29、on items就是随身携带物品。和carry-on items相对的是checked baggage。现在机场保安严密，很多东西都不能随身带。所以到了机场你最好问一问服务人员：How many carry-on items may I take on the airplane?我能带几件随身物品上飞机？或者你要问：Is this new LV bag I just bought in Paris a carry-on item or do I have to check it?我刚从巴黎采购的这个LV手提包可以带着上飞机，还是需要托运？好，我们今天学习carry-on items。祝您下次旅
30、行愉快！Break Neck这个词一般是用来形容飞快的速度。华盛顿邮报在形容中国即将完成三狭工程的文章中说：After 13 years of breakneck construction.意思是：经过13年飞速的建设，这个项目即将完工。Breakneck这个词经常用来形容速度。例如：He likes to drive with breakneck speed。可是，飞快地开车就容易出事故。所以，开车时千万不要超速-Dont drive with breakneck speed!不过，要是你以飞快的速度完成工作，那你老板肯定会高兴。今天的每天一词是breakneck,意思是飞快的速度。,und
31、erdog 你以为underdog是指狗，是吗？No！Underdog是指处于弱势的人。美国影视界颁发埃美奖，处境不佳的全国广播公司居然荣获五项艾美奖，居第二位。报导说：Underdogs had their day at the.58th Emmy Awards,居后者在第58届艾美奖颁发典礼上也有了出头之日。不少人总是同情时运不好，处于劣势的人。Some people tend to sympathize with the underdog。在世界足球队中，美国队总是处于劣势，the American team has always been the underdog in the soc
32、cer world。希望他们发奋图强，so that they wont stay underdog forever。今天学的一个词是underdog.extra pounds Extra pounds说白了就是你身上多了几磅肉，别以为是多买几磅肉。最近的调查显示，不用说肥胖，就是体重超重几磅也会缩短一个人的寿命几年-Just a few extra pounds could mean fewer years.许多美国人都为自己体重超重而担忧-Americans are constantly worrying about extra pounds.他们想尽办法来减肥-They try all
33、means to shed their extra pounds。很多人通过跑步，锻炼来减肥-try to get rid of their extra pounds by running and exercising.可是饱餐一顿往往会全功尽弃，甚至再加上一，两磅-a big meal might add a couple of extra pounds!今天学的一个词组是extra pounds.,double standard Double standard是指双重标准。美国连锁商店沃尔马允许在中国的分店组织工会，却不允许在美国的商店组织工会。媒体报导的标题说：Critics claim
34、 double standard-批评人士指责该公司采用双重标准。双重标准并不少见。一个女孩因她父母要她每天整理房间，不要求她哥哥这么做而抱怨说：My parents has a double standard.-我父母采用双重标准。一个公司老板对雇员说，不管是男雇员，还是女雇员，I dont have a double standard in promotions.-我在提升雇员时没有双重标准。今天学的词组是：double standard.pop up Pop听起来就像开枪或放鞭炮那样劈啪劈啪响。古巴总统卡斯特罗的弟弟Raul在接任权力后一直没有露面。媒体报导说:.the question
35、 keeps popping up:Where is Raul?也就是：人们不断在问：Raul 在哪里？Popping up可以用在不同场合。一个合唱团在排练过程中出现了一系列问题-Problems kept popping up during rehearsal。Pop up还有突然出现的意思。你全神贯注地在做功课，突然你弟弟闯进屋来大叫一声，你肯定会说：When you popped up like that,you scared me to death!你这么突然闯进来，快把我吓死了！今天学的词组是：pop up.,Words and their stories,词汇掌故：嘴巴相关词汇P

41、一段非常可怕的经历，例如被一只疯狗追赶，他可能会说，“我的心都快跳到嗓子眼了。”Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family.There is an expression for this,too.You might say such a person,was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.有些人出生在一个非常富有的家庭而有很多钱。有句短语正好形容这种情况。你可能会说这个人“含着金汤匙出生。”,This rich person is the
42、 opposite of a person who lives from hand to mouth.This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life,like food.与富人相反的则是仅能糊口的人，这类人非常贫穷，他的钱刚够购买生活最需要东西，例如食物。Parents might sometimes withhold sweet food from a child as a form of punishment for saying bad things.For
43、example,if a child says things she should not say to her parents,she might be described as a mouthy child.The parents might even tell the child to stop mouthing off.家长有时会扣押孩子的甜食作为孩子说坏话的一种惩罚。例如，如果一个孩子对他的父母说了不该说的东西，他可能会被视为多嘴的孩子。孩子的家长甚至可能会告诉孩子“不要再胡说了”,1 Do not bad mouth me.别说我坏话。Mouth在这里做动词，表示“说某人坏话”。例

47、，我什么时候说过我搬家的事？),5 word of mouth/by word of mouthWord of mouth就是我们常说的“口碑”。By word of mouth是指人们经由一传十，十传百的口传方式得知某件事，也就是藉着口耳相传，大家告诉大家的意思。例如：A：This restaurant is so small,but its always crowded.How did you find out about it?B：I heard by word of mouth that they had great food.（A：这家餐厅很小，但却始终客满。你是怎么知道这家餐厅的？
