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 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.

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.

1、Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her.

nearly adv. 将近

nearly a week 快一个星期了

“一段时间以后”句型：

sometime later…

Three days later, my mother returned. (强调某人做某事，简单句)

Three days passed and then my mother returned.

并列句, 既强调某人做某事, 又强调时间(有多久)

…passed before…

Three days passed before my mother returned.

强调时间(这么久的时间, 时间状语从句, 后面是从句)

be able to强调有能力, 且能够成功(还强调成功);can 只表示能力

I can swim across the river. 我能游过这条河(但没有游过，不知道能不能成功)

I was able to swim across the river.

2、One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm.

set out=set off=begin a journey 出发

set out from… 从……出发

be caught in+灾难 (突然)遇到/上(风暴等)

be caught in a earthquake (earthquake n. 地震)

I was caught in a rain. 我遇上了一场雨

As soon as he left, it began to rain.

He was caught in a rain when he left. 他刚一离开, 就下雨了

遇上人用meet, 遇上灾难用be caught in…

3、Towards evening, the boat struck a rock and the girl jumped into the sea.

towards evening 天越来越晚

strike强调的往往是猛烈的撞击

4、Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water.

“to”强调朝那个方向去, 但没有强调越来越近;“towards”朝那个方向去，强调距离越来越近

5、During that time she covered a distance of eight miles.

cover可笼统地表示“行过(一段路程)”，根据上下文可具体译为“走过、飞过、游过”等。

The bird covered the distance in three minutes.

a distance of+具体长度 多长的距离，表示具体的距离

the red army covered a distance of 25000… 两万五千里长征

6、Early next morning, she saw a light ahead.

a light ahead 前方的一盏灯(ahead 放在被修饰词的后面)

7、On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen.

“on +动名词”相当于一个由as soon as=the moment或when引导的时间状语从句，as soon as=the moment后面要加句子，on 后面一定要加动词ing, 承认动词是由主句主语做的

On reaching the airport, he was arrested by the police.

“…up the cliff towards the…”用两个介词起到动词的作用，up在此处为介词，表示“沿着……往上”

8、That was all she remembered.

all作表语，是先行词, she remember 修饰 all 作定语从句, 省略 that

That was all I wanted to say. 那就是我想说的全部

That was all I can do for you.=I can do nothing else for you.

9、When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.

find +宾语+宾补 发现……(宾补可以由形容词或介词短语充当)

find the books tidy 发现书摆放得整齐

I found the books in order.

When I woke up, I found myself in bed.
