v.改編,適應(yīng)《莫斯肯漩渦沉浮記》Maelstr?m:apowerfulwhirlpoolintheseaorocean.Moskoe-strom:alsoknownasMoskstraumen,isasystemoftidalwhirlpoolsintheNorwegianSea,whichisoneofthestrongestintheworld.ThetermwasfirstintroducedintotheEnglishlanguagebyEdgarAllanPoein1841throughhisshortstory“ADescentintotheMaelstr?m”.FactFile默斯肯漩渦（Moskenstraumen）默斯肯漩渦（Moskenstraumen）是真實存在的自然現(xiàn)象，位于挪威北部羅弗敦群島附近海域，具體在莫斯肯島與赫爾辛根山之間的開闊海面上。?

這一漩渦的形成主要受潮汐、強風(fēng)以及當(dāng)?shù)厮碌孛驳墓餐绊懀绕涫前肴粘钡姆茸兓s4米）和深層海流遇到淺海脊時的相互作用。?其規(guī)模和強度因條件而異：在漲潮或退潮時，可能形成直徑約4至6公里的漩渦，水流速度可達2至3米每秒，但實際觀測中，由于直徑較大且水流速度相對溫和，船只通常難以直接察覺明顯的漩渦效應(yīng)。?需要注意的是，盡管文學(xué)作品（如愛倫·坡的小說《莫斯可漩渦沉溺記》）曾將其描繪為巨大危險，但現(xiàn)代科學(xué)研究表明，它并不像傳說中那樣致命，僅在特定氣象條件下才會表現(xiàn)出較強的水流活動。?默斯肯漩渦的名稱源自挪威語，意為“流速很快的河”，反映了其本質(zhì)是強烈的潮流而非傳統(tǒng)意義上的狹窄海峽漩渦。?該現(xiàn)象也因文學(xué)作品而廣為人知，例如在《三體》等作品中被提及，但真實情況更側(cè)重于科學(xué)研究和自然地理特征。?EdgarAllanPoe

(1809-1849)wasanAmericanwriter,bestknownforhispoetryandshortstories,particularlyhismysterytales.

埃德加·愛倫·坡（EdgarAllanPoe，1809—1849）是美國文學(xué)史上極具影響力的作家、詩人、編輯與文學(xué)評論家，被譽為偵探小說之父、科幻小說先驅(qū)和恐怖小說大師。他的作品以幽暗、詭譎、唯美與心理深度著稱，對后世文學(xué)、藝術(shù)乃至流行文化產(chǎn)生了深遠影響?！赌窠謨礆浮罚═heMurdersintheRueMorgue，1841）：文學(xué)史上第一部現(xiàn)代偵探小說，塑造了業(yè)余偵探奧古斯特·杜賓這一形象，開創(chuàng)了“密室謀殺”“天才推理”等模式，影響了柯南·道爾等后世作家?！稙貘f》（TheRaven，1845）：最具代表性的敘事詩。通過烏鴉對敘述者重復(fù)“永不復(fù)還”（Nevermore），渲染對逝去愛人的哀悼與無法逃脫的絕望，韻律感極強，富有音樂性?！剁娐暋罚═heBells，1849）：通過不同鐘聲（銀鈴、金鐘、銅鐘、鐵鐘）象征人生從童年到死亡的階段，實驗性地運用音韻模仿聲音，體現(xiàn)詩歌的音樂性。愛倫·坡以其獨特的黑暗美學(xué)、形式創(chuàng)新與心理深度，在文學(xué)史上占據(jù)了不朽地位。他不僅開創(chuàng)了多種文學(xué)類型，更將短篇敘事推向藝術(shù)化的高度，其作品至今仍在全球激發(fā)著創(chuàng)作與解讀的熱情。正如他所說：“我所有的作品都是心靈的日記”——這些“日記”記錄了對人類永恒困境的深邃凝視。1.When(time)2.Where(place)3.Who(character)4.Why(cause)5.What(event)6.How(outcome)onedayaboutthreeyearsagointheseathewriterandhistwobrothers.meetawhirlpooltheboatwaspulledintothewhirlpool.onlythewritersurviveThesixfactorsinastory:Task2Readthestoryagain.Completetheinformationintheboxes.Thenaddthestoryteller’sfeelingsduringeachsituation.ReadandExploreWhenwewerecomingbackfromtheislands,thesky_______________________.Thenahugewave________________andmyyoungerbrother________________.Myelderbrother___________“Moskoe-strom!”Thestoryteller’sfeelings:wascoveredwithdarkcloudscoveredourboatfellintotheseacriedoutfrightenedThewindandthewavescarriedus________________________________.Then,wewere________________
