摘要：In the torchlight, he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer.

你一边感慨，一边对朋友说：

Our vicar is always raising money for one cause or another, but he has never managed to get enough money to have the church clock repaired.

关键词联想：年久失修的钟楼、捐款箱、老神父的无奈笑容

你眯着眼、半睡半醒地嘟囔：

The bell struck thirteen times before it stopped.

你猛地停住步伐，内心OS：

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

可以在脑海中复现这样的一个小剧场： 你晚上被不对劲的钟声吵醒，数了数：“天哪，the bell struck thirteen times”，你翻出手电冲上去看，结果——“he caught sight of a figure… it was Bill Wilkins!”
