1、Lesson 12 Life on a desert island 荒岛生活Listen to the tape then answer the question below.听录音，然后回答以下问题。What was exceptional about the two mens stay on the desert island?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 paradi
2、se 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
3、 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.
4、 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 p
5、rove 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 sor
6、ry that they had to leave.参考译文我们许多人对于荒岛生活有一种不切实际的想法。我们有时想象荒岛是阳光终日普照的天堂。在那里，生活简单又美好。成熟的水果从树上掉下来，人们根本无需劳动。另一种想法恰恰相反，认为荒岛生活很可怕，要么饿死，要么像鲁滨孙那样，天天盼船来，却总没见船影。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。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。他们驾着一条严重损坏的小船从维尔京群岛阿密修理。途中，船开始下沉，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。岛上几乎
7、没有一颗树，也没有淡水，但这不算什么问题。他们用像皮艇蓄积雨水。由于他们随身带了一支捕鱼枪，因此，吃饭不愁。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”。5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!1、 单词讲解 New words and expressionsdesert island 荒岛unrealisticnrilistik adj. 不真实的paradisep rdais n.天堂；乐土wretchedretid adj. 可怜的，艰苦的 starvest:v v.挨饿elementelimnt n.成分 opportuni

33、气虚拟语气语气：虚拟语气语法结构和借助词汇变化实现的。但目的却是表示说话人主观的一种祝愿，命令，建议，要求，或是用语法的结构变化来明确提醒对方，说话人所表达的是不可能或难以实现的愿望。英语的 subjunctive mood/thought mood 要比汉语容易得多，中国人 喜欢通过对方的口吻来忖度对方的态度。wish+宾语从句 （ subjunctive mood）hope 不可以携带宾语从句； 因为 hope 后面出现的事情往往表示说话人真实的愿望， 而且从将来的发展角度来看有可能是实现的 或者是已经实现的。主 + wish + (that) + 主 + did/were(现在)had
34、done(过去)would do(将来)总结：1） 虚拟语气是靠谓语的特殊变化来实现的。一般现在 一般过去 do/does did一般过去 过去完成 did had done一般将来 过去将来 will would do2） 虚拟语气的使用可以不受主句谓语时态的变化的影响。 Practice:1） I wish I _(am) a bird.（answer: were）2.I really wish you_ (not say) that.(answer: hadnt said)They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Isla
