Then the sound of rumbling thunder reached the watchers on the shore, as cargo, ballast, ammunition and 400 people went sliding and crashing down to the port side of the steeply listing ship.
参考译文:当物口、压舱物、弹药和400个人轰地一声滑向陡斜的左舷时,岸上的观众听到了雷鸣般的轰响。
问题1:句中这种go doing(went sliding and crashing)是什么形式,表达的又是什么意思?
问题2:the steeply listing中listing有“倾斜的”的意思吗?还有前面的副词(steeply)+形容词(listing)+名词(ship)形成了the steeply listing ship,这种又是一种什么结构?学生知道这种结构在文章中是很常见的,虽然能理解其意思但想深度了解这种结构的用法。
