　　课文理解
　　Ⅰ.背景介绍
　　1. Hurricane：a tropical storm in which winds attain speeds greater than 75 miles (121 kilometers) per hour. The term is often restricted to those storms occurring over the North Atlantic Ocean. Incipient（初始的）hurricanes usually form over the tropical Atlantic Ocean and mature as they drift westward. Hurricanes also occasionally form off the west coast of Mexico and move northeastward from that area. An average of 3.5tropical storms per year eventually mature into hurricanes along the east coast of North America，usually over the Caribbean Sea or Gulf of Mexico.
　　Similar storms occurring over the West Pacific Ocean and China Seas are called typhoons and those over the Indian Ocean are called tropical cyclones（热带方旋风）.Hurricanes are given girls，names and typhoons are given serial numbers（序号）.The National Weather Service of the United States has used girls，names to identify hurricanes in the Atlantic,Caribbean，and Gulf of Mexico since 1953 and the names were given in alphabetical order（按字母川页序）.A semi-pennanent list of 10 sets of names in alphabetical order was established in 1971. This practice of giving girls’ names to hurricanes has changed recently. In 1980 a hurricane was given a man ’ s name and was called Hurricane David.
　　飓风，是一股巨大而强劲的风暴，旋转的风速可达每小时120公里，常被气象学家称为热带风暴。它一般都以每小时20公里的速度，沿着通常的风向掠过海面。通常飓风在热带大西洋开始成形，然后逐渐在西移的过程中完全形成。有时也会在墨西哥西岸开始成形，然后逐渐朝东北方向移动。在北美洲东岸地区，加勒比海和海港湾上空，每年平均有3.5次风暴会形成飓风。发生在西太平洋和中国海上的类似风暴被称作台风，形成于印度洋的风暴叫热带风暴。1953年以来，美国国家气象台用女性名字来命名大西洋、加勒比海和墨西哥海湾的飓风，这些名字按字母顺序排列。一个半球性的，按字母排序排列的十组姓名名单于1971年被确定。用女性姓名来命名飓风的习惯近来巳有所改变。1980年人们用男子姓名命名了一场飓风，叫戴维号飓风。
　　2. Hurricane Betsy： Betsy was a huge storm，which lashed Florida， Mississippi and Louisiana in 1965 from Sept. 7—10，causing the death of 75 persons.
　　飓风贝齐，卡米尔飓风前的一次飓风，发生于1965年9月7至10日，造成75人死亡。
　　Ⅱ.全文概述
　　Ⅲ.美文欣赏及写作特点
　　The text is a piece of narration，which is organized as follows：introduction， develop-ment，climax and conclusion. The first 6 paragraphs are introductory paragraphs，giving the time，place，and background of the conflict——man versus hurricanes，as well as the charac-ters .The writer then describes how the Koshaks and their friends struggled against each onslaught (冲击）of the hurricane in a chronological order(以时间顺序)from Paragraph 7 to Paragraph 26. The story reaches its climax in Paragraph 27 and from there on the story moves rapidly to its conclusion. In the last paragraph the writer states his theme in the reflection of Grandmother Koshak：“ We lost practically all possessions，but the family came through it. When I think of that ，I realize we lost nothing important.
　　Lexically，in order to embody the ferocity of the hurricane，the writer makes effective use of verbs，such as lash，pummel，demolish，lap，swipe，skim，swath，snap，smash， slashing，etc. Syntactically，the writer uses many elliptical and short simple sentences to heighten tension and help create a sense of danger and urgency. John Koshak，s urgent orders—“Back to the house!”“Count the children！Count nine!”“Everybody on the stairs!”— are good examples. Rhetorically, the writer employs several rhetorical devices including simile，metaphor and personification to enhance the vividness of the language.
　　The writer portrays the characters in a heroic and appreciative way. Confronted with the formidable(难以应付的）hurricane，the characters show firm determination and utmost courage to fight against the natural disaster. Their mutual encouragement signifies the humanistic greatness，which the writer mainly strives for in the story. For example，the adults always put the children in the first place; Charlie，John，s close friend，takes responsibility for the neighbor mother and her two children ； grandparents gently express deep love to each other. After they survive，their faith in life and optimism lead them to start all over in rebuilding their home. All of them know that nothing is more important than human lives，which is the theme or the purpose behind the story.
　　这篇课文是一篇叙述文，文章结构包括引言、发展、高潮和结局四个部分。开头 6段是引言部分，交代了故事发生的时间、地点、人物以及背景。在第7到第26段中，作者依照时间顺序叙述了科夏克一家和他们的朋友与飓风抗争的经过。故事在第 27段达到了髙潮，然后随着飓风离境，人物获救，故事进入了结局部分。作者在最后一段点明了文章的主题:野我们虽然在物质上损失殆尽，但一家人却幸存了下来。这样一想，我就觉得我们并没有损失什么重要的东西。”
　　从词法上看，作者为了准确地体现飓风的磅礴气势，在文章中运用了大量的具体
　　动词，如 lash，pummel，demolish，lap，swipe，skim，swath，snap，smash，slashing等。从句法上看，作者通过许多省略句和短促的简单句来制造紧张感和危机感。如约翰?科夏克在危机关头的命令：“回到房子里去!”“数数孩子们，一共九个!”“快上楼!”另外，作者也通过修辞手法的运用，如明喻、暗喻、拟人等，使得语言更加生动形象。
　　Ⅳ.核心内容解析
　　1. Face to Face with Hurricane Camille：Confronted with Hurricane Camille(直面飓风卡米尔的来袭)face to face有“面对面，面临，对抗”之意，通常指面临危险、困难或难以解决的问题，暗示事态紧急且具危险性，如:face to face with the enemy / tiger / problem。
　　2.John Koshak，Jr. ：Son John Koshak(小约翰?科夏克）置于姓名后表示同名父子中的子或同姓两人中的较年幼者，如Brown，Jr.小布朗。
