}  For years, villagers believed that Endley Farm was hunted. The farm was owned by two brothers, Joe and Bob Cox. They employed a few farmhands, but no one was willing to work there long. Every time a worker gave up his job, he told the same story.

}  Every time I thought about what you said, I cried.
每一次想到你说的话我就会哭。every time 后面跟句子。
you can‘t caII him every time any IittIe thing comes up.
你不能每一次因为那么小的事情都打电话给他。
You can just caII every time you get IoneIy.

   每一次你觉得孤单都可以打电话。

}  Farm labourers said that they always woke up to find that work had been done overnight. Hay had been cut and cowsheds had been cleaned. A farm worker, who stayed up all night, claimed to have seen a figure cutting corn in the moonlight.

}  stayed up:

   熬夜
I’m going to be up all night studying for my exam.
I stayed up all night studying for the test.

   stay up 和be up可以互换；一个是系动词，一个是be 动词，这两个在这的意思一样，只是词性不一样

}  In time, it became an accepted fact the Cox brothers employed a conscientious ghost that did most of their work for them. No one suspected that there might be someone else on the farm who had never been seen. This was indeed the case. A short time ago, villagers were astonished to learn that the ghost of Endley had died.

}  That’s the case

   意思等同于——
that’s true/right/correct.

}  case sensitive login
Username and password.
case sensitive 意思是辨认大小写，对大小写敏感。尤其是在登录的时候，用户名密码本来是大写，你写成小写就无法登录。这就是case sensitive

}  Everyone went to the funeral, for the ‘ghost’ was none other than Eric Cox, a third brother who was supposed to have died as a young man. After the funeral, Joe and Bob revealed a secret which they had kept for over fifty years. Eric had been the eldest son of the family, very much older than his two brothers. He had been obliged to join the army during the Second World War. As he hated army life, he decided to desert his regiment. When he learnt that he would be sent abroad, he returned to the farm and his father hid him until the end of the war.

}  Reveal/unveil

   reveal 揭示；如果说一个秘密以前是被掩盖着，现在被揭示了，就是revealed。unveil 是揭开面纱的感觉，比如，索尼推出一个产品，提前做宣传，让人看到宣传的这一过程就是unveil。
Sony to unveil 4 new blu-ray DVD-Burners
 索尼让大家看到4个新款的 blu-ray DVD-Burners。

}  Fearing the authorities, Eric remained in hiding after the war as well. His father told everybody that Eric had been killed in action. The only other people who knew the secret were Joe and Bob. They did not even tell their wives. When their father died, they thought it their duty to keep Eric in hiding. All these years, Eric had lived as a recluse. He used to sleep during the day and work at night, quite unaware of the fact that he had become the ghost of Endley. When he died, however, his brothers found it impossible to keep the secret any longer.

}  We are aware of the probIem you‘re referring to.
你提到的问题我们知道。aware of 知道

}  Suddenly, I’m very aware that I’m naked.

   忽然间我意识到，我什么都没有穿。
