Notes:

1. There was an Olympic swimming champion on the Titanic.

一個(gè)奧運(yùn)游泳冠軍在泰坦尼克號(hào)上。

冠軍是champion,亞軍是runner-up,季軍也就是第三名是 the third;金、銀、銅牌則分別是 gold medal, silver medal，bronze medal。

他問(wèn)船長(zhǎng)：“最近的陸地有多遠(yuǎn)?”

How far away is...?…有多遠(yuǎn)?

4. The captain replied,"About one mile."

船長(zhǎng)回答：“大約一英里。”

5. The man got excited and asked, "In wbich direction?"

這個(gè)男人變得很興奮，他問(wèn)道：“在哪個(gè)方向?”

6. The captain answered, "Down!"

船長(zhǎng)因答：“向下!”

船長(zhǎng)說(shuō)的是沒(méi)錯(cuò)，海底的確有陸地.但是……
