SUN-VILLAGE ENGLISH 洋人街国际教育1、 【Text】课文 Lesson10 The loss of Titanic The great ship, Titanic, sailed for New York from Southampton on April 10th, 1912. She was carrying 1316 passengers and a crew of 89l. Even by modern standards, the 46,000 ton Titanic was a colossal ship. At that time, however, she was not only the largest ship that had ever been built, but was regarded as unsinkable, for she had sixteen watertight compartments. Even if two of these were flooded, she would still be able to float. The tragic sinking of this great liner will always be remembered, for she went down on her first voyage with heavy loss of life. Four days after setting out, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy waters of the North Atlantic, a huge iceberg was suddenly spotted by a look-out. After the alarm had been given, the great ship turned sharply to avoid a direct collision. The Titanic turned just in time, narrowly missing the immense wall of ice which rose over 100 feet out of the water beside her. Suddenly, there was a slight trembling sound from below, and the captain went down to see what had happened. The noise had been so faint that no one thought that the ship had been damaged. Below, the captain realized to his horror that the Titanic was sinking rapidly, for five of her sixteen watertight compartments had already been flooded ! The order to abandon ship was given and hundreds of people plunged into the icy water. As there were not enough life-boats for everybody, 1500 lives were lost. 二、New Words1. colossal adj.庞大的（= large in size） - A ship Titanic was colossal.- a colossal monument - a colossal statue big （adj. 大的；重要的；量大的）- You give me a big surprise. - He is a big person.（重要的） - The box is big.large（ adj.大的；多数的；广博的） - an empty large box - a large number of peoplegreat （ adj.伟大的） -He has the potential to be a great player.vast（ adj.辽阔的） - vast desertimmense（adj.极广大的, 无边的） -an immense stadium -an immense icebergenormous （adj. 庞大的，巨大的） - We had an enormous lunch. - He made an enormous success.giant（n.巨人, 大力士 adj.庞大的, 巨大的） - a giant persontremendous （ adj. 极大的，巨大的；惊人的） - The plane is travelling at tremendous speed.huge（ adj.巨大的，庞大的，无限的） -a huge stone -a huge sum of moneytitanic（ adj. 巨大的） - The ship is titanic.2. watertight adj.不漏水的; 无限可击的、毫无破绽的watertight arguments 无懈可击的论点 watertight excuse 毫无破绽的借口a watertight ship an airtight bottle 密封瓶airtight windtight plastic wrap 保鲜膜 ziplock 自封袋 freezer bag 保鲜袋waterproof（adj.防水的） proof（adj.不能透入的；耐的）waterproof watch waterproof coat soundproof （adj. 隔音的） soundproof walls 3.compartment n.（轮船的）密封舱 4. flood v.充满水（= be filled with water）- The ship is flooded.be flooded with被淹没；大量涌入；充满 - The room was flooded with moonlight. - Our classroom is flooded with sunshine. - be flooded with fresh thoughts满脑子新思想flood n.洪水（- in flood 洪水泛滥） - During the rains, the river is in flood. -The flood swamped the whole village.5.float v.漂浮, 飘浮 = drift（v. 漂流）Eg:They will also float if you drop them in the water.如果把它们丢进水里，它们也会浮起来。Eg: The white cloud of smoke floated away.那团白色的烟雾飘走了。 6.tragic adj.悲惨的a tragic accidenttragedy n.悲剧, 惨案- in tragedy以悲剧形式 - The holiday ended in edy n.喜剧comic adj.喜剧的, 滑稽的The novel is comic and tragic.这本小说兼有喜剧和悲剧的特点。7.liner n.班船 A liner is a large ship in which people travel long distances, especially on holiday.客轮Then he would take an air liner to another city for travel. 然后他会乘一架班机去另一个城市旅游。8. voyage n.航行 voyager 航海家Darwin was generally healthy before his 5-year voyage on the Beagle , although he was seasick for most of his time at sea.在贝加尔号的5年航行之前，达尔文基本上是健康的, 但是他在海上的大部分时间都晕船。voyage：多指水上旅行、出海游玩和航海旅行。trip：非正式用语，指短时间内往返的商业旅行或观光旅游。travel：泛指旅行，游历，是最为普通的用语，但无路程的含义。tour：常指访问多处的观光旅游，常有周游后回到原出发地之意。journey：常指由某一地点到另一地点的旅行，也指旅行的路程，是比较正式的用语。journey n. 旅行；行程As the old Chinese saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.Similarly, there is a saying in the West which reads, Rome was not built in one day.9. iceberg n.冰山10. lookout n.瞭望员11. collision n.碰撞collide vi. 碰撞, 抵触 collide with 抵触；碰撞；冲突The plane collided with the mountain.Racing up the stairs, he almost collided with Daisy.conflict n. 冲突，矛盾; vi. 和某事（某人）相抵触 - My idea conflicts with yours.12. narrowly adv. 刚刚，勉强地narrow adj. 狭窄的 13. miss v.避开;错过He fired two shots, both missed.avoid/ evade /keep away from+doing 14. slight adj.轻微的 vt.轻蔑; 怠慢I have a slight cold. / a slight headache.
