嗯，（非常）碰巧有天早上我買了份報(bào)紙，看到了有關(guān)南極探險(xiǎn)的廣告。與偉大的歐內(nèi)斯特·沙克爾頓爵士一起去南極探險(xiǎn)，這是我一直夢(mèng)寐以求的探險(xiǎn)。我已經(jīng)做好了準(zhǔn)備。我19歲，身體健康，精力充沛。然而，當(dāng)我申請(qǐng)加入探險(xiǎn)隊(duì)時(shí)，沙克爾頓拒絕了我，因?yàn)樗J(rèn)為我太年輕，沒(méi)有資格。但我對(duì)和他們一起去探險(xiǎn)的想法是如此熱情，于是我偷偷上了他的船“堅(jiān)忍號(hào)”，并且藏在了一個(gè)小碗柜里。Unfortunately,threedaysafterwesetoffIwasdiscovered.Shackletondidnotwanttoturnbacksoheofferedmeajob,butonlyafterhepromisedme,"Ifanyonehastobeeaten,thenyouwillbethefirst!"Heassignedmetobeasteward,andInowservemealsfortwenty-eightmen,threetimesaday.HoweveryonewillenvymewhenIcomebackandtellthemabouttheamazingplacesIhavebeento！不幸的是，我們出發(fā)三天后，我就被發(fā)現(xiàn)了。沙克爾頓不想返航（把我送回），所以他給了我一份工作，但他還向我保證，“如果有人必須被吃掉，那么你將是第一個(gè)！”他派我去當(dāng)服務(wù)員，我現(xiàn)在為二十八個(gè)人一天做三次飯。當(dāng)我回來(lái)告訴大家我去過(guò)的那些神奇地方時(shí)，大家會(huì)多么羨慕我??！HowtheauthorjoinedtheEnduranceexpedition.Self-learningguidanceII(6’)1.Readpara2andtranslateitbyyourselvesloudly.2.Getthemainideaofpara2.
