第33课 Out of the darkness 冲出黑暗 - 深度语法精讲
课文原文
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 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。

三、核心语法点详解
3.1 before引导的时间状语从句
基本结构:
主句(过去时) + before + 从句(过去时)
用法说明:
-
时间先后:主句动作发生在从句之前
- Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain…
- (一周过去后才……)
-
特殊含义:before有时隐含”……才”的意思
- It was three days before he came back.(三天后他才回来)
时态搭配:
| 主句 | before从句 | 含义 |
|---|---|---|
| 过去时 | 过去时 | 过去两个动作的先后 |
| 过去完成时 | 过去时 | 强调主句动作更早 |
| 将来时 | 一般现在时 | 主将从现 |
3.2 过去完成时 (Past Perfect)
基本结构:had + 过去分词
课文中的用法:
-
过去的过去(what had happened)
时间线:过去动作(被困) → 更早动作(发生) → 现在- Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her.
- (在她能够讲述之前,事情已经发生了)
-
过去的过去(she had seen)
- towards the light she had seen(之前看到的灯光)
时间关系图解:
←──── had happened ────→
●────────────────────────→
↑ ↑
过去某个点 讲述时(now)
●──────── passed ────────→
(一周过去)
●───── was able to explain
(能够讲述)
3.3 被动语态 (Passive Voice)
课文中的被动语态:
| 句子 | 结构 | 含义 |
|---|---|---|
| was caught in a storm | was + caught | 被困在暴风雨中 |
| was able to explain | was + able(系表) | 能够解释 |
| was near the shore | was + near(系表) | 在海岸附近 |
| was high up | was + high up(系表) | 高高地在上面 |
重点:be caught in
主动:A storm caught her.(暴风雨困住了她)
被动:She was caught in a storm.(她被困在暴风雨中)
常用搭配:
- be caught in the rain 淋雨
- be caught in traffic 遇上堵车
- be caught in a dilemma 陷入两难
3.4 定语从句 (Relative Clause)
课文中的定语从句:
-
what引导的名词性从句(含定语从句功能)
- explain what had happened to her
- what = the thing that(先行词+关系代词)
-
省略关系词的定语从句
- the light she had seen = the light (that/which) she had seen
- all she remembered = all (that) she remembered
关系词省略规则:
可省略:关系词在定语从句中作宾语时
不可省略:关系词在定语从句中作主语时
例:
- The light she saw.(she saw the light,宾语,可省)
- The light that was on the cliff.(作主语,不可省)
