Lesson33 Out of the darkness
课文内容:
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 nextmorning, she saw a light ahead. She knew she was near the shore because the light was high up on the cliffs. Onarriving 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.

asleep adj.睡着的(作表语)→ sleep n./v.睡觉
awake adj.醒着v.叫醒(作形容询时作表语)→ wake v.叫醒,醒来
alike adj.相像的(作表语) → like v.喜欢 prep.像……一样adj.相像的,类似的(作形容词既可作定语,又可作表语)
arise v.产生,发生,出现 → rise v.起来;上涨,上升
across prep/adv.穿过,横过 → cross v.穿过,横过
await v.等候 → wait v.等候(不能直接加宾语)
aloud adv.大声地(与read, call, cry等词连用,无比较级和级形式)→ loud adv.大声地,响亮地(常与talk, speak, shout, laugh等连用,比较级为louder,级为loudest)
逐句精讲:
1、Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her.
几乎过了一个星期,那姑娘才能讲述自己的遭遇。
语言点1 此句还可改为:
It has been nearly a week before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her.
再例:Nearly five hours passed before he came.几乎过了五个小时,他才过来。
语言点2 what had happened to her为explain的宾语从句。
例:Can you explain why you did not go to school? 你能解释一下为什么没去上学吗?
2、One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm.
一天下午,她乘小船从海岸出发,遇上了一场风暴。
语言点1 one afternoon某一个下午(参考Lesson32课文分析)
语言点2 was caught in被卷入
3、Towards evening, the boat struck a rock and the girl jumped into the sea.
天将黑时,小船撞上了一块礁石,姑娘跳进了海里。
语言点1 towards evening = toward evening接近晚上,天将黑时 toward在美式英语中更常见,而在英式英语中towards是主要形式。
语言点2 strike意为“撞上,打击”过去式为struck,过去分词英式为struck,美式为stricken。
重要短语:on strike罢工;strike hands达成协议,成交;air strike空袭
4、Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water.
她在海里游了整整一夜才游到岸边。
语言点1 after在此为介词,所以后接动名词spending
重要语法:after/before加动名词作状语,其逻辑主语一定要与主句的主语相同。例:After walking down the street,be turned left and disappeared.
在走到街尾时,他向左转,然后消失了。
Before leaving for Shanghai, I washed my bedsheet.
在去上海之前,我把床单洗了。
5、During that time she covered a distance of eight miles.

语言点1 during that time是过去时间状语,与covered呼应。

那个时候,我是《新东方校报》的主编。
语言点2 cover a distance of eight miles = cover eight miles 游了8英里

语言点 ahead可作表语形容词,也可以作副词。
7、She knew she was near the shore because the light was high up on the cliffs.
她知道已经接近岸边了,因为那灯光是在高高的峭壁上。
语言点 本句句式结构:She was near the shore为宾语从句,because引导原因状语从句。
8、On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen.
到达岸边后,姑娘朝着她看到的灯光方向挣扎着往峭壁上爬去。

10、When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.
第二天她醒来时,发现自己躺在医院里。
语言点1 本句中when引导时间状语从句。
