Spruance had been bemoaning the way they had missed the coral sea battle . 斯普鲁恩斯对他们没有赶上参加珊瑚海之战一事表示惋惜。
The flare hit the conerete wall beside the door, burst and burned brightly on the coral road . 子弹打在门边混凝土墙面上,炸了,就在珊瑚石路面上熊熊燃烧起来。
But with enviable skill the steersman rode with the swells and headed his canoe toward the perilous opening in the coral wall . 但是,舵手以令人叹服的技巧乘着波浪猛地拨正船头,船对准了珊瑚墙上那个危险的豁口。
Within the irregular are of coral the lagoon was still as a mountain lake-blue of all shades and shadowy green and purple . 在珊瑚礁不规则的弧形圈里,环礁湖平静的象一个山潭--湖水呈现各种细微色差的蓝色、墨绿色和紫色。
Beyond the coral reef the open sea is dark blue 珊瑚礁之外的大海是一片深蓝色。
Corals are marine animals in class Anthozoa of phylum Cnidaria typically living in compact colonies of many identical individual "polyps". The group includes the important reef builders that inhabit tropical oceans and secrete calcium carbonate to form a hard skeleton.
