With no light outside, it felt like midnight. 此句中介词with表示一种伴随状况，同时还包含着某种因果关系，表示“因某种状况的存在而导致”, 因此可翻译成“由于；因为”等。e.g. With my parents away, Im the king of the house. 我爸妈不在家，我可是家中的“王”了！ I cant work with all that noise going on. 由于那噪音响着，我无法工作。2. Bens dad while his mom was making sure the flashlights and radio were working. 1) 此句中的连词while的意思是 “当的时候；和同时”，while还可以表示“而；然而；但”之意，用来说明和强调两种事情或情形不同。e.g. Tom is active and outgoing while his sister Rosa is shy and quiet. 汤姆活跃外向，而他的妹妹罗莎却害羞腼腆。2) make sure“确认，查明，核实；确保；设法保证”，其后可接句子，或接介词of及宾语，用来引入需要确认的内容。e.g. Could you make sure what time hes arriving? 你能确认一下他几点到达吗？Make sure you turn off the TV before you leave the house. 在你离开屋子前确认关闭了电视。3) 此句中的work表示机器，器官等 “运作，运转”，这是动词work的一种基本用法。e.g. My watch is waterproof that means it would work fine even if its in water. 我的手表是防水的 这就是说即便在水里它也会正常运转。3.
