1、What was exceptional about the two men's stay on the desert island?
Most of us have formed an unrealistic picture of life on a desert
island.
form an unrealistic picture of sth 對…抱有不切實際的幻想
-- A large number of people have formed an unrealistic picture of the job.
Form(v.形成, 構成)= develop(vt.逐漸形成)
-- develop a habit = form a habit 養(yǎng)成一種習慣
2、We sometimes imagine a desert island to be a sort of paradise where the sun
always shines.
imagine sth to be = imagine sth as
-- Some people imagine flying to be more dangerous than traveling by
train.
-- A large number people imagine the USA as their paradise.
3、Life there is simple and good. Ripe fruit falls from the trees and you
never have to work.
You never have to work = you needn’t work = you don’t need to work
4、The other side of the picture is quite the opposite. Life on a desert
island is wretched.
quite the opposite 恰恰相反 / quite different
You either starve to death or live like Robinson Crusoe, Waiting for a boat
which never comes.
Either you or I am going to the party. (謂語動詞和接近的主語保持一致)
Either come in or go out, don’t stand on the doorway.(門口, 門道)
5、Perhaps there is an element of truth in both these pictures, but few us
have had the opportunity to find out.
an element of truth = a bit of truth
Optimistic(adj.樂觀的) Pessimistic(adj.悲觀的, 消極的)
6、Two men who recently spent five days on a coral island wished they had
stayed there longer.
謂語動詞 wish 之后的賓語從句中要使用虛擬語氣
1>如果表達與現(xiàn)在情況相反, that 從句中的動詞要用過去時(be 動詞要用 were)。
-- I wish you could drive a car. = I am sorry you can’t drive a car.
所表達的意思是：你要是能開車就好了。(表達一種遺憾的心情)
2>如果表達與過去情況相反, that 從句中的動詞要用過去完成時。
-- I wish I hadn't spent so much money. = I am sorry I spend so much
money.
-- I wish that you had written to him. = I am sorry you didn’t write to
him.
3、如果表達與將來事實相反的情況或將來不可能實現(xiàn)的心愿, that 從句中要使用 would, could 等情態(tài)動詞的過去時形式。
-- I wish that I could go abroad tomorrow.
-- I wish that you could come here tomorrow. 4>if only 要比 wish
更富有戲劇性和感情色彩
-- If only the weather would change. = I wish the weather would change.
要是天氣轉晴該有多好啊!
-- We wish that we knew where to look for him. = If only we knew where to
look for him. 要是我們知道到哪去找他該有多好啊!
-- If only we could have gone to the party. 要是我們昨天能參加那個聚會該有多好啊!
-- If only you hadn't said that. 你要是不說那句話多好啊!
-- If only you would come here tomorrow. 你明天要是能來該有多好啊!
4、They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Islands to Miami to
have it repaired During the journey, their boat began to sink.
have it repaired (have sth done)

beer and rowed for a few miles across the Caribbean until they arrived at a tiny
coral island.

-- The workers are loading the truck with goods. Unload(vi.卸貨, 退子彈 vt.傾銷,
卸)
5、There were hardly any trees on the island and there was no water, but this
did not prove to be a problem.

-- Hardly anybody likes him because he is so rude. 幾乎沒人喜歡他, 因為他非常粗魯。
-- You hardly eat anything, what's wrong? 你幾乎什么都沒吃, 怎么了? prove to be = turn
out to be
6、The men collected rainwater in the rubber dinghy.

like kings'.

sorry that they had to leave.

longer.
