用法学习: 1. A foundation garment (also known as shapewear 塑形内衣 or shaping underwear) is an undergarment designed to impermanently alter the wearer's body shape, to achieve what some view as a more fashionable figure. The function of a foundation garment is not to enhance a bodily feature (as would, for example, a padded bra) but to make it look more presentable. Specific styles of foundation garments have been essential to some fashion movements, and were required in some social situations during various fashion periods. Sportswear 运动衣 or activewear(Victoria Beckham has launched her first activewear collection with Reebok, having announced her collaboration with the sports brand in April 2018. The aim of the collection is to allow consumers to transition effortlessly from the street to the gym, without feeling the need to sacrifice fashion in favour of high-quality activewear, according to the press release. Each piece is designed to flex, adapt and transition for the optimum workout, but it was also important that I created something that is fashion-forward and can blend seamlessly into any wardrobe. Beyonce has had one of the most envied bodies in the world and the woman knows how to rock those killer curves like no one's business.  Obviously, Beyonce works hard at maintaining her amazing body and has recently launched her own fitness wear 健身内衣, 健身内衣 range . The long-awaited pieces from Beyoncé's activewear line, Ivy Park, have finally hit Australian shores and they are as amazing as we thought they would be. ) is clothing, including footwear, worn for sport or physical exercise. Sport-specific clothing is worn for most sports and physical exercise, for practical, comfort or safety reasons. Yoga pants are flexible, form-fitting pants designed for yoga as exercise and other physical activities that involve bending and stretching, such as martial arts, dancing, pilates, and aerobics. They are made from blends of cotton, lycra spandex, nylon, polyester, wool, or similar light and stretchy synthetic material giving the pants a soft, smooth finish. They are also worn as casual everyday dress by many women. 2. smeckledorfed (duped, bamboozled) 我们被骗了, 我们上当了 As described by spongebob squarepants, to smeckledorf is to con someone in a way that isn't obvious until later. (Whether or not the conning turns out to not be the case isn't necessary. I don't have a good record with health inspectors, not since the last one. To be fair, I didn't know if he was trying to smeckledorf me or not. "We've been smeckledorfed!" "That's not even a word and I agree with you!" 4. 少年犯罪刑期减少: Mr McConnachie told Lady Dorrian, Lord Menzies and Lord Drummond Young at the start of the appeal: "It was clearly an appalling and heinous crime. "The outcome of this appeal will not determine when, or indeed if, the appellant 上诉者 (  An appellant is someone who is appealing against a court's decision after they have been judged guilty of a crime. The Court of Appeal upheld the appellants' convictions. ) is allowed release." However, psychologist Dr Gary Macpherson concluded: "I am of the view that 我的看法是 the capacity for change may be limited due to the nature of Aaron Campbell's personality structure and his complex risk factors. "I apologise to the court for appearing pessimistic, however, I am not confident that Aaron Campbell has the capacity or desire to change his behaviour in any meaningful way and as such the risks will remain for the foreseeable future." After hearing about the ruling, Alesha's uncle, Calum-John MacPhail, posted on social media that he would speak to Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf about the decision. He later told BBC news: "I am angry, upset, done with it. I'm angry at the decision. "He should be tried like an adult. He doesn't deserve to have been given any less - or even an appeal." Meanwhile, Scottish Conservative justice spokesman Liam Kerr said the ruling was "disgraceful". He said: "This is one of the most vile criminals in Scotland, and he should not be enjoying having time shaved off his sentence. If anything he should be looking at an even longer stint. It added: "Against the cases to which we have made reference, a punishment part in excess of 20 years was plainly merited 合理合法, 应该的. "We have concluded that a punishment part of 24 years would be appropriate to reflect the appellant's youth."

 headed VS heading. heading for VS heading to: 美语里认为有区别. 英式英语里认为只用heading. 以下讲的是美语的区别: headed 表示的是去某个目的地, 重点在目的地是哪里, heading 是去的方向, 目的地不重要, 重要的是往那个方向去. Where are you headed 你去哪里? I'm headed to school 我去学校 = I am going to school. 从来不会说: Where are you heading? 听上去unnatural. 因为: I am heading towards 讲得是朝向而不是目的地 school. (It means I am going in the direction where the school is situated. So that doesn't necessarily mean I am going to school.). 'I am heading north'. So in this example 'north' is not a destination but it's just the direction. So you can't say 'I am headed to north' or 'I am heading to north'. 用heading提问的话应该是Which way you are heading 往哪个方向走? If we want to ask for a ride then we would definitely want to know which way the person is going and not exactly where he is going. So the above question is valid for this situation. 其他figurative用法: Man is heading towards his own destruction. China is heading towards becoming the most powerful nation on the Earth. So in the above examples 'heading' just explains the direction and not the destination. And also 'headed to' is not possible to use in these examples. 另一个解说如下, 作者认为 headed强调的是目的地, heading强调的是走, 离开, 如果句子topical的是走或者离开, 用heading, 如果topical的是方向或者目的地, 则用headed: If someone or something is headed somewhere, it means an orientation toward a particular destination. If someone is heading somewhere, then there is motion toward that destination, either currently or the near future. This, of course, is not a mutually exclusive distinction: One afternoon I had been rambling around in the hills east of town and was headed home. Now this hiker could just as easily have said he was heading home, since if he were headed home he'd eventually get there if he walked long enough in that direction. But the contrast here is with rambling: after having wandered about the hills with no particular goal, he's still hiking as before, but he has changed direction and is now headed home. In other words, headed makes the direction topical ( I. relating to a subject that is of particular interest at the present time. Topical is used to describe something that concerns or relates to events that are happening at the present time. The magazine's aim is to discuss topical issues within a Christian framework. The sinking of the tanker has made aspects of marine pollution particularly topical. The book has all the lively topicality of first-rate journalism. Genetic engineering is a highly topical issue at the moment. II. medical relating to or used on a part of the body. a topical ointment/cream. A topical medication 局部施药 is a medication that is applied to a particular place on or in the body. Most often topical administration means application to body surfaces such as the skin or mucous membranes to treat ailments via a large range of classes including creams, foams, gels, lotions, and ointments.), while heading describes the motion toward it. Soon, the train had left the city behind and was heading south. When we arrived in Philly, they divided the train as a portion was headed south to Atlanta and we were headed to St. Louis. In the first example, the train is currently moving away from the city in a southerly direction; the direction is not topical, but leaving the city behind is. In the the second, the train cars are being recombined according to their final destinations. Since this difference of direction is the sole content of this sentence, that direction is topical. If you jump on a train about to depart and you want to make sure you're on the right one, you're far more likely to ask, "Where is this train headed?" I had survived three years of army service in World War II, and now I was heading home on a train to Newark, New Jersey. I did not feel comfortable in letting it out that I was headed home after such a short tour. Even with me going home under medical orders, it just did not seem fair. In the first example, a soldier is on a train to his home in Newark. The travel itself is topical. In the second, a soldier is reluctant to tell anyone he is about to go home after such a short tour, i.e., whatever travel is involved is secondary to the reluctance to tell anyone about his destination: home. There is thus no reason to disfavor "I am headed home," much less consider it an error. Such a usage simply is giving you slightly different information even when a person is actually in the process of going home. headed for VS headed to: The difference between heading to and heading for is subtle enough that you can use them interchangeably, yet I think there is a difference. If you are heading to somewhere, you have a strong expectation of getting there promptly. If you are heading for somewhere, you are going in that route, but there is some possibility of not reaching it, or making of stops along the way. An even less definite phrase is heading towards. For example, imagine I was having a night on the town and a friend phoned to find out where I am. If I said: "I'm at the bottom of town now, but I am heading to the top of town." ... then my friend would probably infer that he should meet me in a pub at the top of town. If I instead said: "I'm at the bottom of town now, but I am heading for the top of town." ... then my friend is more likely to infer that he should meet me in some pub along that route. There is an equally subtle difference between heading and headed. Once more, you can use them interchangeably, but heading is more active, and headed is more passive. If you are the driver of a vehicle, or walking or running, you would be more likely to say heading. If you are a passenger in a vehicle, or you're walking or running but you're following a leader rather than navigating yourself, you would be more likely to say headed. Heading to somewhere is deliberate. It denotes an intended destination. The plane is heading to Dubai. Heading for somewhere is not always deliberate, and denotes a direction rather than a destination. Oh, no! The plane is heading for those mountains! You can also use "for" with the intended destination... The plane is heading for Dubai. ...however, you can't always tell whether that really is the destination if you do that. The plane is heading for Dubai at the moment, and will turn towards Cairo once it clears the English Channel. Lots of people have given similar answers. Hopefully these examples illustrate the point in a way which clarifies any confusion.

The governor denied accepting any kickbacks from the insurance industry. ...alleged kickbacks and illegal party financing. 关于后坐力: Recoil (often called knockback, kickback or simply kick) is the backward movement of a gun when it is discharged. In technical terms, the recoil momentum acquired by the gun exactly balances the forward momentum of the projectile and exhaust gases (ejecta), according to Newton's third law, known as conservation of momentum. In hand-held small arms, the recoil momentum is transferred to the ground through the body of the shooter, while in heavier guns, such as mounted machine guns or cannons, recoil momentum is transferred to the ground through the mount. ).

We tend to think of disaster as something that happens to others. But a growing number of people around the UK – preppers or survivalists, in the parlance – are quietly gearing up for the worst. They're filling pantries with supplies in case their local food chains disintegrate 供应链中断, 解体, storing thermals in their cars in the event that they break down in a snowstorm, packing "go-bags" with a collection of bare necessities – supposing they need to leave home in a hurry.), paranoid.

You gonna show me my merchandise? 20. They were up late. He told your uncles. They know that Smurf is sick. We got to move fast. Pope thinks that she might already be dead. He said that? He thinks that she either killed herself or she's on some kind of last bender ( a period during which a large amount of alcohol is drunk. If someone goes on a bender, they drink a very large amount of alcohol. They went on a bender for two days after they won the championship. What is a bender? This slang term can mean a drug party, an extended period of continued drug use. An alcoholic bender is a multiple-day drinking spree during which the person does not eat and gets very little sleep. If you're on a bender, you might pass out for a short time, wake up and start drinking again. Going on a Bender:  An alcoholic bender does not refer to one evening of intoxication. It refers to a drinking spree that is extended over at least two nights. But some definitions insist that in order to be a true bender, the drinking spree has to last at least three days. Why three days? Because a weekend is two days and there are many drinkers who drink all weekend. Going that third day, and possibly missing work or school day, makes the drinking spree a self-destructive bender, rather than just another lost weekend. During a bender, the drinker typically begins drinking as soon as he wakes up, continues drinking until he passes out again, then wakes up and repeats the cycle. Binge Drinking vs. Bender: Sometimes the term "binge drinking" is confused with "bender." Some people believe that warnings against binge drinking are warning against going on multiple day bout of intoxication, but that is not what binge drinking is at all. Binge drinking is drinking five or more drinks in any one drinking session for men, or four or more drinks a day for women. Harmful drinking can occur long before it reaches the level of a bender. While going on a bender might be considered self-destructive behavior, simply drinking five beers or a bottle of wine in one day is considered hazardous drinking. ) somewhere. Do you think he could be right? I don't know. Maybe. If she is dead, we got to get our hands on that will before the others, make sure you're in it. I heard them out by the pool till almost 3:00. Well, don't worry about Pope. I can calm him down. Well, he told me that your job went south. I know they're pissed at you, but it'll pass 会没事的, 会过去的. 21. I got to hurt somebody. Hurt them how? Just rough them up 揍一顿 a little bit, nothing crazy. Just enough to send a message. What's the message? No, what is it, man? I just need you to keep the car running while I'm in there and get me out of there fast when I'm done. Alright? So the Scout doesn't need a new transmission. Who is it? You gonna help me or what? Alright. 22. Where you headed 你要去哪里? I have work in a couple hours. I was gonna run some errands. Do you want to take a drive? Where? I've had the GPS on Smurf for a while. She's sick. Maybe she went to go and see her lawyer about her will. You warming up to me 开始喜欢, 开始接受, J? 23. I know a guy who's holed up 藏匿于 in the desert. One of these survivalist types. He's been stockpiling gold since the '70s. So, I went out and took a look at it. There's at least $2 million worth there. I'm not finished talking, Deran. He stores the gold in a bunker he built. Now, here's a culvert 管道 ( A culvert is a water pipe or sewer that crosses under a road or railway. ) that runs alongside it, but on the county property side, so we can dig our way in from there. Just haul the shit out. Gold? It's better than cash. How do you know this guy? I've done business with him over the years. You just decided you wanted to rip him off? I didn't say I liked doing business with him, did I? I thought we didn't make jobs personal. It's not personal, baby. I just don't need him anymore. And he's sitting on a lot of gold. I want it. So, that's why you called this meeting, just to pitch us a job? Is there something else you wanted to discuss, Deran? We know you're sick, Smurf. I mean, Pope told us. I have maps topographic and engineering maps 工程图 from the county that give you all the information you need. Let's get going on this now. So that's it, huh? Don't talk about it, don't ask questions, we just pull another job. What did you expect? I don't know. Maybe normal human emotion. From Smurf? Yeah, I don't blame her, man. I mean, who the hell wants to talk about cancer? Look, I'm not asking to hold hands and go through family photos and shit. I just think she needs to talk about it with somebody. I think she needs to deal with it somehow. She is dealing with it. She wants to do a job. If she's got cancer, she shouldn't be pulling a job - right now - It's what she wants. If it's as big as she says it is, then maybe we should do it. All right, J. That's real touching. It's not about the gold, all right?

Bootstrapping or booting refers to a group of metaphors which refer to a self-sustaining process that proceeds without external help. The phrase appears to have originated in the early 19th century United States (particularly in the sense "pull oneself over a fence by one's bootstraps"), to mean an absurdly impossible action, an adynaton. Dr. Douglas Engelbart used the term centrally in his work from 1970 to 2010,[ referring to the process used by lumberjacks to hoist themselves up trees (A heist [haɪst] is a robbery from an institution such as a bank or a museum, or any robbery in which there is a large haul of loot.) (to cut higher branches) using a strap wrapped around the tree. He founded an institute "The Bootstrap Alliance", focused on "getting better at getting better" embodying the notion of the Bootstrap Circuit, taking in feedback from the output and feeding it back in to improve. Booting is the process of starting a computer, specifically in regards to starting its software. The process involves a chain of stages, in which, at each stage, a smaller simpler program loads and then executes the larger more complicated program of the next stage. It is in this sense that the computer "pulls itself up by its bootstraps", i.e. it improves itself by its own efforts. The computer term bootstrap began as a metaphor in the 1950s. In computers, pressing a bootstrap button caused a hardwired program to read a bootstrap program from an input unit. The computer would then execute the bootstrap program, which caused it to read more program instructions. It became a self-sustaining process that proceeded without external help from manually entered instructions. 9. And besides, we need our cut, once Baz starts selling everything.

I was telling my friend, Luke, about you, and, uh Oh, you're telling your friends about me? I'm honored 深感荣幸, 受宠若惊. Um He said something, and I figured I'd just ask you about it.

Every time I see him now, it's, like, just a general atmosphere of him wanting to throw an axe at my head. So, tell me about Frankie. Frankie's a trip 图好玩的 ( someone's a trip. that's a trip. Meaning that was crazy, weird. You didnt expect what happened or what someone did. Also means someone or a place or situation is funny, strange, not expected. This goes back to the 90s. That comedian is a trip! That was a trip when that lady started drooling and laughing when I asked her for directions. You're a trip Meaning you are funny, amusing, and abnormal in a positive way. A comparison of the positives of a trip such as the adventure, fun, memories, and being taken away from your comfort zone. Oh my goodness Cameron! You're a trip. This is a good example of a word in popular culture which has changed in meaning. Usually what happens is a word is adopted by a fringe culture, and then eventually it makes its way to popular culture and everyone uses it- but by then the meaning has changed to something milder that what it originally meant. A 'trip' means a drug trip, a psychedelic experience, which may be strange or puzzling. I think the closest analogy is when you take a boat ride you get on the boat and float somewhere, good or bad, and when you are on the trip you can't get off the boat until the ride is over, whether you like it or not. But then the term changed to also mean when someone is very stuck in their point of view- "oh, that's just their trip" -because it means something which only that person is experiencing, the people around are not. Like someone who is worried about something that nobody else is. So to say about someone 'She's a trip" or "He's a trip" or about something "it's a trip" means that it's strange, and that may be a good thing or a bad thing. Either way, it means something strange and intense and possibly difficult to deal with. Frankly, I hear people say this expression about someone as a way of avoiding saying much worse. For instance:  "I've met his roommate. The guy's a trip." (raises eyebrows and sighs). And maybe the truth would really be:  "I've met his roommate, all he does is talk about politics and he likes to get mad at you. I'd rather not talk to him." So to say something is a trip means either it's really strange and wild, or else it's challenging but the speaker doesn't want to directly say why. someone is tripping used for saying that you think someone is crazy or is behaving in an unreasonable way. She's tripping if she thinks she can buy an apartment in Manhattan. trip I. 绊倒. If you trip when you are walking, you knock your foot against something and fall or nearly fall. She tripped and fell last night and broke her hip. He tried to follow Jack's footsteps in the snow and tripped on a rock. The cables are all bright yellow to prevent you tripping over them. I tripped up and hurt my foot. Make sure trailing flexes are kept out of the way so you don't trip up over them. II. If you trip someone who is walking or running, you put your foot or something else in front of them, so that they knock their own foot against it and fall or nearly fall. One guy stuck his foot out and tried to trip me. He made a sudden dive for Uncle Jim's legs to try to trip him up. He was tripped up by a passer-by. III. If you say that someone is, for example, on a power trip, a guilt trip, or a nostalgia trip, you mean that their behaviour is motivated by power, guilt, or nostalgia. There's such pressure to be happy in Hawaii, if you're unhappy you're on a guilt trip. The biggest star perk, and the biggest power trip, must be the private plane. IV. A trip is an experience that someone has when their mind is affected by a drug such as LSD. An anxious or depressed person can experience a really bad trip. If someone is tripping, they are having an experience in which their mind is affected by a drug such as LSD. One night I was tripping on acid. V. If someone trips somewhere, they walk there with light, quick steps. A girl in a red smock tripped down the hill. They tripped along with scarcely a care in the world.  ). Bad idea bringing her around my boys. What do you mean? Well, look at my boys. And look at you. Okay. Let me illuminate you about Frankie and me, okay? First of all, we're not married, and second of all 首先, 其次, I have the distinct advantage of wisdom over youth. And let me tell you something. Youth is pretty goddamn boring. I'd rather focus on you. You probably can't even get it up anymore with all that shit you've been putting in your veins. There are many things people can do in the bedroom, all right? And intercourse happens to be one of the least interesting items on the menu. Are you schooling me about sex now, Billy? 'Cause I'm the little girl that taught you everything you know.

I don't like reminiscing because it makes me feel old.  I'm going for a swim, and then I'm gonna smoke a joint. You're welcome to join me once you're done reminiscing. "Reminiscing" That's an interesting way to put it. So the boys gave you your cut of the money already, huh? No, but they will. You were always such a trusting man. Yeah. And then I met you. You're never gonna see a penny of that money. Yeah, I will. Honor among thieves. Shit like that, huh? Now, if you want me to talk to them for you, I can do that. No, no. I don't want you talking to them, okay? Nobody hates you more than those boys. Really? With the possible exception of me. You raised some smart kids, and they know not to screw the idea man. Smurf might just be messing with my mind, but I gotta ask. You're not gonna screw me on my money, right? No. Okay. I'm sorry I even asked. You just know how she is.

He kept saying he "sold four of the big ones." He's such an asshole. What? Yeah, every day, Tim sets up a little seashell stand by the pier. And he's got this big-ass seashell with a sign in front of it that says "Not For Sale." And every day, some idiot 傻逼 tourists walk by, and they ask him how much he wants for it. Sometimes they give him like 200 bucks, all for some shitty shell he found at low tide. Yeah, it's classic.

I promise that I'll be there in time with the money for the deposit: my word is my bond. What do you want? Word is bond, son. Word is bond. Mm. How long are you gonna keep punishing me, Deran? Maybe till you stop dragging me into all your bullshit. I'm worried about Pope. I'm thinking Lucy got into his head down in Mexico. He isn't sleeping. You heard anything from him? He's got that look he gets, that that somewhere-else look. He hasn't spoken to me in long time. Etymology: Shortening of "my word is my bond", popularized by its use among the Five-Percenter movement and hip-hop music. 20. We gotta do something about Pope, man. What now? He didn't wipe out yesterday. He charged the cops, man. Just pulled out his gun and headed straight for 'em. Yo, I had to drag him the hell out of there, man. And trust me. He didn't want to go. We got to do something, or somebody's gonna end up dead. Just knew he shouldn't have moved in with Smurf. Just made him worse. Well, then, we just got to get him away from her. Like, during the day, at at least. To do what? I don't know. Like a job? A job. A "job" job? Yeah. Do you remember what happened the last time Pope had a normal job? Smurf's tire shop that she owned? He didn't even last two weeks before he beat the shit out of that guy 'cause he didn't like the Firestones he sold him. No. Also, nobody's gonna hire that guy, because, first of all, he's a felon 重刑犯, and he's scary as shit. 21. Where you from? Around. Around? What are you doing here? You asked me to come with you.

When rich kids go and live in poverty for the experience , to prove they are artists, musicians , for entertainment , feel like they are connected to real life , but usually get money from mom, dad, uncle, to exist.

What are you studying? I'm undeclared 专业未定的( You've probably heard the term "undecided major" (also referred to as an "undeclared major") tossed around in a conversation about going to college or choosing a career path. In reality, "undecided" isn't actually a major at all—you're not going to get a diploma with the word printed on it. The term is a placeholder. It indicates a student has yet to declare the degree they plan to pursue and hope to graduate with. (Reminder: Your major is what your degree is in. So if you're an English major, you graduate from college with an English degree or a Bachelor of Arts in English.) Fortunately, even though the term sounds somewhat wishy-washy, being an "undecided major" isn't necessarily a bad thing in college. Eventually, you'll have to settle on a degree you'd like to earn and make sure you're taking the required curriculum, but many schools allow you use your early terms to explore. ).
