  1) He is busy keeping up with the Joneses.

  NOTE1: Joneses引申为与自己地位相等的人;

  NOTE2: It means that he tries to be as modern as others.

  2) He's got duck's disease.

  NOTE1:补充:a lame duck可以指很倒霉的人;

  NOTE2: It means that he is so short.

  【世博VOA】洗耳恭听,两个句子小菜一碟!

  Here is a story:

  I have a younger brother. He's got duck's disease. Don't be afraid. I just mean that he is a bit short. Just like other youngsters, he is busy keeping up with the Joneses. He enjoys pop songs, movies, fashions and net games, etc. What I cannot bear is that he totally indulges himself in net games that he has fallen behind others in study. My parents are worrying about this. They know it is a bit difficult for him to tell good from bad immediately and it is impossible to make him a good man just in one day. Anyhow, it is time to take some measures.

  1) He is busy keeping up with the Joneses.他忙着赶时髦。

  2) He's got duck's disease.他个子很矮。

  【请你猜猜看】挑战自我,情景抢答也刺激!

  Here are three situations:

  S1. She likes the newest things and the most fashionable clothes. How do we call this kind of behavior?

  S2. He is 25 years old, but he is only 1.6 meters tall. So what is his disadvantage?

  S3. Is duck's disease a real disease? If no, what do we mean here?
