PART 1- 3句
1, It taught me that it is easier( to an insider as an outsider )than (to be an outsider as an insider).
刚开始看这句话的时候感觉有点绕，理解起来有点不到位。结合下面这句话比较好理解
I was mixed but not colored- colored by complexion but not by culture.
2, Big brother is going to get my revenge for me.

3, But Abel didn't need a gun to put the fear of God in you.
PART 2- 3词
1, anomaly animosity (n.)
I was the anomaly wherever we lived.
The animosity(// I felt from the colored people// I encountered// growing up )was one of the hardest things// I've ever had to deal with.
anomaly something that is noticeable because it is different from what is usual
animosity strong dislike or hatred =(hostility)
仿写：I've got a certain amount of animosity because I was the anomaly wherever I lived.
2, bully
I was bullied all the time.
bully 恃强凌弱 （n.&v.）
adj.
口语表达：
bully for you /him
used when you do not think that someone has done anything special but they want you to praise them
例句： Yes，I know you've done all the dishes.Bully for you!
3, thick
By that point I'd developed thick skin.
翻译成厚脸皮 感觉有点贬义的意思，作者的对这些已经习以为常，并不会太在意这些了。这里用的动词是 develope
反义词 thin
thick 本身词义较多，但总体不管是表示厚也好，枝繁叶茂也好，总之就是一个感觉 “充足，多”
当然与其他形容词区分用法时就要仔细考究了
积累两个形容词
thick-skinned (not easily offended by other people's criticism or insults) 大概就是 厚脸皮吧 哈哈
thin-skinned
PART 3- Thoughts
前面作者写道自己是一个变色龙，通过语言的转换尽力是自己融入到一个集体中。但当作者这句话出现的时候 无奈尽显 It taught me that it is easier to an insider as an outsider than to be an outsider as an insider. 中文短路，不知道怎么把这句话的味道翻译出来。当你置身与一个环境，没有人和你相同，自己又不想随着那个环境变成自己不想变成的人，那么很好恭喜你 成为异类。有时候虽然成为异类不见得是一件坏事，但是其中遭受的 peer pressure , 怎么说呢，作者的这种压力算是无法选择的，不是我们大家都有滑板鞋我没有就是异类的那种，默默承受压力 让作者developed thick skin ,但是孩子还是孩子，所有最后作者没听妈妈的话，告诉了Abel 最后两人去教训了那个小孩，Abel下手没轻重 过程不是 go to teach him a lesson 变成了作者自己也满腹罪恶感，孩子之间的“战争” 大人的插手 ，让作者觉得自己和那些人也无异。
今日最佳：
He thought he was coming to defend the honor of his family. He felt happy to escape with his life.
虽然逃了，但也来了/ 虽然来了,但是逃了
突然想到小时候，妈妈跟我讲的跟小朋友闹矛盾不要回家讲，自己解决，大人没办法管。（啊哈，所以小时候我也是一方霸主 哈哈）
