[00:01.080] | --- lesson 12 Life on a desert island |
[00:07.280] | --- Listen to the tape then answer the question below. |
[00:13.040] | --- What was exceptional about the two men's stay on the desert island? |
[00:19.960] | Most of us have formed an unrealistic picture of life on a desert island. |
[00:25.880] | We sometimes imagine a desert island to be a sort of paradise where the sun always shines. |
[00:33.160] | Life there is simple and good. |
[00:36.120] | Ripe fruit falls from the trees and you never have to work. |
[00:40.360] | The other side of the picture is quite the opposite. |
[00:43.760] | Life on a desert island is wretched. |
[00:47.120] | You either starve to death or live like Robinson Crusoe, Waiting for a boat which never comes. |
[00:54.840] | Perhaps there is an element of truth in both these pictures, |
[00:58.960] | but few of us have had the opportunity to find out. |
[01:03.160] | Two men who recently spent five days on a coral island wished they had stayed there longer. |
[01:09.720] | They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Islands to Miami to have it repaired. |
[01:16.360] | During the journey, their boat began to sink. |
[01:19.880] | They quickly loaded a small rubber dinghy with food, matches, and cans of beer |
[01:25.400] | and rowed for a few miles across the Caribbean until they arrived at a tiny coral island. |
[01:32.080] | There were hardly any trees on the island and there was no water, but this did not prove to be a problem. |
[01:39.320] | The men collected rainwater in the rubber dinghy. |
[01:43.120] | As they had brought a spear gun with them, they had plenty to eat. |
[01:47.200] | They caught lobster and fish every day,and, as one of them put it 'ate like kings'. |
[01:53.680] | When a passing tanker rescued them five days later, both men were genuinely sorry that they had to leave.^5 |

[00:01.080] | 荒岛生活 |
[00:07.280] | ^听录音,然后回答以下问题。 |
[00:13.040] | |
[00:19.960] | ^我们许多人对于荒岛生活有一种不切实际的想法。 |
[00:25.880] | ^我们有时想象荒岛是阳光终日普照的天堂。 |
[00:33.160] | ^在那里,生活简单又美好。 |
[00:36.120] | ^成熟的水果从树上掉下来,人们根本无需劳动。 |
[00:40.360] | ^另一种想法恰恰相反, |
[00:43.760] | ^认为荒岛生活很可怕, |
[00:47.120] | ^要么饿死,要么像鲁滨孙那样,天天盼船来,却总不见船影。 |
[00:54.840] | ^也许,这两种想象都有可信之处。 |
[00:58.960] | ^但很少有人能有机会去弄个究竟。 |
[01:03.160] | ^最近有两个人在一座珊瑚岛上呆了5天,他们真希望在那儿再多呆一些日子。 |
[01:09.720] | ^他们驾着一条严重损坏的小船从维尔京群岛去迈阿密修理。 |
[01:16.360] | ^途中,船开始下沉, |
[01:19.880] | ^他们迅速把食物、火柴、罐装啤酒往一只救生筏上装。 |
[01:25.400] | ^然后在加勒比海上划行了几英里,到了一座珊瑚岛上。 |
[01:32.080] | ^岛上几乎没有一颗树,也没有淡水,但这不算什么问题。 |
[01:39.320] | ^他们用像皮艇蓄积雨水。 |
[01:43.120] | ^由于他们随身带了一支捕鱼枪,因此,吃饭不愁。 |
[01:47.200] | ^他们天天捕捉龙虾和鱼,正如其中一位所说,吃得“像国王一样好”。 |
[01:53.680] | 天后,一条油轮从那儿路过,搭救了他们。这二位不得不离开那个荒岛时,还真的感到遗憾呢! |
