Lesson 6 Percy Buttons
★New words and expressions
☆beggar n.乞丐
注意這是我們目前為止學(xué)到的的以-ar結(jié)尾的名詞。
v.beg 乞求
beg for:乞求得到
ask for:請(qǐng)求得到
☆pocket n.衣服口袋
inner pocket：大衣、西服內(nèi)口袋
jacket pocket;coat pocket
pocket book:袖珍書；pocket dictionary
pocket money:零花錢（小孩的）
（不是零錢，零錢是change：get exact change）
男人的零花錢：beer money
18世紀(jì)，在小說里有時(shí)能見到女人的零花錢是針線錢。但是隨著時(shí)代的進(jìn)步，剩下的money都?xì)w女人管，所以女人無零花錢。
pocket pick:車上的小偷
☆call v.拜訪，光顧
call sb/call up sb:給某人打電話
call back:回電話
我們昨天學(xué)的電話用語
-Can you take a message for me?
如果不想讓第三人知道，你可以說：
Can you tell him to call back?
關(guān)于call的幾個(gè)短語：
call at+地點(diǎn)=visit someplace
call on sb
I will call on you.=I will call at your home.
call out=shout 大聲喊
call in sb 招集和邀請(qǐng)
For the project,the government called in a lot of experts.

for：為了這個(gè)目的去請(qǐng)求某人。sb更多的時(shí)候并不出現(xiàn)，而直接說ask for sth,因?yàn)閺?qiáng)調(diào)的是東西而不是人。
