reading. He Lost His Arm But Is Still Climbing
Aron Ralston is an American man who is
interested in mountain climbing. As a mountain
climber, Aron is used to taking risks. This is one
of the exciting things about doing dangerous
sports. There were many times when Aron
almost lost his life because of accidents. On
April 26, 2003, he found himself in a very
dangerous situation when climbing in Utah.On that day, Aron’s arm was caught under a
360-kilo rock that fell on him when he was
climbing by himself in the mountains. Because
he could not free his arm, he stayed there for
five days and hoped that someone would find
him. But when his water ran out, he knew that
he would have to do something to save his own
life. He was not ready to die that day. So he
used his knife to cut off half his right arm.
Then, with his left arm, he bandaged himself so
that he would not lose too much blood. After
that, he climbed down the mountain to find
help.After losing his arm, he wrote a book called
Between a Rock and a Hard Place. This means
being in a difficult situation that you cannot
seem to get out of. In this book, Aron tells of the
importance of making good decisions, and of
being in control of one’s life. His love for
mountain climbing is so great that he kept on
climbing mountains even after this experience.
Do we have the same spirit as Aron? Let’s think
about it before we find ourselves “between a
rock and a hard place”,and before we have to
make a decision that could mean life or death.Words Meanings

1.After losing his arm, he wrote a book called
2. Between a Rock and a Hard Place.
3.失去手臂之后, 他写了一本名为《生死两难》的书。
“Between a Rock and a Hard Place 是一本书的书
名, 可译作《生死两难》。其本身是英语中的
一个固定习语,表示在艰难或危险的处境下“从
两难中进行选择”, 意为“ 左右为难;进退两难”E.g.: Who will you save when your mother and
your wife fall into the water? For many
people, it’s between a rock and a hard place.
当你放入母亲和妻子同时落水,你会救谁?
对很多人说这是一个两难的问题。 2. This means being in a difficult situation that
you cannot seem to get out of.
他的意思是“处于一个你似乎无法摆脱的困境中”。
1)此处mean 表示“……意思是;意为”,用来解
释上句出现在书名中的习语的意思。再如:
What do you mean? 你的意思是什么?
此外, mean 还可以表示“意味着”的意思。如:
…before we have to make a decision that could
mean life or death.
在我们不得不做出可能意味着生死的决定之前…2)a difficult situation that you cannot seem to
get out of 和a decision that could mean life or
death 均为定语从句。在前者中,从句that you
cannot seem to get out of 修饰名词situation;
在后者中,从句that could mean life or death 修
饰decision。3. Aron is used to taking risks.
be used to 意为“习惯于”,其中to是
介词,其后要接名词或V-ing形式。
I used to live in London.

used to do sth. 意为“过去常常做某事”。4. His love for mountain climbing is so

是副词,常可用来修饰形容词或副词。

himself.
