Even those who describe themselves as colourblind are normally just colour deficient. A strongly colourblind person will still be able to tell 20 different colours, compared to the 100 or so that normalsighted people see.Pingelap, a tiny island in the Pacific, is a beautiful spot but one that has a genetic trouble. It is known as Colourblind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white.Not being able to see in colour is bad enough. But one islander, Herrol, whos a fisherman, also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burntout image. “I find it difficult to go outside in the sun，” he says，“because when its sunny I cannot see to do my work.”But if being truly colourblind is rare, why is it that around 10% of the population of Pingelap live in a totally black and white world?Well, we know that in 1780 the population of Pingelap was all but wiped out by a tsunami (海啸). As few as 20 people survived, one of whom was the king. Its believed that he had a genetic fault that causes colourblindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations.There is one advantage. Herrol can see well, really well, in the dark. So when it gets dark, Herrol and his friends get in their boats and hunt flying fish. They hang up flaming torches and the flying fish are attracted to the flames. “This type of fishing is fun，” Herrol says, “especially if we catch plenty. So even though its hard work we enjoy it.” 体裁：说明文题材：奇闻趣事主题：色盲岛【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了色盲岛Pingelap岛，以及该岛上居民色盲的原因、情况等。【难句分析】It is known as Colourblind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white. 分析：该句为复合句。句中because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white为because引导的原因状语从句，其中who live on this remote island为who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词so many people。译文：它被称为色盲岛，因为居住在这个偏远岛屿上的这么多人(眼中)看到的颜色，只有黑色和白色。 5What is Pingelap famous as?
