Intensive Reading

I took off my clothes. I swam to the ship. I didn’t see a way inside the big ship. I swam around it twice. Then I saw a rope on one side of the ship. I used the rope to get up. The ship was empty. I tried to find some food.

我脱下我的衣服。我游到船上。我看不到大船里的路。我围着它游了两圈。然后我看见船一侧有一根绳子。我用绳子站了起来。船上空无一人。我试图找一些食物。

I was lucky. Some food on the ship was dry. I also found a bottle of rum. I took the bottle with me.

我很幸运。船上有一些食物是干的。我还找到了一瓶朗姆酒。我把这瓶酒 带走了。

Then I heard something. Somebody was on the ship. Who was it? Somebody from my friends? It wasn’t possible. My friends were all dead. I was a little scared. I went to the place where I heard the noises. Then I saw who it was. It was a dog. It was a dog of our captain. Now, I had a friend. I wasn’t alone.

然后我听见一些声音。有人在船上。是谁？我朋友中的某人吗？这不可能。我的朋友都死了。我有点害怕。我循声走了过去。然后我看到了是谁。是一条狗。是我们船长的一条狗。现在，我有一位朋友了。我不孤单了。
