Its just so expensive out here! Everyone wants a slice off you. The Inland Revenue wants to deduct income tax, the bank manager wants repayments on my student loan,the landlord wants the rent, gas, water, electricity and my mobile bills keep coming in, and all thats before Ive had anything to eat. And then some bright spark calls me out of the blue, asking if Im interested in buying a pension. And this rate, I wont even last till the end of the year, let alone till Im 60. 在索尔兹伯里酒吧干了一年之后，我去了伦敦经济学院深造。拿到硕士学位之后，我在一家投资银行找到了一份工作。我把那两万英镑投进了证券市场，在2008 年金融崩盘之前卖掉了所有的股票。我把托尼和其他投资者的钱还了，付给他们10% 的年息，并成立了自己的公司。公司的生意好得超乎意料，至今还红红火火。Uint2Reading 1Mysterious NeglectWrath: angerIncur ones wrathdialectEnchant: attractWe are enchanted by the beautiful scenery Exclude: 排斥I felt as though the other women were excluding me.InfluentialPriest牧师Cite举出The lawyer cited a previous case to support his argument.PoeticFoster助长，鼓励This approach will foster an understanding of environmental issues.Induce引起I hope our work will induce social change.Await降临到身上I wonder what surprises await us today.Sensation奇怪感觉I have the uncomfortable sensation that he was being watched.Withstand1. 顶住不被伤害/破坏withstand the attack2. deal with应对withstand the poor conditionspeace and quiet resolve下决心Reading2ObstacleClassificationStrive+ for/to doIdle1. 闲置Lie idle for periods2. lazyammunition弹药wade阅读、处理（大量乏味的信息）+throughI spent the whole day wading through the paperwork on my desk.AdvantageousTackle处理 tackle inflationStature境界，水平（名声，地位，身材）Grow in statureoriginality 独创性 lack originalityfor the most part基本上，通常There are a few complaints, but for the most part, people seem to be enjoy themselves.Look upon看作，视为He looked upon this opportunity as a challenge.Mind you请注意，请听清楚Toy with不太认真的考虑/不太有把握的考虑Ive been toying with the idea to setting up in business.Stumble upon偶然发现（某物），邂逅（某人）On the side作为兼职His job as a teacher didnt pay much, so he found another on the side.As it were可以说，在某种程度上Unit3Reading1Underestimate 1. 低估Underestimate the cost of sth2. 轻视Rebellion1. 反叛 Teenage rebellion 2. 造反 during the rebellionBust(经济上的)崩溃Boom and bustThe economy has its cycle of boom and bust.Visible1. 可见的The sea is visible from my hotel room.2. 明显的Theres a visible improvement in your work.Calf小腿肚Deteriorate恶化Relations between the two countries have deteriorated sharply in recent weeks.Rip1. 撕I ripped my jeans on a sharp nail.2. 扯掉He ripped off his shirt and dived into the river.Lavish1. 大量的,给人印象深刻的，昂贵的Lavish mode of living2. 慷慨的给予They lavished attention on their grandchildren.Empower=enablePad垫布Bleach漂白Daring大胆创新的It daring use of music, dance and humour challenges the audience to look beyond the stereotypes.Trainer运动鞋Predominant1. 最普遍的The predominant view was that2. 最重要的，最强大的My predominant feeling was surprise.Dictate1. 影响This technology will dictate peoples life profoundly in the future.2. 命令Dictate to sbIndex指数，索引Prim and proper一本正经She was too prim and proper to enjoy such a rude joke.Spark off引起（麻烦或暴力）The trail sparked off widespread rioting in the city.
