★ perfectly「完全的」
★ you know一语在口语中使用频繁，可置于句中、句首或句尾，以使语气委婉，或用来征求对方的同意。
★ be [come] from Missouri的意思是「不见事实决不相信」，亦即不轻信、不易受骗。"I'm from ~"是谈自己的出身地的实用句型，如I'm from Taiwan.意指「我来自台湾」或「我是台湾人」。Where are you from?「你是哪里人？」
★ idiom「成语，惯用语」
★ suspicious「怀有疑心的」cf. I suspect he did it.的意思是「我怀疑是他干的。」I doubt if he did it.则意指「我对是不是他干的怀有疑问。」注意suspect和doubt这两个字的用法差异。
★ proof除了指「证据」外，另有「防~」之意，如bulletproof(防弹)，fireproof(防火)，soundproof(隔音)，waterproof(防水)。作者: Sylvia_scj 时间: 2008-4-24 23:37
