"The dead of night" -> nghĩa là đêm khuya khoắt.

Ví dụ
Thirty-four people are feared dead after an inferno (cảnh rùng rợn) ripped through a dive boat off the coast of Southern California, trapping dozens of passengers (làm mắc kẹt hàng tá hành khách) below deck in the dead of night, authorities said.

Can you imagine sleeping in the dead of night beneath partly cloudy skies and nearly calm winds, knowing that, within 10 or 15 miles in all directions, you were entirely surrounded by a ring of 175-plus mph fury (sự mạnh mẽ, mãnh liệt) ? It’s simply unfathomable (không dò, không với tới được).

The details of Adie’s case are preserved in 1704 council meeting minutes, describing a building fanaticism (sự cuồng tín) among neighbors who believed a possibly drunk woman’s claims that Adie was “Coming to take me!” in the dead of night. They believed Adie was an instrument (dụng cụ, nhạc khí) of Satan, channeling the devil’s powers to “molest” (quấy rầy) neighbors she didn’t get along with.
