核心句型:
The good
seaman1 is known in bad weather.
惊涛骇浪,方显英雄本色。
The good seaman is known in bad weather.本义是指:“要识好水手,全凭坏气候”,将其意义扩展一下也就是汉语里说的:“惊涛骇浪,方显英雄本色”。因此,当美国人说"The good seaman is known in bad weather."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"A hero can only succeed when he lives through tempestutous waves."、"A man's real ability can be highlighted in a difficult situation."。
情景对白:
