} The great ship, Titanic, sailed for New York from Southampton on April 10th, 1912. She was carrying 1,316 passengers and crew of 891. Even by modern standards, the 46,000 ton Titanic was a colossal ship. At that time, however, she was not only the largest ship that had ever been built, but was regarded as unsinkable, for she had sixteen watertight compartments. Even if two of these were flooded, she would still be able to float. The tragic sinking of this great liner will always be remembered, for she went down on her first voyage with heavy loss of life.
} ship that had ever been built :
这种用法在美国口语中非常常见,见一下两个例子:
This is the most romantic disease I‘ve ever had.
这是我得过的最浪漫的病。
You’re the most beautiful bride I’ve ever seen.
你是我见过的最美丽的新娘。
} Four days after setting out, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy water of the North Atlantic, a huge iceberg was suddenly spotted by a lookout. After the alarm had been given, the great ship turned sharply to avoid a direct collision.The Titanic turned just in time, narrowly missing the immense wall of ice which rose over 100 feet out of the water beside her. Suddenly, there was a slight trembling sound from below, and the captain went down to see what had happened.
} from below: (介词+副词连用)
注意一下这个词,这个词很多时候都念做/blэu/,也可以念成
/bil эu / ,但是我见得多的都是念做/blэu/。from below 是介词+副词的连用。
It appears from nowhere!
它不知道从哪里出现的。
I saw them from outside.
我在外面看到他们。
Someone in here?
有人在吗?这几句话后面都是介词+副词。
} The noise had been so faint that no one thought that the ship had been damaged. Below, the captain realized to his horror that the Titanic was sinking rapidly, for five of her sixteen watertight compartments had already been flooded! The order to abandon ship was given and hundreds of people plunged into the icy water. As there were not enough lifeboats for everybody, 1,500 lives were lost.
} Faint:
faint 是指微弱。我给出的这句话是托福听力上的原句。意思是说有的物体太微弱了,仅仅用望远镜才能看到他们。
Objects that are too faint to be seen by just looking through a telescope.

If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

Man, talk about weird commenters… To the previous commenter - what the heck are you talking about?
Hey, check it out, this comment is made by an advanced artificial intelligence robot. I will soon take over the world.
I don’t think it’s up to anyone to judge what people’s posts should be about. Why not allow everyone to just say what they want (in designated threads, ofcourse)?
I write like mad, every day, and no one visits my blog, that looks similar to yours. What could I be doing wrong?
I’m not sure I agree with you on some key points. Do you allow guest blog posts? I’d love to write on this topic.
I don’t suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.
