生活中，只有那些善于生存、會自我保護(hù)的人才算得上是主宰生活的強者。學(xué)會生存，是我們?nèi)粘Ｉ钪胁豢苫蛉钡谋绢I(lǐng)。對于那些會生存、善生存的人來說，生存好像一場游戲。在遇到突發(fā)事件時，不要驚慌失措，而要積極開動腦筋，使自己化險為夷，轉(zhuǎn)危為安。

Although we can’t stop the natural disaster,we can prevent and try to reduce unnecessary losses.To learn to live,nobody can neglect its important role.

The 5·12 great earthquake has caused many people in Sichuan to lose their lives.But there are a lot of people who have survived miraculously.This makes us know more about the benefits of learning to live.

In the earthquake,a little girl was studying in the classroom.She was under the collapsed teaching building.She put the stone away side by hand and had a very small space.She continued to move,but one of her legs was crushed by a large piece of cement board.She decided to use a sharp piece of gravel to cut the leg off.She dragged the body tiredly with the bleeding leg.A passage way to life was dug out.She changed her life with a short pain.As one article said,“At a certain time,you only dare to give up,there is a chance to gain a more long-term interest.”

Before the Tangshan earthquake,it was found that a man’s homemade seismograph was ringing.The rabbit in the underground ran away.The cock dared not go into the nest.The small cat,who was usually agile and clever，was also dejected all day.He thought there might be an earthquake.

But when he told his guess to the people in the yard,they did not believe.He had to do some preparation and prevention by himself.It also tells us that it is necessary to know some of the phenomena before the disaster.Only in this way,when natural disaster comes,we can take the right measures to protect ourselves!

◆典句賞析

1.But there are a lot of people who have survived miraculously.但是也有很多人奇跡般地活了下來。

該句是含who引導(dǎo)的定語從句的復(fù)合句。people是先行詞，關(guān)系代詞who是主格形式，在定語從句中作主語，此時不能省略。

【即時嘗試】正在回答問題的那個學(xué)生是約翰。

2....it was found that a man’s homemade seismograph was ringing.……有人發(fā)現(xiàn)某個人自制的地震檢測儀響個不停。

該句是復(fù)合句。主句“it was found”是一般過去時態(tài)的被動語態(tài)形式；that引導(dǎo)的是賓語從句，從句中的謂語動詞用過去進(jìn)行時態(tài)，表示“響”的動作一直持續(xù)。

【即時嘗試】他說他現(xiàn)在不能告訴你，你將會理解的。

3.The small cat,who was usually agile and clever,was also dejected all day.平時乖巧伶俐的小貓咪也整天垂頭喪氣。

這是一個復(fù)合句。who是關(guān)系代詞，引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句；主句中的be dejected是固定詞組，意為“垂頭喪氣”。

【即時嘗試】我們的老板史密斯先生下周要去日本。

譯文助讀

雖然我們無法阻止自然災(zāi)難的發(fā)生，但是我們可以預(yù)防和盡量減少損失。學(xué)會生存，誰都不能忽視它的重要作用。

5·12大地震讓四川許許多多的人喪失了性命，但是也有很多人奇跡般地活了下來。這更使我們了解了學(xué)會生存的好處。

在這次地震中，一個正在教室學(xué)習(xí)的小女孩被倒塌的教學(xué)樓壓在了下面。她用手把身邊的碎石塊搬開，騰出了一塊很小的空間。她繼續(xù)搬著，但她的一條腿被壓在一塊很大的水泥板下。她決定用一塊尖銳的石塊把那條腿砍下來。她拖著疲憊的身軀和正在流血的腿挖出了一條通向生命的通道。她以短痛換取了生命。就如一篇文章所說的,“在某個特定的時刻，你只有敢于舍棄，才有機會獲得更長遠(yuǎn)的利益。”

而在唐山大地震之前，有人發(fā)現(xiàn)某個人自制的地震檢測儀響個不停，養(yǎng)在地下的兔子也跑了；公雞不敢進(jìn)窩；平時乖巧伶俐的小貓咪也整天垂頭喪氣。他覺得可能要發(fā)生地震了。

但當(dāng)他把他的猜測告訴院子里的人時，他們都不信。他只好自己做了一些準(zhǔn)備與預(yù)防。這也告訴我們知道一些災(zāi)難前的現(xiàn)象也是必要的。只有這樣，在自然災(zāi)害來臨時，我們才能采取正確的措施來保護(hù)自己！
