,泰坦尼克号的沉没,The loss of the Titanic,泰坦尼克号的沉没,The great ship, Titanic, sailed for New York from Southampton（南安普顿 ）on April 10th, 1912. She was carrying 1,316 passengers and crew（船员） of 891. Even by modern standards, the 46,000 ton Titanic was a colossal ship. At the time, however, she was not only the largest ship that had ever been built, but was regarded as unsinkable（不会沉没的）, for she had sixteen watertight（不漏水的） compartments（船舱）. Even if two of these were flooded, she would still be able to float（漂浮）. The tragic（悲剧的） sinking of this great liner（大客轮） will always be remembered, for she went down on her first voyage （航行）with heavy loss of life.,Four days after setting out, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy（冰冷的） water of the North Atlantic, huge iceberg（冰山） was suddenly spotted （察出）by a lookout（瞭望员）. After the alarm had been given, the great ship turned sharply to avoid a direct collision（碰撞）. The Titanic turned just in time, narrowly missing the immense （沉浸于）walk of ice which rose over 100 feet out of the water beside her. Suddenly, there was a slight trembling（打颤） sound from below, and the captain went down to see what had happened.,The noise had been so faint（微弱的） that no one though that the ship had been damaged. Below, the captain realized to his horror（极度的恐惧） that the Titanic was sinking rapidly, for five of her sixteen watertight compartments had already been flooded（溢满）! The order to abandon ship was given and hundreds of people plunged（跳入） into the icy water. As there were not enough lifeboats (救生船)for everybody, 1,500 lives were lost.,Sail for 驶向sail for A(place) from B(place) 航海从B处出发，去往A处For 后面接目的地，类似的词组还有： set out for set off for leave forhead formake for出发去往某处e.g. He will set out for the Atlantic. e.g. The plane is making for the airport. e.g. We are heading for Canada.,拓展： Row for 划向 Speed for 飞速驶向 Fly for 飞向 Leave for动身去 Eg; Im leaving for London tomorrow. 我明天动身去伦敦。A crew of 全体成员crew kru: n. 队，组；全体人员，全体船员 vi. 一起工作 vt. 使当船员 例句： Will you crew for me in tomorrows race? 你愿意在明天的赛艇比赛中充当我赛艇上的队员吗?,by standard be below/up to standard voyage make/go on a vovage voyage （海上、水上）旅行 travel （一般的）旅行 journey （规律性的）旅行 trip （短距离的）旅行 flight （空中）旅行 Sail across 横渡Across 横向（westeast）Though 纵穿（southnorth）,not onlybut also并列连词=as well asEg：he has not only knowledge but also experience。 he has experience as well as knowledge。 说明： 1.若连接两个成分作主语，其谓语通常与靠近的主语保持一致。 如：Not only you but also he has to leave. 2.不只是你，他也得离开。若连接两个句子，not only后面的句子要用倒装， 如：Not only did he speak more correctly, but he spoke more easily. 他不仅说得更正确，而且讲得更不费劲了。, regard as 把什么当做什么 相当于be considered to be；be thought of as Eg：I regard his idea as totally unacceptable.
