65岁的凯文·海德热衷于航海,有一天他邀请朋友Joe DiTommasso一起驾帆船出海航行。谁知半道儿上遇上了暴风雨,他们与外界失去了联系。救援人员多日搜救无果,偶然的一天,一艘从阿姆斯特丹开往纽约市的名为Silver Muna的大型国际货船上的一名细心的船员发现了这艘小帆船。
It’s 2023 now. Kevin Hyde is 65 years old. He loves sailing(驾船航行). He recently invited his friend, Joe DiTommasso, along with Joe’s dog, Minnie, on a sailing trip. On the way, they found themselves inside a storm at sea.
现在是2023。凯文·海德65岁了。他喜欢航海。他最近邀请了他的朋友乔·迪托马索和他的狗米妮一起航行。在路上,他们发现自己置身于一场海上风暴中。
As the ocean moved violently around them, the 50-foot mast(桅杆) of the boat broke off, so they couldn’t control the boat. Their radios didn’t work either. They could do nothing but stay at the stormy sea. When Kevin and Joe’s families lost touch with them, they reported them missing to the Coast Guard. Soon, a full search started through air and sea, but no one found them. By the 10th day at sea, they were nearly out of water and feeling more desperate than ever.
当海水在他们周围翻滚时,船上50英尺长的桅杆折断了,所以他们无法控制船的方向。他们的无线接收器也坏了。他们别无选择,只能呆在狂风暴雨的海上。当凯文和乔的家人与他们失去联系后,他们向海岸警卫队报告了他们的失踪。很快,他们在空中和海上展开了全面的搜索,但没有人找到他们。出海的第10天,他们几乎没有引用水了,他们感觉比以往任何时候都更加绝望。
Just when it seemed that all was lost, they got help from the most unbelievable source(来源): a big international ship called the Silver Muna that was traveling from Amsterdam to New York City. A worker on the ship found their boat by accident. He told his co-workers and they got to work hauling(拖) the sailors and their dog aboard the huge ship. It was not easy! It took them about 3 hours to get Kevin, Joe, and Minnie aboard. They were hungry, and tired, but they were not hurt.
就在一切似乎毫无希望的时候,他们得到了最令人难以置信的帮助:一艘名为“银穆纳”号的大型国际轮船,它正从阿姆斯特丹开往纽约。船上的一个工人偶然发现了他们的船。他告诉了他的同事们,他们开始把水手们(凯文和乔)和他们的狗拖上大船。这可不容易!他们花了大约3个小时才把凯文、乔和米妮弄上船。他们又饿又累,但他们没有受伤。
