【Text】
§ Lesson 2 Thirteen equals one 十三等于一
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. The big clock which used to strike the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been silent ever since.
One night, however, our vicar woke up with a start: the clock was striking the hours! Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one o'clock, but the bell struck thirteen times before it stopped. Armed with a torch, the vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on. In the torchlight, he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer.
'Whatever are you doing up here Bill ?' asked the vicar in surprise.
' I'm trying to repair the bell,' answered Bill.' I've been coming up here night after night for weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.'
'You certainly did give me a surprise!' said the vicar. 'You've probably woken up everyone in the village as well. Still, I'm glad the bell is working again.'
'That's the trouble, vicar,' answered Bill. 'It's working all right, but I'm afraid that at one o'clock it will strike thirteen times and there's nothing I can do about it.'
'We'll get used to that, Bill,' said the vicar. 'Thirteen is not as good as one, but it's better than nothing. Now let's go downstairs and have a cup of tea.'

or: He said that it was so, however, he was mistake.

现在分词和过去分词的用法 looking
分词做状语/定语时，一定要注意它和逻辑主语要呼应一致

In the torchlight

非正式用语中whom可以省略掉

recognized sb as 认出某人是
regard sb as, think of sb as, treat sb as(把某人对待为), have on sb as（把某人尊敬为）

whatever: ever用来加强语气
night after night 一夜连着一夜
day after day / year after year / week after week / bus after bus

you certainly did give me…
did
肯定句中常用do, did, does 加强语气和情感色彩，一定要位于动词原形之前。
Eg: You do like beauty today.

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
still用于句首，用逗号分隔开来，表达一个转折的关系。虽然如此，但是

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
Eg: 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。
