4. Sticks and stones.
我不认为你的话会伤了我。

这是一句很长的英文句子的开头，原话是这样的：Stick and stone may break my bones, but names will never hurt me. 意思是：石头和棍子能打断我的骨头，可是你的话一点也伤不到我。注意这里这个names的意思可不是名字。我们知道英语中骂人是call names，这句话中的names就是取“骂人的恶语”的意思。

5. Make a point of

意为"Treat something as important or essential"，例如：She made a point of thanking everyone in the department for their efforts.

6. Ta

语气词，主要用在英国英语中，表示"thanks"。

The history of piracy 海盗们的“光荣”历史

The flag of 18th-century pirate Calico Jack

Because it is often the result of failure or laxity in patrolling sea routes, piracy flourished in times of unrest, or when navies ordinarily protecting commerce were engaged in war. Pirates found their most suitable base of operations in an archipelago that offered shelter together with proximity to trade routes. Pirates preyed upon Phoenician and Greek commerce and were so active in the 1st cent. B.C. that Rome itself was almost starved by their interception of the grain convoys.

Pompey swept piracy from the Mediterranean, but with the decline of the Roman Empire it revived there and was prevalent until modern times. Muslim pirates infested the W Mediterranean; the Venetians, who ostensibly policed the E Mediterranean, preyed upon the maritime trade of rival cities; and the Barbary States got much of their revenue from piracy. In the North, the Vikings harassed the commerce of the Baltic Sea and the English Channel. Emerging in the 13th cent., the Hanseatic League succeeded in curbing the piracy of its era.

New trade routes opened during the Renaissance, e.g., the shipment of precious metals from the Spanish colonies, the rich trade with the East, and the development of the slave trade, that made piracy especially lucrative. At this period no great stigma was attached to piracy because maritime law had not been systematized. This fact, together with the increasing colonial rivalry of the powers, led states to countenance those pirates who promoted the national cause by attacking the commerce of rival nations. With the tacit approval of the provincial authorities, the West Indies became a pirates' rendezvous, and the English buccaneers of the Spanish Main in the 17th and 18th cent., who despoiled the Spanish treasure armadas and pillaged Spanish-American coast settlements, returned to England to divide their spoils with the crown and to receive the royal pardon.
