Translation
That year, kate's life is awful. She was stuck in a meaningless job with no friends around her. To top it off, word came that the ship on which John had been working met a storm and foundered. For a while, she cheered up when she heard that there were some survivors on the beach. But soon it was proved that John had died. At this news, she was appalled, and would not get over the fact that such a thing would come John's way. In spite of everything, she still tried to take an a ctive attitude toward life even though she had to face these adversities. it's no wonder that she achieved success in her later life.
