单词连连串(unit 2所学新单词)
目前，有很多中国人因为淘金来到加纳(ghana).带着发财的梦想，他们通常会经历艰难航程才到那里，因为这并非是官方的。然而，天下没有免费的(there is no such thing as…）午餐。尽管他们充分利用每一分钟去淘金(dig for gold)，而事实上却很少人成功。相反(on the contrary)，他们经常面临当地人的频繁抢劫(frequent robbery)。有些人失去了生命，尽管不该被杀死。逐渐地，很多人意识到金子不该是他们生活中最重要的，所以他们中有些人已经在家人的请求(at the request of sb)下回家了。
At present, a very large number of Chinese people come up to Ghana because of the attraction of gold. With the dream of becoming rich, they usually make a hard voyage to arrive there because it is not official. However, there is no such thing as free lunch in the world. Although they try to make full use of every minute to dig for gold, actually few of them succeed. On the contrary, they are often faced with frequent robbery from the natives there. Some people lost their lives even if they shouldn’t. Gradually, more than one of them recognized that gold could not play the most important part in their life. So some of them have been back home at the request of their family.
