一段小文章
Are you tired more often than not? You're probably not getting enough sleep. The average person needs about seven to eight hours a night. Be sure you're getting enough!

Developing a sleep routine can help you get a good night's rest. Try to go to bed at about the same time every night. Get into the habit of reading or watching TV in bed to give yourself time to unwind and to signal to your body that it's bedtime. Avoiding caffeine and late-night eating are helpful too. You may also want to make sure taht the lighting and sound in your bedroom are at a good level for you. Be relaxed and comfortable when you hit the hay. Sweet dreams!

give sb. a piece of one's mind...是指对某人大发雷霆。
"This stupid idiot passed me on the left, then cut in ahead of me so close I had to jam on the brakes to keep from hitting him. When I caught up with him at the stoplight, I rolled down my window, and boy, did I give him a piece of my mind."

To tell someone off也是生气的意思，但带有拒绝的含义
"Can you believe this mechanic charged $800 to fix my car and it runs worse than it did before. Tomorrow I'll go back to tell him off: I'll make his ears burn for a week!"

两个俗语to throw a curve和to throw for a loop。To throw a curve是指让人没有防备、无法应付；to throw for a loop是指大吃一惊。

To throw a curve就是在打棒球时发曲线球。但是作为俗语，它的意思是给别人造成错觉，让他难以应付
"Professor Green certainly threw us a curve today. Half the questions were from parts of the book he told us to read but he never covered them in class. Of course, most of us didn't bother to read the stuff, so we really got caught."
这个学生说："格林教授今天可真是把我们难住了。考题的一半是他要我们看的那本书里的内容，可是他从来也没有在课堂上讲过。我们大多数人也都没有化时间去看那玩意儿，所以今天我们突然发现无法应付考题了。"
To throw a curve还可以解释为"欺骗"。

To throw for a loop是指"感到非常震惊"或者是"情绪很波动"。
"Bill told me he couldn't take me out last night because he had to study for a big exam. So it threw me for a loop when I saw him walking into the movie theater with that stupid girl who sits next to him in biology class.
她说："比尔告诉我，他昨天晚上不能带我去玩，因为他要准备大考。所以，当我看到他和那个生物课坐在他旁边的傻姑娘一起走进电影院的时候我真是大吃一惊。"

我们经常说做事要看轻重缓急，有的时候不得不把正在做的事或计划要做的事先搁置一边。美国人把这叫做：to put on the back burner。
Back就是后边，而burner在这儿的是指做饭的炉子。美国的厨房里，炉台上一般都有四个炉口，前面两个，后面两个。人们往往把很快能煮好的东西放在前面炉子上煮，把一些要慢慢煮的东西放在后面的炉子上。这就是to put on the back burner这个俗语的来源。下面这个例子是一个广告公司的老板在给会计下指示：
"Joe, I know you're working on the Anderson contract, but let's put it on the back burner for now. We need your help on the new Jones contract--it's worth more than five million dollars."
这个老板说："乔伊，我知道你现在正在处理安德森合同的事情，但是，让我们先把它放一放。我们要你来帮忙处理和琼斯签订的新合同。这个合同价值达五百万美元。"
每个家庭也经常会把马上想干的事推迟一段时间

Brainchild是某人头脑里主动产生的产物。
To set up a foundation in our college to help poor students was the brainchild of our sociology professor

To pick one's brain就是向别人了解情况，或是徵求精通某个问题的专家的意见
"I don't understand all this scientific language. I'd better go see Doctor Rogers at the medical school and pick his brain; maybe he can make it clear to me."

To give up the ghost是指人死了，或是无可补救的东西。

大家常常可以听到有的丈夫抱怨说，自己的太太在家里老是唠叨个没完，说他家务事做得不够，衣服到处乱扔等。美国人用一个字来形容这种爱唠叨的现象，那就是：nag。
Nag这个字的意思就是没完没了地唠叨，让听的人很烦燥。但是，这个字不是用来专门形容太太的，它还可以用在其他方面，例如，下面这个例句里的工人把这个字用在他老板身上：
"I like my boss except for one thing--he's always nagging me about getting to work on time. I'm never more than five minutes late, and that's only when the bus doesn't show up on time."

To get one's back up是生气的意思；

And there's one thing that really gets my back up: my wife nagging at me to hang my clothes up as soon as I walk in the house at night after a hard day at the office.

to scratch one's back是指某人帮了一下忙，帮忙的人也期待对方下回帮他的忙。
"In my business it's important to scratch each other's back. Say a customer does me a favor by giving me an extra big order. The next time he's in town I might take him out to dinner and a broadway show."

ghost writer; spooky
Ghost writer就是黑笔杆的意思。Spooky就是感到阴森森
"Writers like to see their names on books. But ghost writers have to be invisible like real ghosts. But don't feel to sorry for them: they get very well paid for writing under somebody else's name."

"I don't believe in ghosts. But you know something? I get this spooky feeling every time I walk by this old, deserted house at night where that woman was chopped to death 30 years ago."

To brainstorm就是大家群策群力，egghead指的是书生气很足的知识分子

"I'm sorry to tell you our client has turned down the ads we did for him. Let's meet at 2 o'clock and brainstorm ideas."

"I have to tell you that since he went off to college, Bill has turned into a real egghead. He'd rather read a book on physics than see a movie or a good football game on TV."
