　　6, In the torchlight, he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer.
　　In the torchlight 在电筒光下
　　非正式用语中whom可以省略掉
　　recognize sb as 认出某人是
　　搭配相近的词组有：
　　regard sb as 把某人认作
　　think of sb as 把某人看作
　　treat sb as(把某人对待为)
　　have on sb as（把某人尊敬为）
　　7, Whatever are you doing up here Bill ？
　　whatever用于疑问句中，加强what的语气，作"究竟什么"解释。
　　8, I've been coming up here night after night for weeks now.
　　night after night 一夜连着一夜，这里也可用every night代替，表示没有一夜例外。
　　after在这里表示：一个接着一个
　　这种 A after A 的词组还有：
　　day after day / year after year / week after week / bus after bus
　　9, You certainly did give me a surprise!
　　肯定句中常用助动词do, did, does加强语气和情感色彩，一定要位于动词原形之前。
　　文中在did之前，还用了副词certainly，意思是"的确"，进一步加强了语气。
　　e.g. You do look beautiful today. 你今天看起来真漂亮。
　　10, You've probably woken up everyone in the village as well.
　　as well用在句尾相当于too, 主要用在肯定句中，但比too所表达的语意更优秀。
　　11, 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。意思是尽管如此，依旧，仍然
　　这里still = Just the same，本句也可这样表达：All the same, I am glad the bell is working again.
　　12, We'll get used to that, Bill.
　　get used to , be used to do, be accustomed to, get accustomed to 都表示习惯于
　　get强调渐进的过程，be强调习惯了的状态
　　e.g. We are used to the cold weather here.
　　You will get used to the cold weather here.你很快会适应这寒冷的天气的。
　　这里的to都是介词，后面接名词或动名词
　　e.g. You will get used to jogging day after day. It is really a good habit.
　　你会习惯每天跑步的。这真是一个好习惯。
　　tip: 在表示过去常常做某事的 use to 句型中，后面接动词的原型，请大家注意区别。
