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.

幾乎過了一個星期，那姑娘才能講述自己的遭遇。一天下午，她乘小船從海岸出發(fā)，遇上了風(fēng)暴。天將黑時，小船撞在了一塊礁石上，姑娘跳進了海里。她在海里游了整整一夜才游到岸邊。在那段時間里，她游了8英里。第二天凌晨，她看到前方有燈光，知道自己已經(jīng)接近岸邊了，因為那燈光是在高高的峭壁上。到達岸邊后，姑娘朝著她看到的燈光方向掙扎著往峭壁上爬去。她所記得的就是這些。第二天她醒來時，發(fā)現(xiàn)自己躺在醫(yī)院里。

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)
aloud adv.大聲地(與read, call, cry等詞連用，無比較級和高級形式)→ loud adv.大聲地，響亮地(常與talk, speak, shout, laugh等連用，比較級為louder,高級為loudest)
