特别说明：翻译只按英文原始语序做直译，文字组织可能比较奇怪，由大家自己按照直译的各部分场景在心中构建句子本身所描述的场景，不作任何语序调整。

解读过程：我们会标注出：1. 动词部分（do+V / be+Ving/ be+Ven / have+Ven/ 情+V），2. 介词，3. Ving形式，4. to+V形式，5. Ven形式，6. 从句引导词，7. 连接词 ，

标识： (介) (连) (从) (toV) (Ving) (Ven) (x式动词)

大家会发现所有的句子都是由上述7种词像一个手一样拉起其前后的名词短语或句子构建而成，同时，这7种词以其词义表明其前后两部分的逻辑关系，这7种词前面内容通常被后面的内容修饰或说明或描述。

还有一些副词（Adv），以斜体标识，副词可以在句子的任何位置，修饰其前后的各种内容

I have the two oars and the tiller and the short club.” Now they have beaten me, he thought. I am too old to club sharks to death. But I will try it as long as I have the oars and the short club and the tiller. He put his hands in the water again to soak them."
