  某事继续进行,除了有continue外,还有一个词组可以表达。
  
  
  答案:

  例子:

 90. “偏离主题/离题”
  
  
  做个主题讲座,但说话人说自己先谈点别的内容,需要“离题”一下。这个“离题”怎么说?
  
  
  答案:
  digress
  
  有个词是progress是进展、进步的意思,而di-这个词跟的意思是偏离的意思,那么就很好理解digress的意思了。
  
  释义:
  to start to talk about something that is not connected with the main point of what you are saying 离题;偏离主题
  
  If you digress, you move away from the subject you are talking or writing about and talk or write about something different for a while.
  
  例子:
  On the subjects of engineers and dreams of independence, I should digress somewhat to say that I’m sure that I inherited the fascination for creative problem solving from my father.
  91. “挥霍/糟蹋钱”
  
  
  是不是有了大把的钱就可以挥霍呢?当然不行,坐吃山空。但要学会“挥霍”这个词的英文。
  
  
  答案:
  splurge
  
  这个词既是动词,又是名词。做动词的用法是splurge on sth.,这与spend monney on sth.是一样的,所以接的介词是On.做名词的用法是have a splurge,plurge前面也可以加一些形容词比如big, necessary.
  
  
  释义:
  1. an act of spending a lot of money on something that you do not really need 乱花钱;糟蹋钱;挥霍
  
  2. to spend a lot of money on something that you do not really need 乱花(钱);糟蹋(钱);挥霍
92. “某人被给予21响礼炮待遇”
  
  
  这是个有意思的句子,要是真去翻译,还挺难翻译的,但英语有个对应的短语,关键在于这个“响”,他们用的量词是gun。
  
  
  答案:
  sb. be given 21-gun salute
  
  
  例子:
  Gun salutes are the firing of cannons or arms as a (military or naval) honor.
  
  Multiples of 21-gun salutes may be fired for particularly important celebrations. 93. “愤怒的”
  
  
  有很多愤怒的词,今天遇到的是一个。
  
  
  答案:
  sb. be furious
  
  
  Someone who is furious is extremely angry.
94. “保持冷静”
  
  
  除了calm down,还有一个常用的表示冷静的词:cool。那么怎么用的呢?
  
  
  答案:
  keep my cool
  keep cool
  cool it
95. “灾难”
  
  
  这是个大家都不愿意看到的词汇,希望每个人都平安。
  
  
  
  答案:
  1. calamity
  
  释义:
  A calamity is an event that causes a great deal of damage, destruction, or personal distress.
  
  2. catastrophe
  
  释义:
  A catastrophe is an unexpected event that causes great suffering or damage.
  
  这个词的形容词是:catastrophic
  
  
  3. disaster
  
  A disaster is a very bad accident such as an earthquake or a plane crash, especially one in which a lot of people are killed.
  
  注意这三个词中间都只有“a”,而不是“ar”,另外,catastrophe最后字母是“e”,而不是“y”,因为trophy是奖杯的意思,是好事,而catastrophe显然不是什么好事。
