Jonah: Are you crazy? Who'd believe I'm twelve?

Jessica: If it's in the computer, they believe anything.

妙词佳句，活学活用

1. Practically

它的意思为“实际上”，在表达上和actually有一比。打个比方：
事实上，我每天要工作十个小时！
I have to work for practically 10 hours.

2. Cover

Cover的意思有很多，我们先从最常用的说起。大家比较熟悉的意思是“覆盖”。通常情况下，我们习惯说cover...with... 我们今天所接触的cover是完全不一样的，它的意思是“包括”。“包括了出租车的费用”就是 cover taxi cabs.

3. Keep an eye on...

“看着点……”。“帮我看着点行李行吗？”可以说成是：Can you keep an eye on my baggage?

4. A window seat or an aisle

买机票的时候会通常听到的词，“是靠窗的座位还是挨着过道的呢”？

5.Hurt your feelings

“伤害了你的感情”。对于此种表达我们还有其他的说法，比如：
I was hurt. I was hurt deeply.
我被伤害了，而且伤得还很深。
