④I could have crawled under the table and died.
She kept saying things like “oh, you're so funny!”and “we should do that!? When she DID talk to me, she treated me like a five-year-old!⑤I couldn't stand her!
He's a great guy; ⑥I enjoy hanging out with him.But I do NOT want to be the third party on one of his dates!(which is exactly what it was!)
I forgot to ask him to go with me to the theme park!⑦My luck,that girl—“just a friend of his友would 6)tag along.If she didn't, ⑧I know that she would be 7)jealous of me taking up his time!
Anyway, he won't be back to L.A. until Sunday, and Sunday I'm going over to my cousin's house to hang out—thank goodness!

10月7日,星期六
昨晚真是尴尬得要命!我的一个经常一起喝咖啡的朋友问我是否愿意一起吃顿饭,我答应了。当我到那里的时候,他的一位女性“朋友”出现了。相信我吧,她绝不是他的普通朋友那么简单。
在吃饭的时候,她不时地抚摸他,放肆地大笑,还和他打情骂俏,根本当我透明。我发现她斜眼望着我,我马上清楚她在做什么了—宣称他归她所有! 她压根儿不喜欢我!信我吧,她完完全全就是一副刻薄恶毒的样子!
我差点就钻到桌子底下,难为情得要死掉算了。
她一直在说些“噢,你真有趣! ”或者“我们真应该那样做! ”之类的话。 当她难得和我说说话的时候,她简直把我当作一个5岁的小孩子!我再也不能忍受她了。
我的朋友是一个很好的男孩子,我很喜欢和他一起。但是我绝对不愿意在他约会的时候做电灯炮!(昨天的经历就是如此!)
我竟然忘记邀请他和我一起去主题公园了! 幸好没有,要不他那个所谓的“普通朋友”肯定要跟着一块儿去。即使她不去的话,我想她也会妒火中烧,恨我占了他的时间。
无论如何,他得周日才能回到洛杉矶,而那天我要去表亲家玩—谢天谢地!

Smart Sentences
1.A girl “friend”of his showed up.他的一位女性“朋友”出现了。
词组show up的意思是“出现,露面”,常在口语中使用,例如当别人问你:Will you come to my party?
(你会参加我的派对吗?)你就可以说:Sure. I’ll show up. (当然,我会去。)
2 . I saw her looking at me out of the corner of her eye. 我发现她斜眼望着我。
词组out ofthe corner of one’s eye是指“瞟、睨视”,也含有随意地或偷偷地斜眼看的意思。 例如:
Out of the corner of her eye she saw the dog running towards her.(她不经意瞟到那只狗正朝她奔过来。)
3. staking her claim!宣称他归她所有!
短语stake one’s claim的意思是“宣称某物为自己所有”,例如:Both countries staked a claim to the islands.(两个国家都宣称那些岛屿归其所有),更常见的用法是声称与某人或某事物有特殊关联,提出对其的所有权,例如:Several clubs have already staked their claim to this outstanding young footballer. (有几个足球俱乐部都表示这名年轻的足球健将是他们的人)。
4. I could have crawled under the table and died. 我差点就钻到桌子底下,难为情得要死掉算了。
这句是用夸张的手法表现作者极其尴尬的场景。有点类似我们中文里面所说的“找个地洞钻进去”。
5. I couldn't stand her. 我再也不能忍受她了。
动词stand 在这里是表示忍受某人或某事物,意思相同的词组还有put up with sb., bear sb. 这些词组通常都是与 can’t 连用的,例如在某部电视剧里有如下对白:
Livia: You must marry Tiberius! 利维亚:你要嫁给泰比里厄斯!
Julia: I can’t stand your horrid son! 朱莉娅:我受不了你那个讨厌的儿子!
can’t stand 后除了接人和事物之外,还有以下一些灵活的用法。1) 不能忍受自己或其他人做某事。例如:Lily can’t stand working in an office.(Lily 最讨厌在办公室工作)2)接受不了某种想法或可能性。例如: I can’t stand the thought of leaving David.(离开大卫这个念头我想都不愿意去想。)
6. I enjoy hanging out with him.我很喜欢和他一起。
口语中常用到hang out这个动词词组,意思是与某人经常呆在一起或者在某地流连很久。例如: I don’t really know who she hangs out with.(我不太知道她和谁一起。)Where do the youngsters hang out?(年轻人去哪里消遣的?)同理, hang out 也可以变成名词的hangout , 指常被人流连光顾的地方,例如: The bar is a favorite hangout for students. (这个酒吧是学生们喜欢光顾的地方。)
7. My luck. 幸好
这是口语中的省略用法,完整的句子是: That was really my luck.
8. She would be jealous of me taking up his time. 我想她也会妒火中烧,恨我占了他的时间。
首先, be jealous ofsth / sb.是指嫉妒某事或某人,例如: Why are you so jealous of his success?(你为什么这么嫉妒他的成功?)注意jealous 只和of 搭配,而且of后面的动词要加ing。动词词组take up 是指填满或占据某些时间或空间,例如:This table takes up too much room. (这张桌子太占地方了。)又如:Her time is fully taken up with writing. (她的时间都用于写作了。)
