老頭真是個(gè)可愛的人绳军，他給那些學(xué)生們說：Halsbury 82歲的時(shí)候當(dāng)上財(cái)政大臣擅编，而90多歲歲才過世距境。于是給那些伙計(jì)說：why（表示感嘆步藕，哎呀）, fellows like that are too young at fifty? ... I was myself ... a mere infant ..’ 如果說老頭是個(gè)mere infant，那么我也是mere infant (mere-只不過傻工，僅僅),哈哈哈哈霞溪。老頭50歲開始慢慢成熟起來，也能很好的控制disciplinary troubles中捆。
積累地道表達(dá)：
1 He thought at first he would give up his housemastership , but the Head persuaded him otherwise.
otherwise 表示different或者in another way鸯匹，不要做sth
eg: The police believe he is the thief, but all the evidence suggests otherwise (= that he is not)
A lot of people think otherwise = A lot of people do not think so.
He might have told you he was a teacher, but the truth?is quite otherwise.
值得注意的是otherwise 可以做形容詞和名詞，表示不一樣的/以另一種方式／不要做sth
類似的用法還有：think/say/decide/suggest otherwise. 其含義相當(dāng)于don’t think/say/decide/suggest so. (小靜的這一點(diǎn)總結(jié)得很好泄伪，直接復(fù)制過來 ～)
2 Just as marriage had added something, so did bereavement
正像以前結(jié)婚（給他）增添了些什么殴蓬，現(xiàn)在喪偶也是這樣（也給他增添了些什么）；見下文自明
Just as....蟋滴，so too...染厅，其中Just 和too 都可以省略掉,表示：正像
As she likes popular fiction, so he likes poetry. 是“他喜歡詩，正像她喜歡通俗小說一樣”的意思津函，不是講因果關(guān)系肖粮。
造句：Just as traveling adds happiness, so does reading.
As I enjoy reading, so he likes playing computer games.
3 Once, after some energetic fives, during which he had played as well as many a fellow half his age? , he overheard a boy saying: ‘Not half bad for an old chap like him. ’
five --- 表示英國手球的一種，這讓我想到give me five
many a N單數(shù)
not half bad 一點(diǎn)也不差 --還不錯(cuò)? = pretty good
4?or feel diffident about his own work and worth.
diffident --與confident相反尔苦，表示缺乏自信涩馆，害羞的 ---depreciate 貶低 (看到這個(gè)詞要想到另一個(gè)詞)
5?the whole thing became a comic turn sandwiched between afternoon games and the return to classes。
? 把…夾(或插)在…中間:
eg:I was sandwiched between ten fat men on the bus.?
造句：I am sandwiched between my two friends
I Lived in a house sandwiched between two trees.
6 However heretical he might be about the Boers, he was orthodox
近義詞 --反義詞： heretical? [hi'retik?l]?-- orthodox?['?rθ?dɑks]
7‘He gets away with it? .
?ges away with 表示做壞事 （或錯(cuò)事）而不受到處罰允坚，
?They have repeatedly broken the law and got away with it.
U can get away without speaking english, 在紐約不用說英文也行
When I wrote my assignment in China, I would not get away plagiarism
煙霧散開：the mist clear 用clear 就可以啦
