They kept a close guard over the thieves. 他们对小偷们严加看管。 stand guard 站岗,放哨 【Text】
The plane was late and detectives were waiting at the airport all morning. They were expecting a valuable parcel of diamonds from South Africa. A few hours earlier, someone had told the police that thieves would try to steal the diamonds. When the plane arrived, some of the detectives were waiting inside the main building while others were waiting on the airfield. Two men took the parcel off the plane and carried it into the Customs House. While two detectives were keeping guard at the door, two others opened the parcel. To their surprise, the precious parcel was full of stones and sand!
参考译文
飞机误点了, 侦探们在机场等了整整一上午. 他们正期待从南非来的一个装着钻石的贵重包裹. 数小时以前, 有人向警方报告, 说有人企图偷走这些钻石. 当飞机到达时, 一些侦探等候在主楼内, 另一些侦探则守候在停机坪上. 有两个人把包裹拿下飞机, 进了海关. 这时两个侦探把住门口, 另外两个侦探打开了包裹. 令他们吃惊的是, 那珍贵的包裹里面装的全是石头和沙子!

all一般直接加表示时间的单数名词构成副词短语,如:all day,all night,all week,all winter,all year等。但不说all hour。
whole在表达同样的意思时一般要加冠词或数词,如a whole day/year,two whole weeks。 all morning=all the morning
The plane was late 飞机晚(点)了 The bus was late./The train was late.
detectives 没有强调一些侦探或者那些侦探, 强调侦探这种人,笼统感念, 可不加some, the
2、They were expecting a valuable parcel of diamonds from South Africa. a valuable parcel of diamonds a cup of tea 强调的是茶 South Africa 南非
