The bodies of two other students, Xu Haotian and Xu Zhexing, were dragged from the water on Thursday.

周四下午，两名失踪学生的遗体被打捞上岸。至此，太湖游艇事故的遇难者已增至四人。

遇难者：

吴佳易，22岁，华东政法大学学生，本次活动的兼职导游;

【讲解】

文中的###“yachting accident”就是游艇事故的意思。这里yacht用作动词，表示“乘游艇，驾游艇”。此外也可以作名词，表示“游艇、快艇、轻舟”。accident 表示“事故;意外”。常用的搭配有“major accident”重大事故、“car/automobile accident”车祸、“nuclear accident”核事故。
