待在家里,但情况很快就变得十分困难。没有屋顶,待在屋内很危险。到处都是水,可我们一滴也不能喝,否则我们会染上重病。我们只有直升机送来的饮用水,可这根本不够。当时正值八月,天气极度炎热,到处都散发着特别难闻的气味!我只能整天看着小船在街上来来往往,寻找斯玛蒂。暴风雨来袭的时候,他就失踪了。
我们住在户外,成了蚊子的一日三餐。但妈妈说,无论发生什么,我们都应该尽力看到事情好的一面。然而,(在这种情况下)保持乐观很难。我们失去了房子和里面的一切,包括斯玛蒂。我们仅剩的就是身上的衣服。不过,正如妈妈不断提醒我们的那样,好在我们都还安全地待在一起。妈妈的话让我们好受了一些。我记得我们都躺在午夜的天空之下,仰望着星空。因为没有灯光,我们可以看到北斗七星、小北斗七星和银河。真是令人惊叹!虽然我们损失惨重,但这样的时刻给了我们对未来的希望。
虽然我们几天之后就得救了,但感觉就像是过了几个月。我们被带到了一个遥远的县上的另一座镇上。值得庆幸的是,斯玛蒂正好回来了。我们很开心带他和我们一起去(另一座镇上),尽管当时我们都不知道要很久以后才能回来。
现在,一年已经过去了,我也回到了新奥尔良的家中。有些家庭还没回来,不过很多其他家庭都已经回来了。尽管周围的一切都提醒着我们这里曾发生的灾难,但我们正齐心协力重建我们的家园和生活。现在,我们又有机会仰望新奥尔良的星空了,它们的美好激励着我们,给了我们继续前进的信心。
