问题     The Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan reached the great ocean in 1520. He called it "Pacific", because he found it calm after his voyage around South America. True, it does have violent storms, but generally fewer than the Atlantic.
    The mighty Pacific washes the shores of five continents—North America, South America, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica. Its waters mingle in the southeast with the Atlantic Ocean and in the southwest with the Indian Ocean. It is not on the shores of continents or in the coastal islands, however, that the soul of the great Pacific is found. It lies far out where the fabled South Sea Islands are scattered over the huge ocean like stars in the sky.

选项

答案 费迪南德.麦哲伦是一位葡萄牙探险家,他在1520年到达这个巨洋。他命名为“太平洋”,因为在绕南美洲航行之后他发现这个巨洋很平静。事实上,它有着具有破坏性的大风暴,但是风暴次数通常会比大西洋的要少。 太平洋气势磅礴,滚滚波涛拍打着五大洲海岸——北美洲、南美洲、亚洲、大洋洲和南极洲。太平洋在东南方与大西洋汇合,在西南方与印度洋相接。然而,浩瀚的太平洋最精美之处不在其大陆海岸,也不在沿海诸岛,而是在远离陆地的海域。在那里,富有神奇色彩的南太平洋诸岛像天上的繁星一样散布在广阔的海面上。
