The Last Days of Pompeii (excerpt)Language points Pompeii was a typical Roman city. In its little shops,its tiny palaces, its forum, its wine bars, its theatrein the energy and skill of its people, you saw a model of the whole Roman Empire.Trading ships bringing imports to the city or carrying exports overseas, along with golden pleasure boats for the rich, were crowded together in the glassy water of the port. The boats of the fisherman moved rapidly in all directions.Above all, the cloud-capped top of Mount Vesuvius appeared. Its ashy rocks, now dark, now light, told a story of past eruptions that might have warned the city what was to come!庞贝城是一座典型的罗马城市。从它的一个个小小商铺、一座座小殿宇、广场、酒馆、剧场中从庞贝人的获利和技艺中，你能看到整个古罗马帝国的缩影。进口货物到城内、出口货物到海外的商船，以及富贵人家金灿灿的游船，齐聚在港口波光粼粼的水面上。条条渔船向着四面八方疾行。在这一切的上方，云雾笼罩的维苏威火山山顶若隐若现。火山岩忽明忽暗，讲述着几度喷发的往事，这原本可以警告这座城市里的人们，即将到来的是什么！Language points -Checktype-typicaltinypalace-the Summer Palaceimport/exportoverseasalong with/together withappear/disappearashy/glassyin all directionsnow dark,now lightTrading ship the cloud-capped top ofportforumwine barpleasure boat可怕的夜晚缓缓退去，晦暗的晨光开启了庞贝城的末日！人们抬头仰望，眼前景象让他们感到莫名恐惧，只见一团庞大的云正从火山口喷薄而出。它形似一株巨树：树干，黑魆魆的；枝叶，那是火！火焰翻腾着，颜色变幻不定，时而极明亮，时而又变得微弱，呈现熄灭之前的暗红，时而又烧起来，放出刺眼的强光！The awful night rolled slowly away, and the dawn greyly broke on THE LAST DAYOF POMPEII! The crowd looked upwards, and saw, with unspeakable fear, a huge cloud shooting from the top of the volcano. It took the form of a huge tree: the trunk, blackness, the branches, fire! This fire moved and changed in color with every moment: now it was wildly bright, now of a pale and dying red, and now again it burnt with an unbearable light!Language points -Checkslow awaythe dawn broke.look upwardswildly/extremelyshoot-shot-shottake the form oftrunk/branchblacknessdyingunspeakableunbearablepaleThe cries of women broke out; the men looked at each other, but were silent. At that moment, they felt the earth shaking beneath their feet;beyond in the distance, they heard the crash of falling roofs. A moment later, the mountain-cloud seemed to roll towards them, dark and rapid, like a river; at the same time, it threw out a shower of ashes and huge pieces of burning stone! Over the empty streets-over the forum-far and wide-with many a noisy crash in the stormy sea-fell that awful shower!女人们开始尖叫；男人们面面相觑，却都一言不发。那一刻，他们感受到脚下的大地正在开始颤抖，他们听到远处有屋顶坍塌的巨响。过了片刻，山上的云团似乎正向他们滚滚而来。阴沉迅猛，如汹涌的江水；与此同时，云团中抛洒下阵雨似的火山灰和大块大块燃烧着的石头，落在空荡荡的街道，落在广场上，四面八方，还有许多掉在波涛汹涌的大海里，发出阵阵巨响下了一场可怕的 大雨！Language points -Checkbreak out criessilent-silenceshake-shook-shakenburst into tearsbeneathin the distancehear-heard-heardcrashroofthrow outa shower ofhuge pieces ofemptyburningfar and widenoise-noisystorm-stormyawful showerEach turned to fly-each running, pressing, pushing against the other. If, in the darkness, wife was seperated from husband, or parent from child, there was no hope of their meeting again. Each hurried blindly and fearfully on. So came the earthquake. and so ended life in Pompeii.所有人都赶忙飞奔一他们奔跑，拥挤，你推我搡。黑暗中，一旦妻离子散，就绝不可能重逢了。每个人都惊慌失措地盲目奔逃。这时，地震来了.庞贝城的生活就此终结。Language points -Checkpressseparate fromno hope ofhurryblindlyfearfullyNearly seventeen centuries had rolled away before the city of Pompeii was dug from its silent resting place. Its walls were fresh as if painted yesterday; not a single color changed on the rich pattern of its floors. In its forum, the half-finished columns seemed as if just left by the workmans hand. Long after fire and ash came for the people of Pompeii, the remains of their beautiful city survive to remind us that human lives burn bright and short.时间流过了近十七个世纪，庞贝城终于从它寂静的长眠之地被发掘出来。它的墙壁依然新得像昨天刚刚刷完；地板上繁复的图案，一点都没有褪色。广场上，那些尚未完工的石柱看起来就像刚刚离开工匠之手。在大火和火山灰袭击庞贝人很久很久之后，他们美丽城市的遗迹得以留存下来，提醒我们人类的生命灿烂而短暂。Language points -CheckNearly/aboutcenturyroll awaydig-dug-dugresting placefreshpaintrich patternforumhalf-finishedcoloumnsremainssurviveremind
