Background information of the story
An introduction to the following passage
The author intends to tell us the amazing scenery under the sea.
阳光可以照到了海面下三十英尺的地方,这股力量使我震惊。阳光轻易地穿透水层,把水中的颜色驱散,我能清楚地分辨出了150码以内的物体。在这个距离之外,颜色变深,呈现出深蓝色的阴影,逐渐消失了。真的,环绕在我周围的水仿佛不过是一种气体,虽然密度比地上的空气大,但清澈程度几乎和地上空气一样。头顶上是平静的海面,脚下的沙地又细又平,并不像平坦的海滩会随着海浪而褶皱。这种炫人眼目的地毯简直是一个反射器,把太阳光强烈地反射出去,光线所经之处的每个水分子都因此而振动。如果说在海面以下30英尺的地方,我能像在明亮的日光下一样看得清清楚楚,会有人相信吗?
How does Jules Verne describe the undersea adventure so vividly?
Language appreciation
Use adjectives and adverbs to add more details.
As you said, Jules Verne used a lot of adjectives and adverbs. And In deed we can use adjectives and adverbs to add details. Let’s see one example.

Descriptive techniques
this dazzling carpet
wonderful intensity
Ok, just find the sentence that describe this view. The word “dazzling” really describes the sparkling sight caused by the sun rays penetrating the water right? And this magical word ”wonderful”, can you imagine use “wonderful” do describe intensity? So we need to get really creative when using words.
29
Use comparison to describe unfamiliar experiences.
Let’s read these sentences together. Now what writing technique is used in these sentences?
Which two objects are compared? The author compared the water with the air, and compared the sand on the sea floor to the sand on the beach, right? What’s the advantage of making comparisons?
It helps us to imagine something new based on its connection with what we’re familiar with.
30
fine shades of dark blue
fine, even sand
wrinkled, as on a flat shore, which keeps the impression of the waves
Use simile/metaphor (比喻) to create a vivid image.
Descriptive techniques
And apparently, these two sentences involves the use of figurative speech. Let’s look at the first one, so this is a picture of a nut with shell, can you imagine what the helmet look like? It looks like this, don’t they look just like the same? So use figurative speech to create an image.
