妙词佳句
1. run off with sb.
在很多部电影中都听到过这句话，虽然在日常生活中没有用过，但是大家还是知道的好。它的意思就是“和……私奔”，或者再柔和一点：因为感情的关系和另外的一个人生活在一起了。比如“杰克和他的前女友在一起了”就可以说成是 Jack ran off with his ex-girlfriend.
2. put the dog to sleep
这句话的表面意思是“把那只狗给弄睡了”，实际上可不是这么回事。这里的dog 可不是狗的意思。在美国俚语中dog可以指丑女人。整句话的意思就是“把那个女人给干掉”。
我们来举个例子：
如果你还不娶我的话，我就把那女的给杀掉。
If you don't marry me, I'll put the dog to sleep.
3. IRS: Internal Revenue Service
Internal Revenue Service (IRS)是美国财政部的一个机构，职能是执行税收法。Revenues are collected through individual income taxes; corporation taxes; excise, estate, and gift taxes; and social security taxes.
