华尔街高级英语Lesson 31

1, So, here you are, at last.
2.It was as if he’d been expecting me. I moved back to the other end of the boat with my mind working fast. Fortunately, I had a knife on me, so I knew I would defend myself in case he attacked me. Anyway, he was obviously 1 very seriously injured 2. I had to stay in that boat; it was my only chance. It had small motor 3 and I tried to start it.
3.You’re wasting your time. There’s no fuel.
4. Damn 4!
5. “Listen, Roger. Don’t come near me. I’ve got a knife and I’ll use it.”
6. “You always were a clever bastard 5, Hugo. Don’t worry, I haven’t got the strength to move.
7.There was a light wind, so we drifted 6 slowly across that enormous 7 ocean. The fog got thicker so I could see nothing at all. And then night fell. I didn’t dare 8 to go to sleep, so I lay awake and watching all night long. I might have become dangerously weak from hunger. But fortunately I found a bar of chocolate, which I bought at Trinidad Airport.
8.Are you eating something, Hugo? Please give me some, I’m so hungry.
9.There isn’t enough for both of us.
10 The following morning, the fog had gone. And when the sun rose it became incredibly hot. The chocolate had given me such a terrible thirst that I thought I would die. Then I noticed the label 9 on the motor. It said: water-cooled, fuel regularly 10.
11.I hurriedly took the thing to pieces and found about half a litter of water. It was brown and rusty 11, but it saved my life. Temple was watching me.
12.Water. Give me some water, please.
13.Get you own water.
14. That water got me through the following day and night. But by the next morning I had finished it and, of course, I was terribly hungry as well. l was only half-conscious on that third day. I lay there quite still with one hand on my knife. At one point I thought Temple was attacking me. Keep away from me, I’ve told you I’ve got a knife.
15. But I was only imagining it. What a state I was in! I remember dreaming at one point that I was a child again, on a train going to Stockholm, and feeling terribly excited, and I looked around me and saw the land.
16.Only a few hundred meters away there was a small sandy beach with palm 12 trees all around. I thought it was another dream. I closed my eyes and looked again, and it was still there. Temple wasn’t moving. But just in case he was still alive, I took out my knife and made a large hole in the side of the dinghy.
17.It still felt like a dream. I jumped into the sea and somehow managed to swim to the shore. As I pulled myself onto the beach. I turned round to check that the dingy 13 had sunk.
 18.Then I fell asleep on the beach where I lay until I was found by a couple of tourists.
