Q:
What was true was that Scrooge was just as mean as Marley, and Marley had been just as mean as Scrooge.是什麼意思
A:
Each half of the sentence essentially means the same thing as the other half. It's a way to emphasize the equality. Similarly, you could say, "Romeo's love was as strong as Juliet's, and Juliet's love was as strong as Romeo's."
Q:
Scrooge's name was good upon 'Change for anything he chose to put his hand to.

是什麼意思
A:
It means that Scrooge had a good reputation as a businessman, so anything he signed with his name had to be true.
Change is a shortened form of “exchange.” The London Exchange was a trading center at the time, where Scrooge would have been well known and respected.
“Put his hand to” means giving his signature to. Scrooge signed Marley’s death certificate, so it is certain that Marley is really dead.

Q:
Scrooge then remembered to have heard that ghosts in haunted houses were described as dragging chains. 聼起來自然嗎?
A:
In US English today, people would more likely say:
Scrooge then remembered <-to have->>+having+> heard that ghosts in haunted houses were described as dragging chains.
BUT odds even today between the two in the U.K. could be reversed (or at least closer than 2-to-1). And before 1900, the form you quoted was definitely the MORE common, the more natural, in both places. You can check out the relative frequencies over the years using Google’s Ngram Viewer. Both forms are grammatical and acceptable, My rating on naturalness just represents my US experience of the past 60 years.

Q:
WHEN Scrooge awoke, it was so dark, that looking out of bed, he could scarcely distinguish the transparent window from the opaque walls of his chamber. He was endeavouring to pierce the darkness with his ferret eyes, when the chimes of a neighbouring church struck the four quarters. So he listened for the hour.
To his great astonishment the heavy bell went on from six to seven, and from seven to eight, and regularly up to twelve; then stopped. Twelve! It was past two when he went to bed. The clock was wrong. An icicle must have got into the works. Twelve! 聼起來自然嗎?
