Hint:

Mike



As we passed under the trees Mike noted that he almost studied forestry. But then his foster parents had convinced him that studying people would be more interesting. They never thought it would take him forever to do his research in either field. It was indeed a formidable storm. They had had several forums about whether to leave or not, but each time the captain said he could foresee no way across the rough water. Luckily the captain had some incredible formula for herbal tea. But he wouldn't part with the plants he used or how he formulated the tea. He said that it was part of his grandfather's secret formulary. He impressed them with several other incredible meals, all from the weeds and plants around them. A fortnight later they came out of the woods. Their stay in the woods hadn't been part of their planned trip format, but when they returned to school several weeks later it was the part they remembered most fondly.
当我们从一些树下面经过时,迈克提到他差点儿学林学。当时,他的养父母劝他说研究人会更有趣。他们从没想过无论是林学还是人类学,他的研究都是永无止境的。这场暴风雨还真的挺可怕。就是否离开的问题他们已经讨论过好几次了,但每次队长都说他无法预见任何穿过惊涛骇浪的办法。幸好船长有一种药草茶的神奇配方,但他不愿泄露用的是什么植物及配制的方法,因为他说这些配方是他祖父传下来的秘密药典的一部分。他还用附近的杂草和植物做了另外几道令人难以置信的菜,给他们留下了深刻的印象。两个星期之后他们走出了树林。他们的林中逗留本来不在他们制订的旅行计划之中,可是当他们几个星期后回到学校时,这次经历成了他们最甜蜜的回忆。
