10、plausible explanation of how three Sundays could occur in a week.,Main idea:,Intensive Study,Robert, the narrator of the story, was left in the care of his Uncle Rumgudgeon when his parents died. He grew up with Kate, daughter of Uncle Rumgudgeon. Kate had agreed to marry Robert any time he got her

11、fathers consent. But the old man would not give his consent until three Sundays came together in a week. Robert was greatly upset.,Next,Intensive Study (para 1),Now it so happened that among Kates sailor friends were two men who had just traveled around the globe. They had circled it in a year and c

12、ome back to England. With their help, Kate and I tried to gain our point indirectly. So we invited the pair up to meet my uncle, and after a half hour or so of idle talk, we began to steer the conversation.,Next,Intensive Study (para 2),“Well, well, Mr. Rumgudgeon,” Captain Pratt started. “Here I am

13、 just a year after leaving England let me see. October 10 yes, just a year since I called here, you will remember, to bid my friends goodbye. By the way it does seem a coincidence, really, doesnt it? Captain Smitherton here has also been absent a year exactly just a year today!”,Next,Intensive Study

14、 (para 3),“Why yes, yes, yes,” replied my uncle. “Very queer indeed. Both of you gone just a year very queer indeed. Now, thats what Dr. Double L. Dee would call an extraordinary concurrence of events. Extraordinary! Doctor Doub ”,Next,Intensive Study (para 4),“To be sure, papa, it is something stra

15、nge,” Kate interrupted hastily. “But remember that Captain Pratt didnt go by the same route as Captain Smitherton that makes a difference, you know.”,Next,Intensive Study (para 5-6),“Well,” broke in my uncle. “I dont know any such thing! How should I? It only makes the thing even more extraordinary.

16、” “Why papa, Captain Pratt went around Cape Horn, and Captain Smitherton doubled the Cape of Good Hope.”,Next,Intensive Study (para 7-8),“Precisely the one went east and the other went west, you fool! And they both have gone completely around the world. Now, Dr. Double L. Dee ” “Captain Pratt, you m

17、ust come and spend the evening with us tomorrow,” I said, “ you and Captain Smitherton. You can tell us all about your voyages, and well have a game of cards .”,Next,Intensive Study (para 9-10),“Cards? My dear fellow, you forget!” cried Captain Pratt. “Tomorrow will be Sunday, you know. Some other e

18、vening!” “Sunday?” Kate demanded. “Come, you know Roberts not so bad as that! Today is Sunday, of course!”,Next,Intensive Study (para 11-13),“To be sure! To be sure!” my uncle added. “I must beg both your pardons,” Pratt insisted, “but I cant be so much mistaken. I know tomorrows Sunday, because ” H

19、ere Smitherton found his voice at last. Hed been looking at the others as though they were mad. “What are you people thinking about, anyhow? Wasnt yesterday Sunday, I should like to know?”,Next,Intensive Study (para 14-15),Everyone had an answer for that, but they were different answers. “Todays Sun

20、day!” my uncle roared, purple with anger. “No! No! Tomorrows Sunday,” called Pratt. “Why, you are all mad, every one of you! I am as positive that yesterday was Sunday as I am that Im sitting in this chair.”,Next,Intensive Study (para 16),And here Kate ended the quarrel by jumping up, as if she had

21、a new thought. “I see it all! I see it all! Its a judgment on you, papa, about you know what! Its a very simple thing, really. I can explain it in a minute. Heres Captain Smitherton he says yesterday was Sunday. And so it was. Hes right. Bobby and Uncle and I say today is Sunday. And were right. Wer

22、e perfectly right. And Captain Pratt is right too, when he says tomorrow is Sunday. Were all right, because, three Sundays have come together in this week!”,Next,Intensive Study (para 17-18),“Why, of course!” said Smitherton after a bit of mock thought. “What fools we two are!” “The earth you know,

23、is about 24,000 miles around. And it spins around from west to east in 24 hours. Now if I sail along eastward a thousand miles from this position, I reach London with an hour extra, because Ive been traveling right towards the rising sun and meeting it as it rose. In that way, I gain an hour on the

24、clock.,Next,Intensive Study (para 18(2nd),I see the sun rise just an hour before you do. And in another thousand miles eastward, I gain another hour in the same way by meeting the sun before it rises. Thus when I go eastward around the globe, 24,000 miles or so, and reach this spot again, why, Ive g

25、one toward the rising sun just 24 hours. That is to say, when I arrive, it is a full day ahead of your time. Understand?”,Next,Intensive Study (para 19-20),“But Dr. Double L. Dee ” my uncle began feebly. Smitherton would not be interrupted. “But Captain Pratt, on the contrary, traveled westward. Eve

26、ry thousand miles took him an hour away from the rising sun. Each thousand miles in that direction brought him to a point an hour further from the sun. It takes just an hour for the sun to catch up with him there. So we can say that he has lost an hour. When he has sailed 24,000 miles west, why, he

27、has lost just 24 hours. He has arrived a day after our time.”,Next,Intensive Study (para 21),“Now, in that way, yesterday was really Sunday for me, because I gained a day. With you, Mr. Rumgudgeon, who remained here, today is Sunday. Captain Pratt, however, lost a day. Tomorrow will be his Sunday.”,

28、Next,Intensive Study,“And what is even more interesting, Mr. Rumgudgeon, there can be no particular reason given why the day of any one of us should be more correct than another. We are all perfectly correct in our claims about this Sunday.” Uncle Rumgudgeon kept his word, and Robert would have Kate
