wokeupwithastart:…withastart,由于受到驚動，驚醒了。冒號后面是一個解釋性的分句，是對start所作的具體說明。2

recognizeas,認(rèn)出是。3

Whateverareyoudoinguphere?

你究竟在這上面干什么？whatever用于疑問句中，用以加強(qiáng)what的語氣，作“究竟什么”解，口語中很常用。4

Youcertainlydidgivemeasurprise!你確實使我感到意外！在英語中助動詞do可以用來表示強(qiáng)調(diào)。此時助動詞do放在謂語動詞之前。5

Thirteenisnotasgoodasone,butitisbetterthannothing.敲13下雖然不如敲1下好，但總比1下不敲強(qiáng)多了。參考譯文我們教區(qū)的牧師總是為各種各樣的事籌集資金，但始終未能籌足資金把教堂的鐘修好。教堂的鐘很大，以前不分晝夜打點(diǎn)報時，但在很多年前遭到毀壞，從此便無聲無息了。一天夜里，我們的牧師突然被驚醒了，大鐘又在“打點(diǎn)”報時了！他一看表，才1點(diǎn)鐘，可是那鐘一連敲了13下才停。牧師拿著一支電筒走上鐘樓想去看看究竟發(fā)生了什么事情。借著電筒光，他看見一個人，馬上認(rèn)出那是本地雜貨店店主比爾·威爾金斯?！澳憔烤乖谶@上面干什么，比爾？”牧師驚訝地問?！拔蚁氚堰@口鐘修好，”比爾回答說?！昂脦讉€星期了，我天天夜里到鐘樓上來。嗯，我是想讓你大吃一驚?！薄澳愦_實使我大吃了一驚！”牧師說，“也許同時你把村里所有的人都吵醒了。不過，鐘又能報時了，我還是很高興的?！盜didn'tfeelwellsoIspentthedayinbed.Wehavereceivedfiftyapplicationsinall.Thethievesweredisturbedandleftinahurry.Ican'tborrowanymoremoney;I'malreadyindebt.Mary'sinlovewithasailor.Therewasn'tapersoninsight.Hedidn'trealizethathewasindanger.Thelittleboywasintears.Exercise練習(xí)Useaphrasewithininplaceofthewordsinitalics.1
