lesson 33 Out of the darkness 沖出黑暗

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.

One afternoon, I set out in a small boat from a coast and was caught in a storm. I struggled to row back to the coast. But very unfortunely, the boat struck a rock towards evening and I had to jump into sea. I swam towards the shore although the rain was heavy but I could see some building. After spending the whole night in the water, I saw a light ahead and I knew I was near the shore for the light was high up on the 'cliff'[=> cliffs]. On arriving the shore, I struggled up the cliff towards the light. What I had done had 'beyond'[=> had been beyond] my body could bear then I lapsed into unconsciousness. I found out I was in hospital when I woke up a day later.

Knowledges

• beyond 是介詞
• lapse into unconsciousness 陷入昏迷

Nearly a week passed before I learned what was happened to the girl I found outside the lighthouse last week. She set out from a coast in a small boat but ''[=> was] caught in a storm. She had to jump into sea and stayed in the cold water after the boat struck a rock and was broken. At that time, she was eight miles away from my lighthouse. But she succeeded to swim here and climbed up this cliff. I sent her to the nearest hospital by speedboat as soon as I discovered she lay prone outside out of consciousness.
