Day 1--- P 1-10

Five Words

1. The only reason I agreed to do this at all is because I figure later on when I'm rich and famous, I'll have better things to do than answer people's stupid questions all day long.

at all:

1) 在肯定句中,大体上,有“究竟”、“到底”、“总算”、“终于”甚至认为不大可能或不应该发生的事竟然发生的“竟然”、“即使”或“万一”的意思。

「例」How this pair of vases managed to survive at all is still another mystery.

My original question,why he did it at all, has not been answered.

2)与any连用时,at all 突出了“任何”这个意义。

「例」I'll do any job at all-even road-sweeping.

与only 和 any 连用时,有“总算是”的意思

「例」Of the twenty projects under construciton, only seven had been completed and were producing anything at all.

3) 在列举几件事情的最后,来一个总概括,说到底,囊括一切,也可以用at all

「例」... and above all on the subject of Ernestina's being in Lyme at all.

4)加强否定或疑问或准否定的语气

「例」They don't like him at all.

5)if从句中,at all 可以加重“即使”、“万一”的不肯定语气

「例」They'll come late, if they come at all.

如果主句有表示惊讶的意思,从句(引起惊讶的事实)也可以用它来加重“竟然”的语气。

「例」 It would surprise me, if he had seen that guy at all.

My sentence:

The last decision that I made to jump the bungee at all is because I hope to encourage my sister to fulfill her hopeless dream.

2/3. I'm stuckin middle school witha bunch ofmorons.

be stuck: 被困在,卡在。。

be stuck/caught in the middle: if you are caught or stuck in the middle of two people who are arguing, you feel as though you are expected to support both of them

「例」Many children feel caught in the middle when their parents divorce.

My sentence:

It's really awkward if your head entered into a hole firstly but was stuck in it then.

bunch:

1)countable~ of sth: a number of things of the same type which are growing or fastened together: a bunch of bananas/ grapes

2)singulara ~ (of sth): (informal, especially NAmE ) a large amount fo sth; a large number of things or people:

I have a whole bunch of stuff to do this morning

3)singular(informal)  a group of people:

The people that I work with are a great bunch.

4)bunches(plural BrE) long hair that is divided in two and tied at each side of the head:

She wore her hair in bunches.

My sentence:

He has been preparing a bunch of lilies for his wife since they got married 20 years ago.

4. Today is the first day of school, and right now we're justwaiting aroundfor the teacher to hurry up and finishthe seating chart.

wait around: if you wait around or wait about, you stay in the same place, usually doing very little, because you cannot act before something happens or before someone arrives (长时间地)干等,空等

My sentence:

Employees are waiting around the hall for the host empoyer to arrive and start the job interview.

the seating chart 座位表

5. You walk into the classroom and justplunkyour stuffdownon any old desk and the next thing you know the teacher is saying-

plunk down

1) to settle (oneself) into position: plunked himself down on the bench

2) to put down usually firmly or abruptly: plunked the items down on the counter

3) to pay out: reluctant to plunk down the money for a new car

My sentence:

After one-day hiking, I wanted nothing but to plunk my stuff down on any plat and steady stuff.

Two Sentences

1. The thing that really stinks is that I have always been into girls, but kids like Bryce have only come around in the last couple of years.

stink: to be extremely bad or unpleasant

be into: be interested in

come around: to become conscious again

赏析:这个句子分为两部分,前后意思对比,是一个简单的并列句。两者意思间的反差是通过两个动词表现,即be into 和 come around。前面一个句子涉及到了主语从句,以及考虑到主句太长而后置。

「my sentence」

The thing that trully stinks is that I have always been into durios, but people like my elder sister have always been sick of it.

2. but I think it just goes in one ear and out the other with him.

赏析:左耳进右耳出

「my sentence」

He has been warning by his parents to keep away from stranges but it just goes in one ear and out the other with him.

Composition

The paper you have always delayed to finish.

Setting a deadline for the paper may push you fininsh the assigned work at last. Then you will prove your ability with the paper. But you set the paper to finish at the last several days or even hours, you have just completed the work other than gained the knowledge. Thus you can hardly get improved in the field you are studying at. You are just coming across those knowledge but never becoming familar with them.
