Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note 百萬英鎊晨讀·記憶 Sailing Home This novel was about an unbelievable but genuine adventure. Its author was a black businessman who was brought up in America. In 1956, he visited Africa, his birthplace. One day, when he was wandering on the pavement near the bay enjoying the sea scenes, he lost his money and passport that he kept in an envelope. So he went to the embassy to seek help, but the ambassador with rude manners didnt permit his staff to help though he bowed to him. Staring at his impatient face, he understood that it was the fault of his skin colour that accounted for their rejection. So he decided to take a chance to sail on a small boat home. He met a large amount of difficulty but was never stopped. On the contrary, difficulty pushed him to go ahead harder. Three months later, he was spotted by a ship by accident. He was in rags indeed. A maid even screamed when bringing him a steak and pineapple dessert. Aboard, he earned his passage by working as a barber and got home finally. As for the name of his novel, he couldnt think of a better one than the phrase “Go Ahead”.劃船回家 這部小說寫的是一次令人難以置信而又真實的歷險。其作者是一位在美國被撫養(yǎng)長大的黑人商人。1956年，他回到他的出生地非洲。有一天，當(dāng)他在海灣邊的人行道上漫步欣賞海景時，他丟失了裝在信封里的錢和護(hù)照，于是向當(dāng)?shù)氐拇笫桂^尋求幫助。但是大使態(tài)度非常粗魯，即使向他鞠躬，他也不允許他的職員幫忙。盯著他那不耐煩的臉，他知道是他皮膚顏色的錯才導(dǎo)致了他們的拒絕。于是，他決定冒險駕駛一只小船回家。 他遇到了許多困難，但是從未停止，相反，困難推動他更努力地前進(jìn)。三個月后，當(dāng)他被一艘船偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)時，真的是衣衫襤褸。給他端來牛排和菠蘿甜品的女仆甚至被嚇得尖叫起來。在船上，他當(dāng)一名理發(fā)師來掙取船費，最后終于回到了家。至于這部小說的名字，他再也不能想到一個比“前進(jìn)”更好的短語了。I.單詞盤點44 1._(n.) 出生地；故鄉(xiāng) 2._(n.) 小說；長篇故事(adj.)新奇的；異常的3._(n.) 奇遇；冒險_(adj.) 愛冒險的；大膽的；危險的 _(n.) 探險家；冒險家4._(n.) 短語；詞組；慣用語 5._(n.) 著者；作家 6._ (n.)
