Lesson 33

Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her.
将近一周以后，那个女孩才能够解释她身上发生了什么。
One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm.
一个下午，她划着一艘小船从海岸出发，随后卷入了一场风暴。
Towards evening, the boat struck a rock and the girl jumped into the sea.
傍晚时分，船撞上了一块岩石，女孩跳入了海中。
Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water.
然后她在水里度过了整个夜晚后，游向了岸边。
During that time she covered a distance of eight miles.
在那段时间里，她走过了八英里的路程。
Early next morning, she saw a light ahead.
第二天清晨，她看见前方有一盏灯光。
She knew she was near the shore because the light was high up on the cliffs.
她知道她已靠近岸边，因为灯光在悬崖高处。
On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen.
一到达岸边，女孩就朝着她曾看到的灯光艰难地爬上了悬崖。
That was all she remembered.
那就是她所记得的全部。
When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.
当她一天后醒来时，她发现自己在医院。
