Lesson 33 Out of the darkness
Lesson 33 Out of the darkness
中文
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。

Then she swam [swæm] 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.
