词汇精析

1fake

I remember when I was a kid, and she found out I wasn't brushing my teeth every night. She faked a call to the dentist's office. And that call is the reason why I still brush my teeth four times a day.（P79）

参考译文：我记得当我还是个小孩子的时候，她发现我不是每天晚上都刷牙。于是，她就佯装给牙医打电话，这就是为什么我到现在还是一天刷四次牙的原因。

fake：这个词汇看似简单，但是使用起来可能会有所偏差，除了“伪造、冒充”的意思外，我想应该不少人没有使用其“假装，佯装”的意思造过句吧。其实，这个词既可以作n.，又可以作v.，还可以充当adj.，你都熟悉掌握了吗？

She faked a call to the dentist's office. 她佯装打电话给医生。

She's not really sick— she's just faking it.她并不是真的病了，不过是假装的。

He faked a yawn. 他装着打了一个哈欠。

作为 n.

赝品；冒充者（an object such as a work of art, a coin or a piece of jewellery that is not genuine but has been made to look as if it is;a person who pretends to be what they are not in order to cheat people）

All the paintings proved to be fakes. 所有这些画结果证实都是赝品。

After working for ten years as a doctor, he was exposed as a fake. 当了十年医生后，他被揭露出是一个冒牌货。

作为 adj.

假的，冒充的，伪造的（not genuine; appearing to be sth it is not；make to look like sth else）

a fake American accent 伪装的美国口音

a jacket in fake fur 人造毛皮短上衣

2this

For example, the other day I had a conversation with this neighbourhood kid named Shawn Snella.（P80）

A：When I grow up, I‘m gonna be a professional basketball player.

B：Think again, Shawn! Neither one of your parents is taller than five-foot-two, and you're the only 200-pound six-year-old I know!

A：Waaah!

B：I can't tell a lie.（摘自配图）

参考译文：比方说，几天前，我和我们小区里一个叫Shawn Snella的小孩，有这么一个对话。

B：你还是再想想吧，你爸妈都没超过五尺二，而你又是我认识的唯一一个200磅的六岁孩子。

A：哇哇哇...（嚎啕大哭）

B：我不能说谎的。

this：相信看这篇文章的人，都知道这个词的意思，认为再简单不过，但是这个词还有一个用法，可能是你所不熟悉的：有个（向他人述说，讲故事，说笑话时使用）（used when you are telling a story or telling sb about sth）
