33課 Out of the darkness

Nearly a week passed before the girl was able toexplain what had happened to her. Oneafternoon she set out from the coast in a smallboat and was caught in a storm. Towardsevening, the boat struck a rock and the girljumped into the sea. Then she swam to the shoreafter spending the whole night in the water. Duringthat time she covered a distance of eight miles. Earlynextmorning, she saw a light ahead. She knew shewas near the shore because the light was high up onthe cliffs. On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she hadseen. That was all she remembered. When she woke up a day later, she found herself inhospital.

語法歸納：以字母a開頭的同匯

一句話總結(jié)：以字母a開頭的形容詞，在句子中常作表語，作定語時(shí)則要置于名詞后，形成后置定語。

alone adj./adv.獨(dú)自的(地)(作形容詞時(shí)作表語)→ lone adj.孤單的(作定語)

asleep adj.睡著的(作表語)→ sleep n./v.睡覺

awake adj.醒著v.叫醒(作形容詢時(shí)作表語)→ wake v.叫醒，醒來

alike adj.相像的(作表語) → like v.喜歡 prep.像……一樣adj.相像的，類似的(作形容詞既可作定語，又可作表語)

arise v.產(chǎn)生，發(fā)生，出現(xiàn) → rise v.起來;上漲，上升

across prep/adv.穿過，橫過 → cross v.穿過，橫過

await v.等候 → wait v.等候(不能直接加賓語)

精講筆記:

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

幾乎過了一個(gè)星期，那姑娘才能講述自己的遭遇。

語言點(diǎn)1 此句還可改為：

It has been nearly a week before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her.

再例：Nearly five hours passed before he came.幾乎過了五個(gè)小時(shí)，他才過來。

語言點(diǎn)2 what had happened to her為explain的賓語從句。

例：Can you explain why you did not go to school? 你能解釋一下為什么沒去上學(xué)嗎?

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

一天下午，她乘小船從海岸出發(fā)，遇上了一場風(fēng)暴。

語言點(diǎn)1 one afternoon某一個(gè)下午(參考Lesson32課文分析)

語言點(diǎn)2 was caught in被卷入

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

天將黑時(shí)，小船撞上了一塊礁石，姑娘跳進(jìn)了海里。

語言點(diǎn)1 towards evening = toward evening接近晚上，天將黑時(shí) toward在美式英語中更常見，而在英式英語中towards是主要形式。

語言點(diǎn)2 strike意為“撞上，打擊”過去式為struck,過去分詞英式為struck,美式為stricken。

重要短語：on strike罷工;strike hands達(dá)成協(xié)議，成交;air strike空襲
