It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home.

It was about two in the morning. 明确的是2点(无推测)

I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the doorbell, but she was fast asleep, so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window.

be fast asleep 熟睡：指人在睡眠中非常深沉，完全没有意识到周围的事物。

begin doing = begin to do 开始做某事：开始进行某项活动或任务。

I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said, 'I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.'

时间状语主句 时间状语从句 否定前移 宾语从句（I think the windows don' t need cleaning at this time of the night.）
否定前移：否定词 "don't"（不）被移到主语 "the windows"（窗户）之前，从而颠倒了句子的词序。这种结构强调了说话者的否定观点，即他们认为这个时间不需要清洁窗户。这是一个常见的应用，以强调说话者的态度或观点。

否定前移 在英文中通常会将从句里的否定前移到主句中，以达到“开门见山”的目的

  • I think you're not wrong. → I don't think you're wrong. 我认为你不是错的。
  • Last year he believed that the plan would not fail. → Last year he didn' t believe that the plan would fail. 去年他相信这个计划将不会失败。

remember/forget + to do sth. 指末来的动作 remember/forget doing sth. 指过去的动作（已发生过）

stop to do sth. 指目的 stop doing sth. 停下正在做的动作

'Excuse my interrupting you. 祈使句(面对面默认主语为“你”)

  • 'Would you mind my coming with you?' he asked, before I had finished speaking.

verbal irony 言语反语 / 字面反讽

  • I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night. 字面：我觉得夜里这个点，窗户应该不需要擦。 👉 真实意思：半夜爬墙，你这行为很可疑，我盯上你了。不是真的在讨论擦窗户。

  • The policeman is busy checking the car. 警察正忙着检查车辆。

you mind coming = you mind you coming 主语一致(无需要逻辑主语)

  • Would you mind waiting for me? 你介意等我一下吗？（waiting 由 you 发出）
  • Would you mind moving your bike? 你介意挪一下你的自行车吗？（moving 由 you 发出）

Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.

my wife who opened the window 我那个打开了窗户的妻子(妻子的范围比较明确，这里应该使用非限制的定语从句?)

注：非限定性定语从句通常使用逗号与主句隔开，但并非必须。逗号的使用与语境和句子结构有关。在正式写作中，为了提高句子的清晰度和读者理解，通常建议在非限定性定语从句之前加上逗号。
注2：在《三册》第7课会学到接续性分句 （continuative clause）大概可以解释这是限定性、非限定性的问题（这里根本就不是正常的定语从句）。
  • I called the manager and he solved the problem in minutes. ⇒ I called the manager who solved the problem in minutes.
  • He threw a stone and it broke the window. ⇒ He threw a stone which broke the window.
  • I ran into an old friend and she told me the secret. ⇒ I ran into an old friend who told me the secret.
