### 第1段

Even ships grow old and have to be destroyed. The last journey of a ship, which people have worked in and grown to love, is always a sad occasion. The F.S. 949 had not been a great liner, or even a remarkable merchant ship. She was a U-boat and had sunk more ships during the war than any other submarine. In one famous battle, she had sunk six ships in twenty-four hours. Alone, she had gone out to meet a convoy of merchant ships. Though these ships were protected by destroyers, the F.S.949 had sunk four of them before she was located. During the long battle that followed, two of the destroyers were sunk and the little submarine was only slightly damaged. Now, under a cold, grey sky, people were watching silently as she came into the harbour. She would soon make her last journey out to sea before resting for ever in the depths she knew so well.

中文理解：就连船舶也有老旧的一天，难逃销毁。一艘船的最后一次航行，总是伤感的事情。人们在这艘船上工作过，也热爱过。F.S.949号不是一艘大邮轮，甚至连一艘有名的商船都算不上。她其实是一艘U 潜艇，战争期间击沉的船只，比其他任何潜艇都多。在一场著名的战役中，她在二十四小时内击沉了六艘船。她有次单独行动，直面一队商船。尽管这些商船由驱逐舰护航，F.S.949号在自己位置暴露之前，击沉了其中4艘商船。在紧接着的漫长战役中，两艘驱逐舰被击沉，而这艘小潜艇仅有轻微战损。现在，在寒冷、灰蒙蒙的天空下，人们默默地注视着她驶入港湾。 她即将迎来她的最后一次航程，驶向大海，在她熟知的深海，永远安眠。

* **a sad occasion**：到海上 / 永远 / 悲伤的场合；注意是叙事中的方向或持续时间，不要把每个小词分开背。

#### 1. ships grow old and have to be destroyed.

并列句，and 连接的两句是并列关系，句首的even 作让步状语有些迷惑性，这里

1选自《新概念英语2》，北京：外语教学与研究出版社2019.7. 第229页.

并不是从句. 前句主系表结构，说哪怕是船只也会变得老旧，后一句则是省略了主语的主谓结构，这里是被动语态，不得不面临销毁的命运了.

#### 2. The journey is an occasion.

复合句，主句是主系表结构，这中间穿插了一个which 引导的非限制性定语从句，是并列结构，都是主谓宾结构. is 在这里体现出一般现在时.

#### 3. The F.S. 949 had not been a liner, or a ship.

并列句，两句均为主系表结构，or 连接了两个表语，可以理解为后面这句省略了主系部分.

#### 4. She was a U-boat and had sunk more ships.

并列句，and 连接前后两句，前句为主系表结构，后句为省略了主语的主谓宾结构，这里谓语动词是sink，to damage a boat or ship so that it goes below the surface of the sea, etc. 使下沉；使沉没. 本句she 指代潜艇为拟人化表达，以表亲切.

#### 5. she had sunk six ships.

简单句，主谓宾结构，再次使用sink 表达击沉船只.

#### 6. she had gone out…

简单句，主谓结构，后面动词不定式短语作目的状语.

#### 7. Though ships were protected, the F.S.949 had sunk four before she was located.

复合句，本句主句为主谓宾结构，前后各一个状语从句，前句是though 引导的让步状语从句，主谓结构，用了被动语态，被保护；后句为before 引导的时间状语从句，也是被动语态，被定位，在翻译时按照中文表达习惯，写为位置暴露.

#### 8. two were sunk and the submarine was damaged.

并列句，and 连接前后两句，前句句首的状语中，有一个定语从句，主谓结构，前句本身也是主谓结构；后句为主谓结构，一般过去时的被动语态，被损伤了.

#### 9. people were watching as she came…

复合句，主句主谓结构，后面是as 引导的时间状语从句，主谓结构，这里谓语我们只划分come，而into the harbour 整个介词短语作为地点状语，因为come into 作动词词组的话，是继承、充当…角色之意，在这里不符合句意.

#### 10. She would make her last journey.

简单句，本句主干结构为主谓宾简单句，后面的时间状语其实也可以视为一个从句，before she rests…即可，这个时间状语里面有一个定语从句，我们予以划分，主谓结构. 主句使用了将来时态，即将开始最后的旅程.

## 学完这一课

换一个时间、人物或地点，用三句话讲一件自己的小事。
