重點?難點?考點及疑點注釋
1. take off 意為“開始有成就，開始成名，脫掉(衣服)，(飛機)起飛”。
2. keep 意為“撫養(人)，飼養(動物)”，后接名詞作賓語，同義詞為raise。
3. go wrong意為“變糟”。
4. 辨析：in the end, finally, at last
in the end 與 finally, at last都可作“最后”解，但用法有所不同。
(1) finally有 個用法，一是在列舉事物或論點時，可用來引出最后一項內容；二是用在句中，表示“等了好久才……”。
We waited and waited and the train finally arrived.
我們等了又等，火車終于來了。
Finally turn off the lights and lock the door.
最后要關上燈，鎖上門。
(2) at last 也可以用來表示“等候或耽誤了很多時間之后才……”，帶有較濃厚的情感色彩，如不耐煩，不如愿等，語氣比較強烈。
At last the work was done and he could rest.
最后，工作完成了，他可以休息了。
She has come at last.
她總算來了。
(3) in the end表示“經過許多變化，困難和捉摸不定的情況以后，某事才發生”。
in the end相當于at last和finally的第二個用法。in the end可以預測將來，但at last和finally則不能。
They won in the end/finally/at last.
最后他們終于贏了。
He will be a scientist in the end.
最終他會成為一名科學家。
5. owe意為“欠錢，欠債，欠情，感激，歸功于”，一般用owe…to結構。
I still owe John 60 dollars. (I still owe 60 dollars to John. )
我還欠約翰六十美元。
I owed my success to him.
我的成功要歸功于他。
還有固定搭配owing to，相當于because of，意為“因為，由于”。
Owing to the rain, he couldn’t catch the bus.
由于下雨，他未能趕上那班車。
