第029句

Having been isolated on a remote island, with little work to occupy them, the soldiers suffered from boredom and low spirits.

译文：那些士兵身处在一个与世隔绝的偏远的岛上，又无事可做，因此闲得无聊，情绪低落。

点睛：句中Having been isolated是分词结构的被动表达，意为“被隔离”；occupy oneself with的意思是“从事…，忙于…，专心于…”，因此该句中with little work to occupy them意为“没有事情可做”。
