妙詞佳句
1. run off with sb.
在很多部電影中都聽到過這句話，雖然在日常生活中沒有用過，但是大家還是知道的好。它的意思就是“和……私奔”，或者再柔和一點：因為感情的關系和另外的一個人生活在一起了。比如“杰克和他的前女友在一起了”就可以說成是
Jack ran off with his ex-girlfriend.
2. put the dog to sleep
這句話的表面意思是“把那只狗給弄睡了”，實際上可不是這么回事。這里的dog
可不是狗的意思。在美國俚語中dog可以指丑女人。整句話的意思就是“把那個女人給干掉”。 我們來舉個例子： 如果你還不娶我的話，我就把那女的給殺掉。 If
you don't marry me, I'll put the dog to sleep.
3. IRS: Internal Revenue Service
Internal Revenue Service
(IRS)是美國財政部的一個機構，職能是執行稅收法。Revenues are collected through individual income
taxes; corporation taxes; excise, estate, and gift taxes; and social security
taxes.
