Lesson 1 shipboard everyday life（船上的日常生活）

I Warming-up (预热)

Read the diary by Captain Keith Townley.

The ship is nearly full but there is room for a bit more cargo before crossing the pacific to Los Angeles. Our last call here will be Yokohama, Japan.

Good news. The pilot boarding time has been changed from 0600 to 0800 which is a bit more civilized and means there will be a chance for breakfast as well.

0930 all fast in Yokohama. A nice day with a straight forward pilotage and a simple berth approach. Very cautious pilot-pleasantly common in Japan-and although sometimes a few minutes slower, undoubtedly much safer.

1430 everything done, paperwork too, so we can set sail for the US. Looking forward to ten days at sea though the weather predictions are not looking too good.

Questions for discussion

1.What is the ship’s last call of the voyage?

2.Why is the captain happy that the pilot boarding time has been changed?

3.What does the captain think of the Japanese pilots in general?

4.What is the ship’s next port of call?

阅读船长基思·汤利的日记。

跨越太平洋到洛杉矶之前，船几乎是满的，但仍有空间可装多一点的货。我们最后停靠将是日本横滨。

好消息。引水登船时间已经从0600改变为0800 ，这比较合理，也意味着将有吃早餐的一次机会。

0930在横滨全部系妥。这是直通引航和简单靠泊的美好的一天，在日本,非常谨慎的引航员通常令人满意，虽然有时慢几分钟，但无疑是更安全的。

1430一切工作都做好了，记录工作也完成了，所以我们可以起航至美国。预期在海上10天，然而天气预报看上去不算太好。

供讨论的问题

1。船舶航次中的最后停靠是什么？

2。引航员登船时间已经改变，船长为什么高兴？

3。船长通常认为日本引航员如何？

4。船舶的下一个停靠港是什么？

II Reading Aloud(朗读)

Dear Seafarer,

In naming 2010 “The Year of the Seafarer”, I express the hope that when, at the end of the year, we took stock of what we achieved, we would be able to say that 2010 did, indeed, make a difference to the lives of seafarers.

We had three main objectives: to increase awareness among the general public of the indispensable services you render to international seaborne trade, the world economy and society at large; to send a clear message to you that we recognize and appreciate your services; that we understand the extraordinary conditions and circumstances of your profession; that we do care about you, that we do all that we can to look after and protect you when the circumstances of your life at sea so warrant; and to redouble our efforts at a regulatory level to create a better, safer and more secure world in which you can operate.

Answer the following questions according to the passage you read:

1.Which year is the year of the seafarer?

2.What did the speaker hope to see in 2010?

3.What were their objectives in 2010? List some in your own words.

care about这个短语动词作“介意”讲，而care for这个短语动词如作“想要”讲，多半要用于否定和疑问两种结构；如作“看管”或“护理”讲，则没有这一限制。
