# 33 · 冲出黑暗

### 第1段

Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her. One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm. Towards evening, the boat struck a rock and the girl jumped into the sea. Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water. During that time she covered a distance of eight miles. Early next morning, she saw a light ahead. She knew she was near the shore because the light was high up on the cliffs. On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen. That was all she remembered. When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.

中文理解：差不多过了一周，这个女孩才能说清自己经历了什么。 一天下午，她划着小船从海岸出发，碰上了暴风雨。傍晚，小船撞上礁石，她跳进了海里。 她在水里熬了整整一夜，游了八英里。第二天清早，她看见前方有一点灯光。灯在高高的悬崖上，她知道自己快靠岸了，最终游到了岸边。 一到岸边，她便吃力地爬上悬崖，向那盏灯靠近。 她能记起的就只有这些。一天后，她醒来，发现自己躺在医院里。

* **was able to**：能够；成功做到；说明能力或某次实际做到；was / were able to 常用于过去成功完成的事。

* **set out**：出发；启程；这两种表达都可说出发，目的地常用 for 引出；set up 另有意思。

* **caught in a storm**：遭遇暴风雨；caught表示意外陷入，不是抓到风暴。

* **covered a distance of**：走过……的距离；of后接距离数值，in后可补花费的时间。

* **On arriving**：一到达就……；表紧接着发生的事；逻辑主语应与主句一致。

* **found herself in hospital**：发现自己在医院；强调醒来或意识到的处境；反身代词与主语一致。

#### Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her.

复合句，主句主谓结构，后面是before 引导的时间状语从句，该从句为主谓宾结构，宾语由what 引导的从句担任，该宾语从句为主谓结构.

#### One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm.

并列句，均为主谓结构.

#### Towards evening, the boat struck a rock and the girl jumped into the sea.

并列句，and 连接两句，前句为主谓宾结构；后句为主谓结构

#### Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water.

简单句，主谓结构，后面是介词短语作时间状语，after spending the whole night in the water. 这里spending 为动名词，作after 介词宾语，该动名词仍保留动词的性质，故而有自己的宾语the whole night.

#### During that time she covered a distance of eight miles.

简单句，主谓宾结构. 本句cover 一词的用法，第5课已予以讲解.

#### She knew she was near the shore because the light was high up on the cliffs.

复合句，主句主谓 + 宾语从句结构，该宾语从句为主系表结构，后面because 引导原因状语从句，也是主系表结构.

#### On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen.

复合句，主句主谓结构，后面有一个省略了关系代词 that 的定语从句；省略的 that 作 seen 的宾语，先行词是 the light。 句首是介词短语作状语，arriving 为动名词作介词宾语.

\[关键句型] 本课复习各种介词短语，包括to, from, into, out of, for, towards, at，本句用到了at 和towards.

#### That was all she remembered.

复合句，主句主系表结构，后面有一个省略了 that 的定语从句；that 指 all，作 remembered 的宾语，因此从句应按主谓宾结构理解。

#### When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.

复合句，主句主谓宾 + 宾补结构，句首是when 引导的时间状语从句，主谓结构.

## 学完这一课

先沿这条线复述《冲出黑暗》：事后才说清经过 → 出海遇险 → 灯光引路 → 上岸后奋力爬崖 → 醒来已在医院。再借一个结构讲自己的事：选出文中的两个动作，哪个先发生？再用自己的经历写一对。
