英语小达人每天10分钟冒险篇Unit 24：激流泛舟

Unit 24 White Water Rafting   激流泛舟

Waves splashed in Chris' face as his raft glided over rocks. He kept his paddle deep in the water to keep him and his crew balanced. The rapids were wild today and he didn't want any accidents. For some of his passengers, this was his first time. He didn't want anyone falling in.
克利斯的木筏滑过石头时，浪花飞溅到他的脸上。他把浆维持在深水处，让他自己和所有的人都能保持平衡。今天河水相当湍急，他可不想有任何意外发生。船上乘客有些人是第一次遇到这种情况，他不希望有人掉到河里去。

The rapids continued to pick up. Chris did not like the look of things, nor did he like the look of fear on the faces behind him.
急流越来越大，克利斯不喜欢眼前这种景象，更不喜欢身后那群人脸上恐惧的神情。
The raft was getting out of control and as they neared a fork in the river, he noticed they were heading right to the waterfall. this is exactly where he did not want the raft to go. He told everyone to put his or her paddles in the water on the right side and lean as much as possible. One of the women screamed when she saw the falls. "Don't worry,"Chris called.

木筏渐渐失控，而当他们接近一道岔流时，注意到他们正往右边瀑布的方向划过去。木筏万万不可往那个方向前进，于是他叫所有人把自己的浆都放到右手边那一侧，并且尽可能把身体往那边倾斜。有名妇女看到瀑布后尖叫了起来。“不要担心，”克利斯对着右手边大叫道。
Stay to the right. Just as he hoped, with all the paddles on the side, the boat veered off and away from the falls. Chris had saved from going off the edge.
当所有的浆都朝向同一侧时，正如克利斯所希望的，船终于转向远离那道瀑布了。克利斯把大家从死亡边缘给救了回来。
