Carrie 说shoot bear 时的意思是"They should go hunting for bear, because that would be a manly thing to do."当然这不过时当时她随口说说的而已。

On me 这里的意思是"我请客",想要了解更多关于请客的表达,请参看:"请客"怎么说

这个片语的意思是"Ease or assuage, make less severe减弱",例如:That snack took the edge off our hunger.(吃了这点小吃,我们不那么饿了。)

8. Hook up

本意是"以钩钩住",引申为"和……形成联系",例如:She had hooked up with the wrong crowd.

Crossword puzzle风行世界的字谜游戏

Americans began doing crosswords in 1913

Crossword puzzle is a word game in which words corresponding to numbered clues are put into a grid of horizontal and vertical squares to form intersecting words. The puzzle is solved when a player supplies all of the words correctly. Though a type of crossword puzzle has been found inscribed on an ancient tomb in Egypt, journalist Arthur Wynne is generally credited with its invention in 1913. Crossword puzzles became popular with Simon and Schuster's 1924 publication of a crossword puzzle book and now appear in virtually all newspapers. Players vie for titles at various crossword competitions.

The creating of crosswords is called cruciverbalism among its practitioners, who are referred to as cruciverbalists. The terms derive from the Latin for cross and word. Although the terms have existed since the mid 1970s, non-cruciverbalists rarely use them, calling crossword creators constructors or (especially outside the United States) setters. Many puzzle creators in the UK regard this term as affected or pretentious and consider that "compiler" is adequate.

The horizontal and vertical lines of white cells into which answers are written are commonly called entries or answers. The clues are usually called just that, or sometimes definitions. White cells are sometimes called lights, and the black cells are sometimes called darks, blanks, or blocks.

A white cell that is part of two entries (both Across and Down) is called checked, keyed or crossed. A white cell that is part of only one entry is called unchecked, unkeyed or uncrossed.
