chapter17-18

1,I mean, there is a certain irony involved when guys who spend the first years of their sex lives preoccupied with not getting girls pregnant (and when I first started, condoms were still in) then reverse their thinking and become obsessed with conception and not its contra.

熟詞新意

conception ?可變名詞 受孕;懷孕 Conception is the process in which the egg in a woman is fertilized and she becomes pregnant.

仿寫:Six weeks after conception your baby is the size of your little fingernail. 懷孕6個星期后,胎兒的大小相當于小拇指的指甲。


2,The nurse-screwing-up alibi is pretty trite.

alibi 可數名詞 借口;托詞 You can say that someone has an alibi when they can prove that something was not their fault.

仿寫:He had a perfect alibi and the police let him go. 他有不在犯罪現場的確鑿證明,警方便放了他。


3,'She bought it?'

熟詞新意

buy 動詞 相信;接受 If you buy an idea or a theory, you believe and accept it.

仿寫:I'm not buying any of that nonsense.我才不信那些廢話。


4,'Jennifer!' I bellowed, now honestly hurt. 'I will not have that kind of talk at my breakfast table!'

bellow 動詞(人)吼叫,咆哮 If someone bellows, they shout angrily in a loud, deep voice.

仿寫:'I didn't ask for it myse!' she bellowed.


5,'Then get your ass home to my dinner table. Okay?

get your ass

有時sb's ass = sb

老美常常喜歡用ass指代人,有情緒在里面的,一般是憤怒。有部電影我忘了是什么了,里面就有一個場景,汽車追尾,前面那個人就怒沖下來對后面那人大喊一聲: Get your ass outta your car.

goosip girl season3 就有一段,貌似是Serina起身要走,Blair怒吼一聲: Sit your ass down.=sit down

我有一次在酒吧,一個美國人遲遲不來,我就怒發了一條短信給他: Get your ass over here. 意思就是讓他趕緊殺過來

kick your ass不是真的要踢你PP,而是揍你

有的時候sb's ass就是ass,比如 he is always kissing his boss's ass. 他總是拍他老板的馬屁
