In 1929, three years after his flight over theNorth Pole, the American explorer, R.E. Byrd, successfully flew over the SouthPole for the first time. Though, at first, Byrd and his men were able to take agreat many photographs of the mountains that lay below, they soon ran intoserious trouble. At one point, it seemed certain that their plane would crash.It could only get over the mountains if it rose to 10,000 feet. Byrd at onceordered his men to throw out two heavy food sacks. The plane was then able torise and it cleared the mountains by 400 feet. Byrd now knew that he would beable to reach the South Pole which was 300 miles away, for there were no moremountains in sight. The aircraft was able to fly over the endless white plainswithout difficulty.

筆記:
1.知識點
(1)for the first time 表示“第一次”,time在這里表示“次”、“回”,還可以說this time, last time, next time, another time, each time, for the last time等
(2)run into trouble的含義與 get into trouble相似,表示“陷入困境”
(3)At one point, it seemed certain that their plane would crash.在有個地方,飛機似乎肯定要墜毀了。
at one point在此處可以解釋為“在有個地方”,但它通常的含義為“在某一時刻”,point指時間上的某一點:At one point, he made up his mind to become a painter. 他曾一度下決心要當個畫家。
??? (4)… it cleared the mountains by 400 feet.……它在離山頭400英尺的高度飛越了過去。
clear在這里表示“(不接觸地)越過”:He cleared 2. 10 metres.他跳過了2.10米。
by表示“以……之差”:I missed the train by ten minutes. 我晚了10分鐘,沒趕上火車。
練習感悟:
??? 本篇的長句比較多,第一遍聽的時候沒能完全聽懂。類似at one point、clear的意思不懂,也導致理解有差異。自己也有點畏難情緒,因為本篇的內容不是常見的內容,所以一開始就覺得很難,覺得自己不會。
