新概念第二册33课完整优秀教案

Lesson 33

Out of the darkness

一、课文详注

1．Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her. 几乎过了一个星期，那姑娘才能讲述自己的遭遇。

（1）这句话有两个从句。before一直到结尾是句子的时间状语从句。在这个从句中，explain 又有自己的宾语从句，what为这个从句的主语。

（2） before在引导时间状语从句时，表达“在……之前”的意思，

It will be months before he can come back.

要过好几个月他才能回来。

He ran off before his mother could stop him.

他母亲还没来得及阻止他，他就跑掉了。

2．One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm. 一天下午，她乘小船从海岸出发，遇上了风暴。

（1） set out表示“出发”：

Alison will set out at eight o'clock.

艾利森船长将于8点钟启航。

set out from表示“从……出发”。

（2） be caught in表示某人“（突然）遇到/上（风暴等）”：

He was caught in a heavy rain on the way home.

他在回家途中遇到了大雨。

3．Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water. 她在海里游了整整一夜才游到岸边。

介词after的宾语是动名词spending及这个动名词的宾语、状语，这个结构在意义上等于 after she had spent the whole night in the water。

4．During that time she covered a distance of eight miles. 在那段时间里，她游了8英里。

cover可以笼统地表示“行过（一段路程）”，根据上下文可具体译为“走过”、“飞过”、“游过”等：

The bird covered the distance in three minutes.

这只鸟用3分钟飞完了全程。

表示具体的距离可以用“a distance of+ 具体长度”这个结构。

5．high up on the cliffs，在高高的峭壁上。

up为形容词，表示“在上面的”、“高高的”、“在较高处的”，high为副词，修饰up。

6．On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen.

到达岸边后，姑娘朝着她看到的灯光方向挣扎着往峭壁上爬去。

“on+ 动名词”相当于 as soon as或 when 引导的时间状语从句，强调在那一时刻发生的：

On reaching the airport, he was arrested by the police.

他一到机场就被警察逮捕了。

7．That was all she remembered. 她所记得的就是这些。

that指前面（从第2句话开始）描述的内容。she remembered为all 的定语从句，关系代词that （不能用which）被省略了。

可写做：That was all that she remembered.

8. When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.

My brother has never been abroad before, so he finds this trip very exciting.
