1.whizz-kid意为“神童;有为青年”,whizz意为“能手;善于.。.的人”。
2.when it comes to意为“就.。.而论;当提到.。.”,其中to为介词。
3.bargain hunting
bargain有“特价商品”的含义,hunt意为“追逐;猎取”,因此这个词组就意为“淘便宜货”。
4.take sth. to a new level将.。.提到一个新的水平
Jordon said, “I will not buy anything unless it’s onsale or I’ve got a coupon and I won’t let my mum buy anything full priceeither--she’s not allowed to put anything in the shopping basket without mypermission。”
