Language points

1.With no light outside, it felt like midnight.

外面没有光亮，感觉就像半夜一样。

此句中介词with表示一种伴随的状况，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……”因此可译作“由于；因为”等。

With my parents away, I’m the king of the house.

我爸妈不在，我可是家中的“王”。

I can’t work with all that noise going on.

由于那噪音响着，我无法工作。 

2. Ben’s dad … while his mom was making sure the flashlights and radio were working.

本的爸爸……同时***妈在确认手电筒和收音机都能正常使用。

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 “然而；但（是）”之意，用来说明或强调两种事情或情形的不同。例如：

Tom is active and outgoing while his sister Rosa is shy and quiet.  

汤姆活跃外向，而他的妹妹罗莎却羞怯腼腆。

I like this, while she likes that.

我喜欢这个，而她喜欢那个。

You like sports while I like reading.

你喜欢运动而我喜欢阅读。

2）make sure的意思是“确认；查明；核实”，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。例如：

Could you make sure what time he’s arriving? 

I would like to go and meet him at the airport.

你确认一下他几点到达好吗？我想去机场接他。

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、器官等的“运作；运转”，这是动词work的一种基本用法

我的手表是防水的 — 这就是说即便在水里它也会正常运转。

这会儿我的脑子不好使。
