1. I had no sooner got back to the kitchen than the doorbell rang loud enough to wake the dead.

知识点1：no sooner... than …一……就
知识点2：enough的用法总结：
1) enough修饰名词时，放在被修饰词的前面或后面；
2) enough修饰形容词或者副词时，一定要放在被修饰词的后面；
3) enough to do sth.足以用来做某事。
He is rich enough to buy the whole city.
他富有得可以买下整个城市了。
I am smart enough to pass the examination.
我很聪明，足够可以顺利通过这个考试。
知识点3：“the +形容词”表示一类人：the dead 死人；the rich 富人；the young 年轻人；the blind 瞎子
2. It took me ten minutes to persuade her to ring back later.
我花了10分钟的时间才说服她过一小会儿再打电话过来。
知识点：这是一个典型的it作形式主语的句式结构，真正的主语是to persuade her to ring back later. 原句可改为：To persuade her to ring back later took me ten minutes.很明显，由不定式构成的主语太长，显得头重脚轻。
3. At exactly that moment, the telephone rang.
恰恰在此时，电话铃响了。
知识点：exactly用于加强语气，表示“正好，恰好在……时候”。
