Day 2 --- P 11-20

Five Words:

1. You might I was pretty dumb for falling for that one, but Rodrick was dressed up in his school clothes and he set my alarm clock ahead to make it look like it was in the morning.

2. It took me a minute to figure outwhat the heckwas going on.

what the heck:idiom, (informal) used to say that you are going to do sth that you know you should not do

It means I'll be late for work but what the heck!

My sentence:

I don't even know what the heck I said!

3. And to this day, I'm sure Dad thinks I'vegot a screw looseor something.

get a screw loose: SYN- have a screw loose -- to be mentally unbalanced; to be slightly strange in your behavior出故障,出毛病

My sentence:

4.They don'tcome right outand tell you if you're in the Gifted group or the Easy group, but you can figure it out right away by looking at the covers of the books they hand out.

tight: a tight group of people, countries etc have a close relationship with each other=tight-knot

The tight bonds that had grown between them.

Two Sentences

1. Rowley istechnicallymy best friend, but thatisdefinitelysubject tochange.

technically: according to the exact details of a rule or law

be subject to: if someone or sth is subject to sth, especially sth bad, it is possible or likely that they will be affected by it.

目前读到的文本中,Greg喜欢用意思相反的词语对比出现,从而表达加深了语气,也反映了小孩子的一个心理状态。这句中他说Rowley目前是他的最好的朋友,但是一定会变得,后面就写到Rowley的不靠谱的地方,一篇日记里写了这位邻居的到来,以及因他而发生的囧事。

My sentence:

The filmJane Eyre,adapted in 2011, was technically the best one till now, but it is definitely subject to a better one in the future.

2. Well, I have a little brother named Manny, and I could neverget away withpulling any of that stuffonhim.

get away with: to do sth without experiencing any problems or difficulties, even though it is not the best  thing to do

pull on/at: to take a hold of sth and pull it several times.

get away with本来是表现了“轻而易举”这个概念,但是在句子前面加上never,反倒是说出了Greg心里的一丝绝望。

My sentence:

Well, I have studied English more than ten years, but I could never get away with reading every passage carefully.

Composition

One day I will remember all the time

As the National examination is approaching, I suddenly reminded of the day five years ago. At that time, I was preparing the most important tests with all of my classmates. But I just started my first relationship a week before June 7th.

It was in the politics class, 2 o'clock in a hot afternoon. He and I were deskmates in the first row. We exchanged thoughts on whether to start it or not while our lovely teacher was analyzing bullet points. Finally we both agreed and started it. The sunlight is really shining and warm outside.

Maybe I will eventually lose contact with him.I will keep that day and especially the light in mind.
