We've heard most of this already! 为什么经理每次开会都要拖这么久？他说的话我们大部分早就已经听过了！ eg: Why did they spin out the graduation ceremony for such a long time? 为什么他们把这个毕业典礼能拖这么久？ 所以其实今天上下文当中，这里的spin out你可以理解成out of control 指的是：“我们现在的事态有点失控了。” 或者你可以说：“我们现在别说这些有的没的，其实有点浪费时间，没重点。” 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 My wife has been spinning out the divorce proceedings for months to try and exploit any advantage she can find.

三星 【句子】I told you, Jay.

In this usage, a noun or pronoun can be used between "wash" and "out." 让某物看起来没有那么鲜艳；让某个人看起来苍白，或者更没活力； eg: This shirt might not be the right color.

It's time to buy more. 我们快没有盐了，该去再买点了。 eg: The car is running low on gas.

Come in and take a load off your feet. 啊，你终于到了！快进来歇歇脚吧！ eg: You look tired. Come in and take a load off. 你看起来很累啊，进来歇会儿吧！ 那有的时候，我们用load指精神/心理方面的负担 A mental weight or burden: 这个时候呢，可以在take a load off 后面加sb.’s mind take a load off sb.'s mind 就是指在心理上，如释重负 eg: The good news took a load off my mind. 这个好消息卸去了我心头的重担。 这个好消息让我心里轻松了不少。 其实我们之前在学Modern Family还有Friends的时候，出现过类似的表达。 比如在Friends当中，第159期节目里面 出现的台词是：Maybe it will take my mind off it. 或许这能让我不再想起这件事。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 In the meantime, watch your favorite movie and take a load off your mind, because you deserve it.

难度：三星 【句子】I’m still the outsider that doesn’t get invited to the cool parties, and you’re still the perky cheerleader who thinks that she can pull the wool over everyone’s eyes. 【Desperate Housewives S1E12】 【发音】[aɪm] [stɪl] [ði:] ['aʊt'saɪdə(r)] [ðæt] [ˈdʌz.ənt] [get] [ɪn'vaɪtɪd] [tʊ] [ðə] [ku:l] ['pɑ:rtiz] [ænd] [jɔ:(r)] [stɪl] [ðə] ['pɜ:(r)ki] [ˈtʃɪəˌli:.də(r)] [hu:] [θɪŋks] [ðæt] [ʃi:] [kæn] [pʊl] [ðə] [wʊl] ['əʊvə(r)] [ˈev.ri.wʌnz] [aɪz] 【发音技巧】the的发音；outsider不完全失去爆破；doesn’t get完全失去爆破；that she 不完全失去爆破； 【翻译】我仍旧是那种潮流派对瞧不上的局外人，而你，还是那个神采奕奕的啦啦队队长，总觉得自己能够蒙蔽大家的眼睛。 【适用场合】 今天我们要学习的短语，叫做： pull the wool over someone's eyes 蒙蔽某个人、欺骗、蒙混 to blind the true situation 隐瞒事情的真实情况 If someone pulls the wool over your eyes, they try to deceive you, sometimes in order to get an advantage over you. 所以一般这个短语都是贬义色彩。类似的词，还有hoodwink，大家可以下去了解一下。 首先，先来说一下，为什么wool 羊毛 和欺骗有什么关系？ This idiom may refer to a time in the past when judges and other important people wore wigs made of wool. If somebody pulled the wig over their eyes, they were not able to see what was happening. 大家在看电视剧的时候，港片里面可能见过，一些法官头上戴的白色的假发，像羊毛一样（也有说以前假发就有用羊毛做的）。 通常来说，都是身份非常重要的人，会戴这样的假发，如果有人把假发拉下来，挡住他们的眼睛，这样他们就看不到事情到底是什么样的了，就会看不清事实了。 eg: You can't pull the wool over my eyes. I know what's going on. 你别想蒙我，我知道咋回事。 eg: It’s no use trying to pull the wool over my eyes. You didn’t go to school again today, did you? 想蒙我？没用的，你今天又没去上学对不对？ eg: Be prepared for your kids to try to pull the wool over your eyes when they're teenagers. 当你的孩子们进入青春期以后，如果他们撒谎，骗人，你可别意外。 eg: I just thought he was trying to pull the wool over my eyes to get a better price. 我刚刚在想，他是想混淆视听，以获取更好的价格。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 He tried pulling the wool over our eyes by hiding the profits in separate accounts, but we were quick to catch onto his scheme.

No one was bothered at all. 你不用在意的。完全没有人受到影响。/你丝毫没有给别人添麻烦的。 在日常生活中，类似的场合下，大家也可以说： Think nothing of it. Don’t give it a second thought. 意思都是一样的。 eg: -- I hope I didn't hurt your feelings when I said you were too loud. -- Don't give it a second thought. I was too loud. -- 我刚说你声音太大了，希望没有让你难受。 -- 没事的，我刚才确实声音太大了。 稍微注意下，当中的Think nothing of it. 也可以用于别人感谢你的时候。 eg: -- Thank you so much for driving me home. -- Think nothing of it. -- 谢谢你载我回家。 -- 不客气。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 -- I don't like to feel I let you down, Jane. -- You didn't let me down.

Now all you have to do is take a deep breath and squeeze the trigger. 现在你只需要深呼吸，然后扣下扳机。 有关这个句型，很早以前节目就讲解过了， 大家不妨留言解释一下，为什么这里be动词is后面可以直接跟take这样的动词原形呢？ 期待你们的讨论回复。 2. 今天关键句当中出现的perfume，大家应该多少都认识 香水，长得和法语词parfum 很像。 一般来说喷的……香水，都会用动词wear 穿着 这个单词来搭配。 You wear clothes, including gloves, scarves, belts, watches and glasses, and also perfume on your skin eg: What perfume are you wearing today? 你今天喷的什么香水？ 如果强调喷 这个动作，其实也可以用spray这个动词。 eg: She sprayed some perfume. 她喷了一些香水。 What is your favorite perfume? 你最喜欢哪款香水？ 其实就我个人而言，用过的香水也不太多，目前比较喜欢的是兰蔻的Miracle。 欢迎大家推荐一些好闻的香水，男士女士皆可。 3. I was just caught off-guard. 我只是有点措手不及。 前两天的节目当中，我们刚刚讲过“措手不及”可以怎么说，第492期节目， 出现的短语是：sneak up on sb. >>点我复习<< 其实sb. is caught off-guard 也是一样的意思，措手不及，让某个人没来得及准备 If someone is caught off-guard, they are not expecting a surprise or danger that suddenly occurs. eg: I'll be honest, the question caught me off guard. I should have been more prepared for the interview. 我说实话吧，这个问题完全让我措手不及，我应该面试准备得更充分的。 eg: a quiz that caught the class off-guard 一个让全班同学都措手不及的小测试 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 There was strong smell of cheap perfume in the car.

Well, dig in. I am way too tired to eat. 你吃吧，我太累了，不想吃了。 有关dig 我们前两天刚讲了dig up 今天这个dig in什么意思呢？ dig in 其实意思比较多，今天我们只重点说关键句中的这个意思： （口语）开始吃饭 If someone digs in, or digs into some food, they start eating eagerly. If you tell someone to dig in, you are inviting them to start eating, and encouraging them to eat as much as they want. eg: The food's going cold - dig in! 饭要冷了！快吃！ eg: Pull up a chair and dig in! 拉张椅子，快吃饭吧！ eg: WOW, it smells so good!

And I spend my days getting groped by fat tractor salesman at trade shows. 联邦调查局的人拖走了我的玛莎拉蒂，我的丈夫是个罪犯，我还得在展销会上被卖拖拉机的胖子吃豆腐。 grope本身就就有触摸；抚摸的意思； 所以综合这个场景，明显就有吃豆腐的意思了 eg: He groped me as I was going to the bar. 我起身去吧台的时候，他摸了我一把。 其实grope这个词也有“在黑暗中摸索”的意思 eg: I groped for the light switch. 我抹黑去找灯的开关。 3.
