此句中介詞with表示一種伴隨的狀況，同時還包含著某種因果關(guān)系，表示“因某種狀況的存在而導(dǎo)致……”因此可譯作“由于；因?yàn)?rdquo;等。

由于那噪音響著，我無法工作。

本的爸爸……同時***媽在確認(rèn)手電筒和收音機(jī)都能正常使用。
1)此句中的連詞while的意思是“當(dāng)……的時候；和……同時”，while還可以表示 “然而；但（是）”之意，用來說明或強(qiáng)調(diào)兩種事情或情形的不同。例如：

2）make sure的意思是“確認(rèn)；查明；核實(shí)”，其后可接句子或接介詞of及賓語，用來引入需要確認(rèn)的內(nèi)容。例如：

I would like to go and meet him at the airport.
你確認(rèn)一下他幾點(diǎn)到達(dá)好嗎？我想去機(jī)場接他。

3) 此句中的work表示機(jī)器、器官等的“運(yùn)作；運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)”，這是動詞work的一種基本用法
