Language points
1. My daughter is 16 and my boy is already
in junior high school.
英语high school为“中学”之意，在美国和加拿大尤指“高中”（senior high school）。在英国，“中学”除high school这一说法外，人们还常用secondary school这一说法。此外，为避免high school可能形成的误解，人们还用junior和senior两词来区分初、高中，将“初中”称作junior high或junior high school； “高中”称作senior high或senior high school。
英语可用start school表示“入学；上学”，用finish school表示“结束学业；毕业”。
打从初中开始，马克就成了卢克的好朋友。
Mark has been Luke's good friend since junior high school.
他明天就要入学了。
He will start school tomorrow.
他十八岁从学校毕业。
He finished school at the age of eighteen.
2. We have already cleared out a lot of
things from our bedrooms.
clear out 清理；丢掉
我离开前清理了我的桌子。
I cleared out my desk before I left.
请清理你的房间。
Please clear out your room.
3. We have decided to each sell five things
that we no longer use.
1) each在句中对we进行限定，表示“（两
个或两个以上的人或物种）各自；每
个”。
2) 句中we no longer use是由that引导的定
语从句，修饰前面的名词five things。
3) 句中no longer的意思是“不再；不复”，
有时可用not … any longer或not …
anymore替换。
我们每人各有一辆公司的汽车。
We each have a company car.
这是我看过的最好的小说。
This is the best novel that I have read.
他再也忍不住自己的眼泪。
He could no longer hold back his tears.
她不再年轻。
She is no longer young.
4. My daughter was more understanding,
although she also felt sad to part with
certain toys.
1) although和though同义，在一般情况
下，可以互换使用。只是though较普
遍，常用于非正式的口语或书面语中，
而although则较为正式。另外although
语气比though重，常用以强调让步概
念。
2) part with为一个短语动词，表示“不情
愿地与……分手，将之送给或卖给他
人”。
虽然我的汽车很旧，但我不想买一辆新的。 
Though/Although my car is very old, I don’t want to buy a new one. 
虽然我告诉他不要做，但他仍然坚持要做。
He insisted on doing it although I told him 
not to. 
旅行结束时他不情愿地和我们分手了。
He parted with us at the end of the trip.
5. As for me, I did not want to give up my
football shirts, but, to be honest, I have
not played for a while now.
1) as for意思是“至于；关于”。
2) give up与give in都有“放弃，让步”之意，但
give up指行为者碰到某种困难或原因而自己
主动放弃；give in指行为者屈于某种压力而
被迫按别人的要求去做，侧重于屈服。
3) to be honest是英语口语中一个常用表达，
表示“说实话；老实说”。英语中类似的表
达还有：to be frank，意思是“坦率地说”。
至于旅馆呢，非常不舒服，而且离海边有好几里地。
As for the hotel, it was very uncomfortable and miles from the sea.

When you get married, will you give up your job?
