清明假期第一天20200327The loss of Titanic~10

早晨5:12火车到站，天没亮，阴沉沉的，下了火车才发现还下着小雨，雾蒙蒙的，车站周围的小店也黑着灯，没有开门。幸亏有爸爸开着三轮车来接我，本来约着去看牙，但走到目的地，发现只是个小门诊，没有明确的门牌，不太靠谱，就在附近逛了逛，刚买了些菜和一双鞋，三轮电车警报急需充电，在就近的充电桩充了三块钱的电，走了2公里又在喊“请充电”，可能因为天气冷的原因，电充的慢，担心返程路上没有充电桩，无奈之下只有返回那个充电桩，继续充电，大半天时间消耗在充电上了。

也是因为电车的缘故，不得不早早回家，终于在电量耗尽之前到家，从上午11:00开始充电，目前已经到了晚上8:30了，电车的电还没有充满，没有代步工具也无法外出，清明假期的第1天就这样过去了。

The loss of Titanic~10

The great ship Titanic sailed for New York from  Southampton on april 10, 1912. She was carrying 1316 passengers and a crew of 891. Even by modern standards, the 46000 ton Titanic was a colossal巨大的 ship巨轮. All that times, however, she was not only the largest ship that had ever been built but was regarded as unsinkable for she had 16 water-tight不透水的，无懈可击的，十分完美的 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航行 with heavy loss of life.

Four days after setting out, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy waters of the  North Atlantic, A huge iceberg was suddenly spotted by a look-out瞭望员. 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巨大的 wall of ice which rose over 100 feet out of the water besides her. Suddenly there was a slight  trembling sound微颤声 from below, and the captain went down to see what had happened. The noise had been so faint轻微 that no one thought that the ship had been damaged. Below, the captain realized to his horror惊恐的 that the Titanic was sinking rapidly, for five of her 16 water-tight compartments had already been flooded. The order to abandon ship was given and hundreds of people plunged into跳进 the icy water. As there were not enough life-boats for everyone, 1500 lives were lost.
