将近一周之后，这个女孩才能够说清楚她身上究竟发生了什么。
Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her.
某天下午，她乘一艘小船从海岸出发，却遭遇了一场风暴。
One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm.
傍晚时分，小船撞上了一块礁石，女孩跳入了大海。
Towards evening, the boat struck a rock and the girl jumped into the sea.
然后她在水中度过了整整一夜，游到了岸边。
Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water.
在那段时间里，她游了八英里的距离。
During that time she covered a distance of eight miles.
第二天清晨，她看到前方有一道光。
Early next morning, she saw a light ahead.
她知道自己靠近了海岸，因为那道光高高地亮在悬崖上方。
She knew she was near the shore because the light was high up on the cliffs.
一到达岸边，那个女孩就挣扎着沿悬崖往上爬，朝着她曾经看见的那道光走去。
On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen.
那就是她所记得的全部了。
That was all she remembered.
一天后她醒来时，发现自己已身在医院。
When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.
