第二、 對話精講
1. 地道核心表達(dá)
【核心短語】be above oneself
【解詞釋義】above在該習(xí)語中做介詞，意思是“高于，在......之上”。Above oneself是形容某人因興高采烈而得意忘形，趾高氣揚(yáng)的樣子，該習(xí)語通常被用作表語。
【典型例句1】He gets above himself sometimes.
他有時(shí)自視過高。
【典型例句2】That child needs to have a strict teacher; he's getting far above himself.

【典型例句4】His recent successes puffed him above himself.

【典型例句5】She has got far above herself and now it's time she was taken down a peg.
她太自以為了不起了，是該殺殺她的威風(fēng)的時(shí)候了。
第二、句海拾貝
【句型模板】What of ......?
【語法用法】of的后面通常接it，this，that。表示“你認(rèn)為......怎么樣?”“......有什么關(guān)系呢?”“......有重要性呢?”
【句型操練】Yes, I wrote it. What of it?
不錯(cuò), 是我寫的。那又怎么樣呢?
