h, he saw that it was one o'clock, but the bell struck thirteen times

before it stopped.

before：...才

-- Nearly a week passed before she could explain what had happened to her.



Armed with a torch, the vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on.

Armed with a torch... 过去分词

Looking at his watch… 现在分词

分词做状语/定语的时候，一定要注意它和逻辑主语要呼应一致



In the torchlight, he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins

, our local grocer.

in the torchlight 在手电筒光下 / in the moonlight 在月光下

in the sunshine 在太阳光下 / in the candlelight 在烛光下

非正式用语中whom可以省略掉

recognized somebody as… 认出某人是…

regard somebody as 认为某人是 / think of somebody as 认为某人是

treat somebody as 把某人对待为 / have on somebody as 把某人尊敬为

'Whatever are you doing up here Bill?' asked the vicar in surprise.

Whatever中的ever用来加强语气



'I'm trying to repair the bell,' answered Bill. 'I've been coming up here night after night for

weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.'

night after night 一夜连着一夜

day after day 一天又一天 / year after year 一年又一年

week after week 一周又一周 / bus after bus 一辆车接着一辆车



'You certainly did give me a surprise!' said the vicar.

肯定句中常用do, did, does加强语气和情感色彩（一定要位于动词原形之前）

-- You do like nice today. 你今天看上去确实很不错。

-- I do like you.



'You've probably woken up everyone in the village as well.

as well用在句尾相当于too, 主要用于肯定句中, 但比too所表达的语意更优秀。

-- You looked nice yesterday and you look beautiful as well today.



Still, I'm glad the bell is working again.'

still用于句首, 用逗号分隔开来, 表达一个转折的关系：虽然如此, 但是



‘That's the trouble, vicar,’ answered Bill.

'It's working all right, but I'm afraid that at one o'clock it will strike thirteen times and

there's nothing I can do about it."

There is nothing I can do about it = I am at a lose what to do（at a loss adv.困惑）



‘We'll get used to that, Bill,’ said the vicar.

"Thirteen is not as good as one, but it's better than nothing. Now let's go downstairs and

have a cup of tea.'

get used to / be used to / be accustomed to / get accustomed to 都表示习惯于

get强调渐近的过程, be强调习惯了的状态



Special difficulties 难点
