第二, 地道表達(dá)
blitz out
1. 解詞釋義
Blitz是“閃電戰(zhàn)”的意思,在該習(xí)語中,用來比喻“人飲酒的速度很快,以至于肝臟分泌的酶無法及時(shí)解除酒精的毒性而使人酣醉”。因此,blitz out就是用來形容人喝醉酒的樣子。
2. 拓展范例
e.g. He must blitzed out and his explanations were repetitive.
他喝醉了,東倒西歪地,反復(fù)在解釋。
e.g. He blitzed out and broke a beer bottle and got into as fight.
他和得東倒西歪,砸破一個(gè)啤酒瓶,跟人打起架來。
e.g. I think the drink must blitzed out, he doesn't usually sing in public.
我想他一定是喝醉了,他平時(shí)是不當(dāng)眾唱歌的。
第三, 詞海拾貝
1. bump into:意外碰到,無意中遇到(人或物)
e.g. I tried to avoid her, but it was just my luck to bump into her.
我不想見她, 偏撞上她了。
e.g. Actually, let's just read this little bit where you've made them bump into each other.
這樣吧,我們就只讀你讓他們偶遇這一小段吧。
e.g. Joanna heard him bump into the table and curse again.
喬安娜聽見他撞到了桌子上,又罵罵咧咧的。
e.g. My car ran bump into the wall.
我的汽車猛然撞上墻壁。
2. bits and pieces:零零碎碎的東西,(寓)心煩意亂
e.g. I always have a lot of bits and pieces in my coat pocket.
我的大衣口袋里總是裝著零七八碎的東西。
e.g. I must look out some bits and pieces for the church jumble sale.

e.g. He sat down on a bench, unceremoniously, doggedly, like a man who was bits and pieces.

他時(shí)常想起拋棄他的女友,這時(shí)候,他就心煩意亂。
第四, 語法點(diǎn)撥
She must have known something Jack has done.
【要點(diǎn)解析1】此句中運(yùn)用了情態(tài)動(dòng)詞的虛擬語氣,謂語是must have known something Jack has done。它是情態(tài)動(dòng)詞must have done這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu),用來表示非常肯定地對過去的事情的猜測。
【要點(diǎn)解析2】此句中是一個(gè)含有定語從句的復(fù)合句。 主句是she must have known something,從句是Jack has done,從句省略了引導(dǎo)詞that。由于被修飾的詞是不定代詞somethin
