船上给孩子们讲故事:The diamond in the rough

一艘破旧却可靠的船在海上航行,水手给孩子们讲起神灯的故事。一句 This boat has seen us through many a storm.(这船陪我们渡过许多风暴)把旧船写活了,传说中的少年又被说成 The diamond in the rough.(未经打磨的璞玉)。想学讲故事时那种文气又上口的句子,这段开场很值得听。

发生了什么

一艘船在夜色里航行,水手给围坐的孩子们讲起神灯的故事,孩子追问一盏灯到底有什么特别,答案却是这可不是普通的灯。故事刚开头,一句 This boat has seen us through many a storm(这船陪我们渡过许多风暴)把老船写得有情有义,more than it seems(不止表面看起来那样)则暗示这片土地藏着秘密;说到传说中那个外表普通却内里出众的人,用的是 The diamond in the rough(未经打磨的璞玉)。想学讲故事的漂亮开场、夸人也夸得含蓄,这几句很够用。
