**Lesson 33 Out of the darkness 冲出黑暗**
## 参考译文
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 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.
将近一个星期过去了，这女孩才能讲述自己的遭遇。一天下午，她乘小船从海岸出发，遇上了暴风雨。傍晚时分，船撞上了一块礁石，女孩跳进了海里。然后她在海里游了一整夜才游到岸边。在那段时间里，她游了八英里的距离。第二天清晨，她看到前方有灯光。她知道她离海岸不远了，因为那灯光高高地挂在悬崖上。一到达岸边，女孩就朝着她看到的灯光方向挣扎着爬上悬崖。这就是她所能记得的一切。当她一天后醒来时，她发现自己躺在医院里。
