#字词篇

1. When I got home, I ran upstairs and stuffed the money under my mattress. I tossed and turned all night trying to figure out what to do with my new Mom Bucks.

Stuff the money under my mattress, stuff在这里的用法我们之前也见过,表示“塞入,填充…”

Toss and turn: to keep changing your position in bed because you cannot sleep

What to do with=how to deal with

造句:Knowing I had made a big mistake, I just tossed and turned all night.

2. The trick will be not cash in too much at one time, or Mom will know something’s up.

Something is up: if something is up, someone is feeling unhappy because they have problems, or there is something wrong in a situation这里就可以说成“某事不对劲儿”

造句:My mom was 100% sure something was up when I hesitated for several seconds.

3. So even though I didn’t want to, I decided to take Rodrick up on his offer.

Take up an offer/take somebody up on their offer: accept someone’s offer

同样地,如果我们说take down/refuse/reject/decline an offer,意思就是say no to it

造句:My sister said she would give me a ride to school, and I just took her up on her offer.

#句子篇

I’ll admit, it was pretty tempting. Because number one, since all of Rodrick’s assignments have gone through Dad, I knew Rodrick got a good grade on his paper. And number two, it was in one of those clear plastic binders that teachers go crazy for.

1. 表示“列举”的话,除了first/firstly之外,还可以直接用number one, number two…甚至还可以直接在口语中使用one, two…

2. Go through: to read or discuss something in order to make sure it is correct

3. Get a good grade on…表示“在某科成绩优异”可以有很多种表达,比如ace, 我们可以说He aced the math exam.

4. Go crazy for something: 为…着迷/疯狂,偏爱…

造句:I aced my math exam, and I went crazy when I got the news. I told it to dad immediately because for the past two months, he has been going through my math papers every time I finished them.

#作文

Today I just learnt how hard babysitting really can be. Right after having lunch, two little mischievous boys, who are sons of my mother’s sister, came to play with my younger brother and me. At the beginning, things just went on the right track when all of us were engaged in card games. Seeing how harmonious the situation was, I just let the guard down, and went to the kitchen serving some grapes. However, right when I got out I even couldn’t believe my eyes. The table was fully sketched with permanent marker, and cards were left here and there. Plus, the following story was even worse. Seeing the fresh grapes in my plate, they just swarmed around me, and it turned out that it was impossible to recognize the original color of my shoes. In terms of the grapes, they just wolfed down them in several bites, and their clothes were totally in a mess due to the grape juice…
