LESSON 33

Out of the darkness

0:00 / 0:00

原文

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 as a cliff towards the light she had seen.

That was all she remembered. When she woke up a day later she found herself in hospital.

译文

将近一周过去了,女孩才能够解释发生在她身上的事情。一天下午,她乘一艘小船从海岸出发,遭遇了暴风雨。傍晚时分,小船触礁,女孩跳入海中。然后她在水里泡了一夜,游到了岸边。

在那段时间里,她走了八英里的距离。第二天一早,她看到前面有光。她知道自己已经靠近海岸了,因为悬崖上的灯光高高地照在她身上。到达岸边后,女孩像悬崖一样挣扎着爬上她所看到的光。

她只记得这些。一天后,当她醒来时,她发现自己躺在医院里。
