荒岛生活

Lesson12 Life on a desert islan 荒岛生活新概念3课文内容：

Most of us have formed an unrealistic picture of life on a desert island. We sometimes imagine a desert island to be a sort of paradise where the sun always shines. Life there is simple and good. Ripe

fruit falls from the trees and you never have to work. The other side of the picture is quite the opposite. Life on a desert island is wretched. You either starve to death or live like Robinson Crusoe, Waiting for a boat which never comes. Perhaps there is an element of truth in both these pictures, but few us have had the opportunity to find out. Two men who recently spent five days on a coral island wished they had stayed there longer. They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Islands to Miami to have it repaired. During the journey, their boat began to sink. They quickly loaded a small rubber dinghy with food, matches, and cans of beer and rowed for a few miles across the Caribbean until they arrived at a tiny coral island. There were hardly any trees on the island and there was no water, but this did not prove to be a problem. The men collected rainwater in the rubber dinghy. As they had brought a spear gun with them, they had plenty to eat. They caught lobster and fish every day，and, as one of them put it 'ate like kings'. When a passing tanker rescued them five days later, both men were genuinely sorry that they had to leave.

人既兴奋又开心。写作2:Life in Hangzhou of China is comfortable and joyous. 在中国杭州的生活是舒适而快乐的。 4. Ripe fruit falls from the trees and you never have to work. 成熟的水果从树上掉下来，人们根本无需劳动。语言点:句子结构分析:and并列连接两个想象中

“岛上生活”的样子。 5. The other side of the picture is quite the opposite. 另一种想法恰恰相反。语言点1:句子结构分析:这是一个典型的“主系表”结构的句子。语言点2:这是一个很好的表示转折

的句子，比使用however,but,still要好得多，显得不那么生硬。 6.

Life on a desert island is wretched. 认为荒岛生活很可怕。语言点1:句子结构分析:On a desert island作life的定语。语言点2:语言学习重在模仿，根据这个例句，我们也可以仿照它写出极具美感的好句子，例如: Life on desert island is hard. 荒岛生活颇为艰苦。7. You either starve to death or live like Robinson Crusoe, Waiting for a boat which never comes. 要么饿死，要么像鲁滨孙那样，天天盼船来，却总没见船影。语言点1:句子结构分析:like Robinson Crusoe作方式状语，修饰动词Live。Waiting for a boat…作伴随状语，其中的which引导定语从句，修饰boat。语言点2:either…or…的意思是“要么…要么…”。Starve to death的意思是“饿死”。8. Perhaps there is an element of truth in both these pictures, but few us have had the opportunity to find out. 也许，这两种都像都有可信之处。但很少有人能有机会去弄个究竟。语言点:句子结构分析:这句话是there be句型，非常恰当地对上文进行了总结。9.

析:during the journey作时间状语，说明船是在什么时候沉没的。语言点2:to sink是动词不定式，作began的宾语。12. They quickly loaded a small rubber dinghy with food, matches, and cans of beer and rowed for a few miles across the Caribbean until they arrived at a tiny coral island. 他们迅速把食物、火柴、罐装啤酒往一只救生筏上装。然后在加勒比海上划行了几英里，到了一座珊瑚岛上。语言点1:句

子结构分析:until引导时间状语从句，这句话真实地记录了这两个人在船沉后做的事情。语言点2:load with sth.的意思是“装载某物”。Unload sth.from somewhere的意思是“从某地卸下某物”。Upload的意思是“上传”。Download的意思是“下载”。13. There were hardly any trees on the island and there was no water, but this did not prove to be a problem. 岛上几乎没有一颗树，也没有淡水，但这不算什么问题。
