And The Man ruined the ozone(Ozone [ˈouzoun] 臭氧 (systematically named 1λ1,3λ1-trioxidane and catena-trioxygen), or trioxygen, is an inorganic molecule with the chemical formula OO2 (also written [O3]). It is a pale blue gas with a distinctively pungent smell. It is an allotrope of oxygen that is much less stable than the diatomic allotrope O2, breaking down in the lower tmosphere to normal dioxygen. Ozone is formed from dioxygen by the action of ultraviolet light and also atmospheric electrical discharges, and is present in low concentrations throughout the Earth's atmosphere. In total, ozone makes up only 0.6 ppm of the atmosphere. Ozone's odor is sharp, reminiscent of chlorine, and detectable by many people at concentrations of as little as 10 ppb in air. Ozone's O3 formula was determined in 1865. The molecule was later proven to have a bent structure and to be diamagnetic.), and he's burning down the Amazon, and he kidnapped Shamu and put her in a chlorine tank.

It was called rock 'n' roll. But guess what. Oh, no. The Man ruined that too with a little thing called MTV! So don't waste your time trying to make anything cool or pure or awesome.

Cold turkey Substitute teacher. - Mr. Schneebly, it's after 10过十点了. - On Tuesdays, the children have music class now. Right. OK. Good work, people.

You guys, stop messing around瞎胡闹. We've got a lot of work to do.

Four-and-a-half stars for you. - Now, listen, normal kids would have been stoked to slack off, but not you guys, because you're not normal. You're special. Because you guys have the right attitude, I think it's time we started our new class project.  - Is this a school project ? - Yes. And it's a requirement. It may sound easy, but nothing could be harder. It will test your head and your mind and your brain too. Will other schools be competing? You could say that你可以那么说. - What's the prize? - A win will go on your permanent record. Hello, Harvard, yo. We're not supposed to get started until next quarter, but I think we should get a leg up on the competition(get a leg up I. 推一把. 助一臂之力. (idiomatic) To get a boost or a lift.

So let's just keep it on the down-low, shall we? Keep it zipped. All right, you guys, let's kick it into overdrive(go into overdrive to start working very hard, or to start doing something in an excited way. With her exams only two weeks away, she's gone into overdrive and is studying ten hours a day. The tabloid press went into overdrive at the news that the princess was getting married again.). 11.

Why do you say you're not cool? -Nobody ever talks to me. -Well, those days are over, buddy. You could be the ugliest sad sack on the planet, but if you're in a rocking band, you're the cat's pajamas(A highly sought-after and fancy example of something, usually referring to inanimate objects. Etymology: A slang phrase coined by Thomas A. Dorgan. The phrase became popular in the U.S. in the 1920s, along with the bee's knees, the cat's whiskers (possibly from the use of these in radio crystal sets). In the 1920s the word "cat" was used as a term to describe the unconventional flappers from the jazz era. This was combined with the word pyjamas (a relatively new women's fashion in the 1920s) to form a phrase used to describe something that is the best at what it does, thus making it highly sought and desirable. A report in the New York Times of a publicity stunt by an unknown woman in 1922, in which she paraded along 5th Avenue clad in yellow silk pajamas and accompanied by four cats similarly dressed, may indicate the phrase was already current by that date, as the "cat's meow" certainly was.). You're the bee's knees((idiomatic, dated, usually with the) Something or someone excellent, outstanding. We had strawberry shortcake for breakfast on Saturday and the kids thought it was the bee's knees. I used to play in a band when I was younger. We had a few fans and we thought we were the bee's knees. There is a new bee's knees every few minutes in New York. Usage notes: Normally used as "the bee's knees", rarely without the article (then usually with a possessive, as in "her bee's knees" or "my new bee's knees").).

John said he could drive me to the airport, but then he flaked out on me, and I had to call a cab at the last minute. ). - I won't. Now give me a platform. Let's rock, let's rock today. Slap it. Shoot it. Kaboot it. We'll work on that later. It's a long shake((informal) Instant, second. (Especially in two shakes.) ). Get going动起来. 10. Fancy Pants, get over here. You're on security detail护卫队(A security detail more often known as a PSD, standing for Protective Services Detail, Personal Security Detachment, or Personal Security Detail is a protective team assigned to protect the personal security of an individual or group. PSDs can be made up of military personnel, private security contractors, or law enforcement agents.). Make sure no one outside knows what we're doing. The band's future depends on you. OK, your first mission: Soundproofing this room. Get on it上手吧. Can I be the band stylist instead? Of course you can, Fancy Pants. We're gonna have a lot of equipment. We're talking amps, electric guitars, maybe even lasers and smoke machines. Now, your job is to master the transportation and operation of this technology. Without a first-rate 第一流的 roadie crew(The road crew (or roadies) 技术人员 are the technicians or support personnel who travel with a band on tour, usually in sleeper buses, and handle every part of the concert productions except actually performing the music with the musicians.

I defer to (= accept) your judgment.) on all issues related to the musical direction of the band. 12. -You want me to be a groupie? - Groupie粉丝团(The term groupie is derived from group, in reference to a musical group, but the word is also used in a more general sense, especially in casual conversation, to mean a particular kind of female fan assumed to be more interested in relationships with rockstars than in their music. A groupie is generally considered a devoted female fan of a band or musical performer. The term originates from the female attaching herself to a band. A groupie is considered more intense about her adored celebrities than a fan and tends to follow them from place to place. A groupie will attempt to have a connection with the band and may seek sexual or intimate contact. Obsessive groupies will almost certainly involve themselves sexually with any members of the band including the roadies. Further, there are now groupies of sports teams and other types of celebrities.) is an important job. - I researched groupies on the Internet. They're sluts. They sleep with the band. - No. That's not true. They're like cheerleaders. - I don't want to be a cheerleader.

May I reiterate that I'm just not cut out for this big kid shit (not be cut out for sth 天生不是...的料 to not be the right type of person for something: I'm not cut out for an office job.)? 关于什么是room parent的回答: A room parent. That means you've volunteered to stay in the classroom as a teacher's helper for a given amount of time / days. I've never done it in big kid school, only preschool and only a teeny bit there, because I'm just really too busy. This used to make me feel bad, but considering I do tons of stuff with my kids, and I know I have NO patience for other people's kids, it's not like I'm a terrible mom for not doing it.

How are we being graded被打分, 积分 in all this? Since I'm band manager, and I have the most responsibility, wouldn't... ? Summer, if you grade-grub(An annoying aspect of working with a "strict" grading 计分体系, 计分系统, 打分体系 system (e.g., 90%+ = A, 85% = A-, 80% = B+, etc.) is what I call the "grade grubbing" phenomenon: the people who feel compelled to raise complaints about the grading because they didn't get the final score they want. Are there any satisfactory methods of discouraging such behavior? I don't want to stop people with legitimate issues from asking for regrades 重新打分 (mistakes happen!), but I would like to avoid having to deal with the student who tries every which way to get the few points they need to move up a level. I usually say that my rule for regrades is like the NFL's rule for replay challenges: there must be "indisputable visual evidence" that the original grade was incorrect. For instance, scores were added incorrectly, or a correct answer was marked wrong. If the score was a "judgment call"个人有个人的判断 (for example, I deducted减去, 刨去, 扣除, 扣掉 two points for some error and the student thinks it only deserved one point deducted), I won't change the grade, unless I did something really egregious. I've seen the policy "We regrade the entire assignment and your grade could go up or down" but it makes me a little uncomfortable. It suggests an element of randomness or caprice in the grading, which I don't want to promote, especially for younger or weaker students who may already feel like their grade is random. I don't think students should feel like they have to roll the dice to get a genuine error corrected. ), I will send you back to the first grade. You got it? 14. - I'll play you my song, if you want. The thing is, I just want you to keep in mind记住, I wrote it in, like, 15 minutes. It's not done.

He was gonna call the fuzz(call the security. police的俗称, cop, pig, fuzz.)( Etymology is rarely an exact science准确的科学. Words or phrases spring up, become popular, and eventually may find their way into print. The process takes time, and it's usually difficult or impossible to track backwards回溯, 往回追 to discover where a particular word or phrase arose. Let's start with cop. Cop the noun is almost certainly a shortening of copper, which in turn derives from cop the verb. The most likely explanation is that it comes from the verb "to cop" meaning to seize, capture, or snatch, dating from just over a century earlier (1704).   The word "cop" has other meanings as well, all connected to "catch" or "snatch": To "cop out" meaning to withdraw or escape, or to evade responsibility. To "cop it" meaning to be punished or get caught. To "cop a plea" is to try to catch a lesser punishment by admitting to a lesser crime. "A fair cop" means to be caught in the act( the smoking gun Fig. the indisputable sign of guilt. (Fig. on a murderer being caught just after shooting the victim.) Mr. south was left holding the smoking gun. The chief of staff decided that the the aide should be found with the smoking gun. red-handed 当场抓获, 人赃并获 With clear evidence of guilt. Etymology: To be taken with red hand in ancient times was to be caught in the act, like a murderer with his hands red with his victim's blood. The use of red hand in this sense goes back to 15th-century Scotland and Scottish law. Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe (1819) contains the first recorded use of taken red-handed for someone apprehended in the act of committing a crime. The expression subsequently became more common as caught red-handed. caught with one's hand in the cookie jar 人赃并获 (idiomatic) Observed or apprehended while committing a theft, especially while embezzling money. caught in the cookie jar, caught raiding the cookie jar, caught with one's fingers in the cookie jar, caught with the cookie jar. caught with one's hand in the till ). If you thought the term pig arose in the 1960s, you're in for a surprise. The OED cites an 1811 reference to a "pig" as a Bow Street Runner--the early police force, named after the location of their headquarters, before Sir Robert Peel and the Metropolitan Police Force (see above.) Before that, the term "pig" had been used as early as the mid-1500s to refer to a person who is heartily disliked. The usage was probably confined to the criminal classes until the 1960s, when it was taken up by protestors. False explanations for the term involve the gas masks worn by the riot police in that era, or the pigs in charge of George Orwell's Animal Farm. While police officers usually don't mind being called "cops," they aren't usually fond of the term "pig." A policeman's lot is not an 'appy one. ). Would you just listen to me你能不能听我说一句? I have an idea. 19. It's OK. It's cool. I just wanted to say, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have barged in 闯进来 here(barge in (to some place) Fig. to go or come rudely into some place. to enter a room suddenly and noisily, usually interrupting someone in a rude way. The kids just barge in without knocking. He just barged right in without knocking.

Both were unable to run and received shrapnel 子弹擦伤 ([ˈʃræpn(ə)l] small pieces of metal that fly out of a bomb or bullet when it explodes. ) wounds believed to be from stun guns. Mr Honan said he usually spoke to them about three times a day and had found it unusual that he was unable to get hold of them. But he did not expect they had visited the cafe and as he watched the dramatic siege unfold on television did not even consider his loved ones had been captured. "We went to bed thinking 'Those poor people,' and were completely oblivious to the fact that our family was in there as well," said Ms Svensen. "They had something on that they had to go to so we would have thought that's where they were and not in the cafe. ). It wasn't fair to you or the kids, especially after what they've been through.

Miss Lemmons must be on crack, right, kids?  We were learning in sing-song. - One of your methods ? - Yeah. I find it's helpful when you're teaching the subjects that are the boring subjects. Well, you don't mind if I just sit in on your class this afternoon, do you? So please just continue with your method. And 54 is 45 more than... What is the answer, Marta? - Nine. - No, it's eight. No, it's nine Yes, I was testing you 我只是考考你. It's nine. I'm very happy that you're able to extend your stay, but I must say, I find your methods of teaching very unusual.  That sounds very impressive, but we're not interested in experimental education here. So if from now on you could just stick to the curriculum, that would be great. I would really love to talk some more about your philosophy on teaching. Do you think maybe we could grab some coffee? You want to go get some coffee with me? Yeah. I really would. 20. Well, I've been... I've been dying to ask you something, Mr. Schneebly. Well, Ned... ...in your experience, how does Horace Green compare to the other schools that you've taught at? Oh, your school is the best. You're just saying that你也就说说罢了, 你不是认真的, 说着好玩罢了, 逗我呢, 哄我开心呢. - I'm not. You know that kids at other schools just have fun all the time? They run around. There's no discipline. They're happy. It's anarchy. This is the best school I have ever teached at. I swear. I'll drink to喝一个 that. Stay there你别动, 你呆着. I'm gonna put on some music.

This is the first time a teacher has asked me to do anything outside of school. - No way. I think it might be one of those things where people are intimidated. They hate me.  Yes, they do. They sure do. I can see. I wasn't always like this. I wasn't always wound this tight不苟言笑的, 不拘言笑的. There was a time when I was fun. I was funny. I was. But you can't be funny and be the principal of a prep school. No, you cannot, because when it comes to their kids, these parents, they have no sense of humor. If anything goes wrong, it's my head. It's my head in the smasher. These parents will come down on me like a nuclear bomb. I can't make a mistake. I gotta be perfect. And that pressure has turned me into one thing that I never wanted to be. A bitch. 24. They might be a little distracting让人分心的, 让人分神的. It's glitter rock and it's glam and it's fabulous.

Ros, excuse me, wanted to remind you about our field trip tomorrow. - What field trip ? - The educational concert. Oh, I forgot about that.
