新概念英语第二册 Lesson 33 Out of the darkness 讲义

lesson 33 Out of the darkness 🌻Part 1: Text 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. 🌻Part 2: New words and expressions 1 darkness['dɑ:knis] n.黑暗 2 explain [ik'splein] v.解释，叙述 3 coast [kəust] n.海岸 4 storm [stɔ:m] n.暴风雨 5 towards[tə'wɔ:dz] prep.接近 6 rock[rɔk] n.岩石，礁石 7 shore [ʃɔ:] n.海岸 8 light[lait] n.灯光 9 ahead [ə'hed] ad.在前面 10 cliff[klif] n.峭壁 11 struggle['strʌgl] v.挣扎 12 hospital['hɔspitl] n.医院 ★darkness  n. 黑暗 dark  adj. 黑暗的, n.黑暗，黄昏，黑夜 in the dark 在黑暗中 e.g.  They ran through the forest in the dark. 他们在黑暗中跑过森林。 翻译:在云南旅游时，我在黑暗中迷了路。  I lost my way in the dark when I travelled in Yunnan Province. ★explain [ik'splein] v.解释，叙述 explain sth. to sb.  向某人解释某事 explaination  n. 因为Tom迟到了，所以他不得不向老师解释原因。 Because Tom  was late, he had to explain the reason to his teacher. ★coast [kəust] n.海岸  shore  n.海岸 On shore/On the coast  在岸上 Off shore/Off the coast 在近海处  ★storm  n. 暴风雨 sand storm  沙尘暴 ★towards  prep. 向，朝；对于；接近 下了公共汽车，他向着他的公司走去。 After getting off the bus, he walked towards his company. ★light[lait] n.灯光 n. 灯光；灯 v. 点燃;照亮 adj.轻的 In the dark I saw him light a light, and the light lit the room.
