A)
/a un tratto/ : Eng.: without expecting it, suddenly
/scorsi/ : passato remoto di scorgere: vedere
Puoi quindi usare queste altre forme, per capire il significato :
a) quando non ci pensavo {ho visto, vidi} la mia automobile
b) all'improvviso ho visto la mia automobile
La forma che hai scritto tu e` pero` migliore!
/A un tratto/ e /d'un tratto/ sono equivalenti.
B) /went past/ is related to the verb /correre/ or /scorrere/, the verb here is /scorgere/ .
