此句中介词with表示一种伴随的状况,同时还包含着某种因果关系,表示“因某种状况的存在而导致……”,因此可译作“由于;因为”等。
e.g. With my parents away, I’m the king of the house.
我爸妈不在,我可是家中的“王”
I can't work with all that noise going on.
由于那噪音响着,我无法工作。

1)此句中的连词while的意思是“当……的时候;和……同时”,while还可以表示 “然而;但(是)”之意,用来说明或强调两种事情或情形的不同。例如:
Tom is active and outgoing while his sister Rosa is shy and quiet.
汤姆活跃外向, 而他的妹妹罗莎却羞怯腼腆。
2)make sure的意思是“确认;查明;核实,其后可接句子或接介词of及宾语,用来引入需要确认的内容。例如:
Could you make sure what time he’s arriving? I would like to go and meet him at the airport.
你能确认一下他几点到达吗?我想去机场接他。
Make sure you turn off the TV before you leave the house.
在你离开屋子前请确保关闭了电视。
3)此句中的work表示机器、器官等的“运作;运转”,这是动词work的一种基本用法。
e.g. My watch is waterproof— that means it would work well even if it’s in water.
我的手表是防水的——这就是说即便在水里它也会正常运转。
My brain isn't working well now.这会儿我的脑子不好使。
