参考译文

   几乎过了一个星期, 那姑娘才能讲述自己的遭遇. 一天下午, 她乘小船从海岸出发, 遇上了风暴. 天将黑时, 小船撞在了一块礁石上, 姑娘跳进了海里. 她在海里游了整整一夜才游到岸边. 在那段时间里, 她游了8英里. 第二天凌晨, 她看到前方有灯光, 知道自己已经接近岸边了, 因为那灯光是在高高的峭壁上. 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. 她所记得的就是这些. 第二天她醒来时, 发现自己躺在医院里.

第三部分 LANGUAGE POINTS

1、One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm.
one afternoon:注意该时间状语前不加介词
set out:出发
be caught in a storm:遇上了风暴
be caught in：突然赶上了...，陷入...(一般不太好的事)

2、She swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water.
after（prep.）+
the water:the sea water

3、Early next morning, she saw a light ahead.
early next morning:第2天一大早
early in the morning：一大早

4、On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen.
on arriving at the shore:on+动名词短语，做时间状语（相当于as soon as she arrived at the shore,...）
the light she had seen前省略that/which

5、That was all she remembered.
That was all（that） she remembered:因为定语从句中，关系代词that充当宾语成分，可省略
在代词all后，如跟定语从句，它后面引导定语从句的关系代词只能用that，不能用which

6、When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.
find oneself in hospital:发现自己躺在医院
find oneself...感觉/认识到自己处于某个特定位置或某种情形（非主观意愿决定）

第四部分 KEY STRUCTURES AND USAGE

before的连词用法

Ex:

1)Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her.
2)It was three days before he came back.
3)The phone had rung for one minute before someone answered it.

当before用在句子的中间，连接2个分句，且before前的分句讲过了多少时间的情况下，可将before意思理解为“才”

课文中up的一些用法

1) She knew she was near the shore because the light was high up on the cliffs.
(句中的up表方位概念；high up on the cliff    adv+adv+介词短语)

2) On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled（vi.） up the cliff towards the light she had seen.
（表向上爬的动作；）
