A Wrinkle In Time Part 1

在放学回家的路上，Meg手里抱满了书，却听到其中一个男孩子说她“哑巴弟弟”。听到这句话，她把手里的书扔到路边，用尽全力和他扭打起来，顶着被扯烂的衣服和一只眼睛下的淤伤回家。

At this she’d thrown die books on the side of the road and tackled him with every ounce of strength she had, and arrived home with her blouse torn and a big bruise under one eye.

这里有个很有意思的die，一直没有找到具体是什么意思，但是我觉得在这句里，我可以把它理解为“该死的”。 另外还有可以学习的单词：

1.tackle n.滑车，装备，用具，扭到；vt.处理，抓住，固定，与……交涉；vi.扭到，拦截抢球

英: 1. to try to deal with a difficult problem处理，对付（难题）

英: 2. to try to take the ball away from an opponent in a game such as football or hockey

英: 3. to talk to someone in order to deal with a difficult problem（为了解决难题）与……商谈，与……交涉tackle sb about sth.

例如：When I tackled Susan about it, she admitted she’d made a mistake.我找苏珊谈了这事，她承认是她错了。

英: 4. to start fighting someone, especially a criminal对付，打（尤指罪犯）

2.竭尽全力，学到了一个新的表达方式：with every ounce of strength

3.bruise, [ bru:z] n.擦伤，挫伤，青肿；vt.使受淤伤，使受挫伤；vi.擦伤，受伤；

英1: a purple or brown mark on your skin that you get because you have fallen, been hit etc.淤青，青肿，擦伤

minor cuts and bruises轻微的伤口和淤青

英2: if part of your body bruises, or if you bruise part of your body, it gets hit or hurt and a bruise appears (使）碰伤，擦伤，（使）成淤伤

英3: to affect someone badly and make them feel less confident打击，挫伤（某人的自信心）bruise sb’s pride/ego挫伤某人自尊心

回到家，她的十岁双胞胎弟弟，比她早一个小时到家，很气愤，告诉她：“有需要的话，让我们去打架。”

Her ten-year-old twin brothers, who got home from school an hour earlier than she did, were disgusted.“Let us do the fighting when it’s necessary,”they told her.

这句里新的单词disgusted，我们来看下：

disgust: n.厌恶，嫌恶vt.使厌恶，使作呕

作为名词，英译有两种：

英1: a strong feeling of dislike, annoyance, or disapproval厌恶，气愤，反感

with disgust: Joan looked at him with disgust.琼厌恶地看着他。

in disgust: Sam threw his books down in disgust and stormed out of the room.萨姆气愤地扔下书，冲出房间。

to sb’s disgust: Much to my disgust, I found that there were no toilets for the disabled.让我非常气愤的是，我发现竟然没有供残疾人使用的厕所。

介词放在disgust后，

disgust with: Nelson’s disgust with US politics.纳尔逊对美国政治的反感

Disgust at: The fans didn’t hide their disgust at the umpire’s decision.球迷们没有掩饰对裁判这次判罚的不满。

英2: a very strong feeling of dislike that almost makes you sick, caused by something unpleasant嫌恶，厌恶，作呕

例如: He reached into the bin with a look of disgust on his face.他把手伸进垃圾箱，脸上带着厌恶的表情。

作为动词，英译如下：

英1: to make someone feel very annoyed or upset about something that is not acceptable使（某人）反感（厌恶，气愤）

例如：Many parents claimed to be disgusted by the amount of violence in the film.许多家长称对电影里大量的暴力内容很反感。

be disgusted to find/hear/see

I was disguested to find the picture on page one of Sunday’s feature section.看到周日专题报道首页里的照片，我感到很气愤。

英2: to be so unpleasant that it makes you feel almost sick使（某人）感到恶心（作呕）

The thinking of dissecting a frog disgusts me.一想起解剖青蛙我就恶心。
