人生是一場探索和歷險，在這個過程中我們總會遇到驚慌失措、生死攸關(guān)的緊要時刻。在各種各樣的險境中，我們必須想盡辦法克服恐懼，學(xué)會自救和尋求幫助，這樣，我們才能擺脫困境，渡過難關(guān)。本次讀后續(xù)寫之朋友歷險將帶我們走進(jìn)I have noidea how to fly this plane，讀一讀一對朋友哈里森和弗蘭克的冒險經(jīng)歷。

主題微語境

文章敘述的是一個令人驚心動魄的冒險故事。正在海洋上空一萬英尺飛行的飛機，由于飛行員艾倫突然昏厥，飛機上另外兩名乘客哈里森和弗蘭克不得不臨時駕駛飛機，他們在塔臺工作人員的指導(dǎo)下控制好飛機，最終安全著陸，化險為夷。

一、遇險境——飛行員突然暈倒，飛機失控

1.It's around noon.The early May weather is perfect and the views—brilliant blue skies and the crystalline ocean below—are drop-dead beautiful.The plane is being flown by Ken Allen,a 64-year-old veteran pilot.To Allen's right in the co-pilot's seat is his friend Russ Franck,70.Franck is no pilot,but he does enjoy going along for the ride.大約是中午。五月初的天氣是完美的，風(fēng)景——燦爛的藍(lán)天和底下清澈的海洋——是非常美麗的。駕駛這架飛機的是一名64 歲的資深飛行員肯·艾倫。艾倫的右邊在副駕駛座位上的是他的朋友拉斯·弗蘭克，70 歲。弗蘭克不是飛行員，但他非常喜歡跟著一起飛。

2.A few minutes later,as Allen continues his descent,the right side of his head starts pounding: Boom! Boom! Boom! Every time his heart beats, Allen feels as if his head is being hit with a hammer.What the heck...? Allen wonders as he winces in pain.Out of his right eye, he begins seeing bright blue lights flashing.幾分鐘后，當(dāng)艾倫繼續(xù)下降時，他的頭部右側(cè)開始劇烈地跳動：砰！砰！砰！每次心跳的時候，艾倫都覺得自己的頭被一把錘子擊中了。怎么回事……？當(dāng)艾倫在痛苦中抽搐時，他還在疑惑。他開始從他的右眼看到明亮的藍(lán)色燈光在閃爍。

3.“Guys, I don't feel good!”he tells Harrison and Franck.The pain is severe.The pounding intensifies.His voice shaking,he says,“Everything is fuzzy!”“朋友們，我感覺很糟糕！”他對哈里森和弗蘭克說。疼得厲害。（他頭部右側(cè)的）沖擊加劇了。他聲音顫抖地說：“一切都模糊了!”

4.Harrison answers immediately,“What does that mean?”“I don't know.My head is killing me! I don't...”Allen suddenly stops talking and Harrison watches him slump back in his seat.The plane is now careening toward the sea without a pilot.哈里森立刻回答：“什么意思？”“我不知道。我的頭疼死了！我不……”艾倫突然不說話了，哈里森看著他癱倒在座位上。沒有飛行員，這架飛機正在沖向大海。

5.Harrison manages to undo his seat belt and, fighting G-forces that want to pin him back to his seat, stumbles a few feet to Allen.He and Franck try to rouse Allen.No response.The pilot is unconscious.And the plane is out of control, plummeting in a deep,dizzying 340-mile-per-hour dive to the ocean below.哈里森設(shè)法解開他的安全帶，與想要把他按回座位上的重力做斗爭，踉踉蹌蹌地走了幾英尺到艾倫面前。他和弗蘭克試圖喚醒艾倫。沒有回應(yīng)。飛行員已失去知覺。飛機失去控制，以猛烈的、令人眩暈的、每小時340英里的速度向下面的海洋俯沖。

表1 遇險境——飛行員突然暈倒，飛機失控

二、解險境——迅速控制好飛機，尋求幫助

1.Although he's never taken a flying lesson, Harrison has flown enough small planes and observed enough pilots to know that he has to pull back the plane's yoke to bring the plane's nose up.But he has to do it slowly or the motor would stall, or the wings may be ripped off.Squatting behind Allen's seat, he reaches over the unconscious pilot and grabs the yoke while Franck grabs the co-pilot's yoke.雖然哈里森從未上過飛行課，但他駕駛過足夠多的小型飛機，觀察過足夠多的飛行員，他知道他必須把飛機的軛拉回來，才能讓飛機的機頭向上。但他必須慢慢來，否則發(fā)動機可能會熄火，或者機翼可能會被扯下來。他蹲在艾倫的座位后面，伸手越過昏迷的飛行員，抓住了軛，同時弗蘭克抓住了副駕駛的軛。

2.As the plane falls, both Harrison and Franck struggle to level off the plane, which has dropped nearly 4000 feet in 30 seconds.Soon, the plane's nose levels off and turns up,before climbing back to 9000 feet.“Can you hold this steady?”Harrison asks Franck.While holding the co-pilot's yoke, Franck helps Harrison unbuckle Allen's seat belt, and Harrison pulls him off the seat and gently lays the unconscious pilot on the floor of the cabin.Harrison quickly climbs into the pilot's seat and takes stock of the situation.First and foremost,they are alive.But they are a long way from home.隨著飛機的下降，哈里森和弗蘭克都在努力使飛機保持平穩(wěn)，飛機在30秒內(nèi)下降了近4000英尺。很快，飛機的機頭水平上升，然后爬升到9000 英尺的高度。“你能拿穩(wěn)嗎？”哈里森問弗蘭克。弗蘭克一邊拉著副駕駛的軛，一邊幫哈里森解開艾倫的安全帶，哈里森把他從座位上拉下來，輕輕地把失去知覺的飛行員放在機艙的地板上。哈里森迅速爬到飛行員的座位上，對情況進(jìn)行了評估。首先，他們還活著，但他們離家很遠(yuǎn)。

3.“I've got a serious situation here,”says Harrison.“My pilot...uh...has gone...unconscious.I have no idea how to fly the airplane...”Flores jumps from his seat and hits a button on his console that broadcasts the radio transmission through the control tower's loudspeakers.Alerted to an emergency, everyone in the tower drops what they are doing and listens to the call.“我遇到了一個嚴(yán)重的問題。”哈里森說，“我的飛行員……嗯……已經(jīng)沒有意識了。我不知道怎么開飛機……”弗洛雷斯從座位上跳起來，按下控制塔臺上的一個按鈕，通過控制塔的揚聲器播放無線電傳輸。接到緊急情況警報后，塔里的每個人都放下手中的工作，傾聽警報。

4.Harrison and Franck realize they have lost contact with the tower.Flores's voice is replaced by static, then nothing.Once again, Harrison and Franck are on their own.While Harrison holds the plane steady, Franck tries to figure out where they are and if they are even flying in the right direction.Franck had ceded control of the plane to the younger Harrison under the mistaken belief that he may have had some flight simulator experience because he seemed so focused.哈里森和弗蘭克意識到他們已經(jīng)和塔臺失去了聯(lián)系。弗洛雷斯的聲音被靜電干擾聲所取代，然后什么都聽不見了。哈里森和弗蘭克又一次只能靠他們自己了。當(dāng)哈里森穩(wěn)住飛機時，弗蘭克試圖弄清楚他們的位置，以及他們是否朝著正確的方向飛行。弗蘭克把飛機的控制權(quán)讓給了小哈里森，錯誤地認(rèn)為他可能有一些（駕駛）飛行模擬器的經(jīng)驗，因為他看起來很專注。

5.Franck peers out of his window and says,“Look, there's the coast over there.”He checks his compass to double-check his bearings.“We need to go west to get to the airport.”Harrison nods and makes a gradual turn towards the coast.弗蘭克向窗外看了看，說：“看，那邊是海岸?！彼麢z查羅盤，再次確認(rèn)方位?！拔覀兊猛髯卟拍艿綑C場?！惫锷c點頭，慢慢（將飛機）轉(zhuǎn)向海岸。

表2 解險境——迅速控制好飛機，尋求幫助

三、脫險境——塔臺指導(dǎo)著陸，救助傷員

1.The airport's operation manager, Mark Siviglia, meets him at the door and quickly briefs him,“We have passengers flying a plane,Cessna 208.The pilot is unconscious.Can you help land this plane?”Morgan's eyes widen and he thinks,“Is this really happening?This sounds like a movie!”機場運營經(jīng)理馬克·西維利亞在門口迎接他，并迅速向他介紹情況：“我們有乘客駕駛?cè)辜{208飛機。飛行員已失去知覺。你能幫忙讓飛機降落嗎？”摩根睜大了眼睛，他想：“這是真的嗎？這聽起來像電影！”

2.Harrison and Franck are glued to their headsets, listening to Morgan's instructions.Franck scans the ground for familiar landmarks.He sees the I-95 freeway and nudges Harrison.They follow it north to Palm Beach International Airport.哈里森和弗蘭克都緊緊地貼著耳機，聽著摩根的指令。弗蘭克在尋找地面上熟悉的地標(biāo)。他看到了I-95高速公路，推了推哈里森。他們沿著它向北到達(dá)棕櫚灘國際機場。

3.“Hey! I don't know how to use the brakes.What should I do when I land?”“When you get to the ground,just put your feet on the top of the pedals and apply a bit of pressure,”Morgan quickly adds.“Gentle! Be very gentle when you press on the pedals.”What he doesn't mention is that putting too much pressure on the brakes too early can blow a tire, causing a pilot to lose control of the plane, possibly crashing on the runway.“嘿！我不知道怎么用制動器。我落地后該怎么辦？”“當(dāng)你到達(dá)地面時，把你的腳放在踏板上，然后施加一點壓力。”摩根迅速補充道，“輕柔！踩踏板的時候力道要非常輕柔。”他沒有提到的是，太早地、過重地踩下制動器會讓飛機爆胎，使飛行員失去對飛機的控制，可能使飛機撞毀在跑道。

4.Harrison throttles back and lines up the runway,which is 3 miles away.The radar room is quiet;everyone's eyes are glued to the radar screens,watching this final approach.哈里森減速，在三英里外的跑道上排隊。雷達(dá)室很安靜，所有人的眼睛都緊盯著雷達(dá)屏幕，注視著這最后一次著陸。

5.Then the room's loudspeaker crackles into life.It's Harrison.“I'm on the ground.How do I stop this thing?”Morgan hits the radio call button,“Use the toe brakes—nice,gently!”然后，房間里的擴音器轟鳴起來。是哈里森?！拔以诘孛嫔?。我該如何阻止這一切？”摩根按下無線電呼叫按鈕：“用腳趾制動器——要特別，輕輕地！”

6.The radar room erupts in cheers.Exhausted but flushed with adrenaline, Morgan stands and blinks back tears.Harrison, feeling comfortable at the plane's control,radios Morgan,“Hey, do you want me to taxi this off the runway?”Morgan chuckles.“Amazing,”he says to himself.“That guy is amazing.”雷達(dá)室里爆發(fā)出歡呼聲。摩根筋疲力盡，但腎上腺素令他滿臉漲紅，他直直地站著，強忍著淚水。哈里森此刻對操縱飛機有幾分自信，他用無線電向摩根發(fā)送訊息：“嘿，你想讓我把飛機滑出跑道嗎？”摩根笑了?！疤袅?，”他自言自語道，“那家伙太棒了?！?/p>

7.An ambulance rushes Ken Allen to the nearby Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, where he is diagnosed with an aortic dissection, a tear in the inner layer of the aorta that is often fatal.Doctors operate on him immediately,and he is expected to make a full recovery.救護車迅速將肯·艾倫送往附近的棕櫚灘花園醫(yī)療中心，在那里他被診斷出患有主動脈夾層，這是一種主動脈內(nèi)層的撕裂，通常是致命的。醫(yī)生立即為他做了手術(shù)，他有望完全康復(fù)。

表3 脫險境——塔臺指導(dǎo)著陸,救助傷員

句式微練習(xí)

一、熟詞生義的使用，讓常用詞發(fā)揮不一樣的魅力

And the plane is out of control, plummeting in a deep, dizzying 340-mile-per-hour dive to the ocean below.飛機失去控制，以猛烈的、令人眩暈的、每小時340英里的速度向下面的海洋俯沖。

dizzy意為“頭暈?zāi)垦５摹?，在句中用作動詞，意為“使暈頭轉(zhuǎn)向”。

The airport's operation manager, Mark Siviglia, meets him at the door and quickly briefs him,“We have passengers flying a plane,Cessna 208.”機場運營經(jīng)理馬克·西維利亞在門口迎接他，并迅速向他介紹情況：“我們有乘客駕駛?cè)辜{208飛機?！?/p>

brief意為“短暫的；簡短的”，在句中用作動詞，意為“向……簡要介紹情況”。

Harrison,feeling comfortable at the plane's control,radios Morgan,“Hey,do you want me to taxi this off the runway?”哈里森此刻對操縱飛機有幾分自信，他用無線電向摩根發(fā)送訊息：“嘿，你想讓我把飛機滑出跑道嗎？”

radio意為“無線電廣播”，在句中用作動詞，意為“用無線電向……發(fā)送信息”。taxi意為“出租車”，在句中用作動詞，意為“使飛機緩慢滑行”。

主題1 從火災(zāi)現(xiàn)場逃離

Lightning flashed through the darkness over the skylight (天窗) of Sibson's bedroom.Sibson was shaken by a clap of thunder before he knew what was happening.The storm had moved directly through his two-storey wooden house.Then he heard the smoke alarm beeping.

Sibson rushed down the stairs barefoot to check.He opened the door to the basement,and flames exploded.Sibson ran back upstairs to call the emergency call from his bedroom.“I felt glad because the room had a separate outdoor stairway,”he explained to the media later.

But the phone didn't work, and when he tried to go down the outdoor stairway, he was stopped by a wall of flames.Sibson realized he was trapped.Suddenly, a piece of wood fell from the roof and hit him.Sharp pain raced through his body as he looked down and found his leg bleeding.

Sibson's house was three kilometers off the main road and was so well hidden by trees that he knew calling for help would be fruitless.

Up a hill nearby lived Sibson's neighbor, Huggons.He was lying in bed when something like a smoke alarm struck his ears.He jumped out of bed, took his phone and flashlight, and headed down the hillside towards the noise.That was when he saw the rolling heavy smoke.

Huggons dialed the emergency call, and the operator warned him not to enter the house.But Huggons said,“There is no way I am going to hear Sibson scream and die in that fire.”

“Anyone there?”Huggons called out.Then he heard“Help! I'm trapped!”coming from the second floor balcony.He entered the house, but soon had to run back to catch his breath.

After one more attempt to get inside the house, Huggons gave up and circled around back.The wind parted the smoke just enough for him to catch sight of Sibson.But there was no way to get to him.

With the wind fueling the fire,there was no time to waste and the second floor seemed to be falling down in the next minute.______________________________________________

主題2 在懸崖旁邊獲救

It was May 2018, and my boyfriend, Gabe Smith, and I were driving from my home in Weyburn,to visit friends in Nelson.

At around 5：30 pm, we were driving along the Crowsnest Highway, a steep and winding mountain road.I was texting my mother when I happened to look up in time to see a huge tree in front of us on the highway.It was being pushed down by a torrent (洪流) of mud that was swallowing everything in its path.We didn't know about the recent flooding in the area, and now we were trapped in it.Gabe and I looked at each other unbelievably and said,“Oh,God.”Within seconds,our car was rolling 30 meters down to the cliffside.

I don't know how long we were unconscious, but I woke up to the sound of Gabe's moaning(呻吟).He laid beside me and his blood was everywhere.

Our car had landed on a small area among trees that had come down with the mudslide.On one side of us was the mountain.On the other side was a steep drop of about 1000 meters into a river.

I tried opening my door with a sharp pain in the chest.In addition, my left ankle had been broken.Gabe had broken his nose and cheek, as well as his chest bone, leaving him blind in his left eye and having difficulty in breathing.

As the doors were crashed out of shape, and my window failed to be opened, the only way out was through the driver's side window.Although it was difficult and painful,we both managed to get out of it.

Paragraph 1:

We sat on a rock with no phone signal,realizing all we could do was shout for help.__
