第029句
Having been isolated on a remote island, with little work to occupy them, the soldiers suffered from boredom and low spirits.
译文:那些士兵身处在一个与世隔绝的偏远的岛上,又无事可做,因此闲得无聊,情绪低落。
点睛:句中Having been isolated是分词结构的被动表达,意为“被隔离”;occupy oneself with的意思是“从事…,忙于…,专心于…”,因此该句中with little work to occupy them意为“没有事情可做”。
