46、烤蛋糕给出了清楚的说明。look sb. in the eye(s) 直视，正视某人e.g.He likes very much to look beautiful girls in the eyes. 他非常喜欢盯着漂亮女孩看。此处looking her in the eyes，其中her是指the girl gas station attendant。注意该条款的幽默或讥讽：旅游协议居然煞有介事地列出这样的条款，似乎表明，要么妻子是个醋坛子（a jealous woman），要么丈夫是个好色之徒（a lecher）。12.Said hike shall be less than two h

47、ours and shall be called off if there is more than a 30% chance of rain. 但（上述徒步旅游）必须短于2小时，且下雨概率若超过30%，将予以取消。said为法律文件等专用语，意为“上述的，该”。e.g.Said Joseph Brown was seen breaking into the car on the night of January 15th. 有人见到约瑟夫·布朗于1月15日晚间破窗进入车内。Said witness was called in. 传证人出庭。 call off 取消；命令停止e.g.

56、 magnificent等，还可以说terrific，gorgeous，fabulous，incredible等。2.Here, want to see the pictures I took? 瞧，想看看我拍的照片吗？want to前省略了“Do you”。英语口语中的语法结构不像书面语那样要求严谨，在语境清楚的前提下可省略某些成分, 如疑问句中的助动词和主语可以省略，语序可以颠倒等等。e.g.Hate to see her? (=Do you hate to see her?) 讨厌看到她吗？Relaxed at home? (=Are you relaxed at home?) 在家休息

57、吗？Came to visit who? (=Who did you/he/she/they come to visit?) 来看谁呢？3.I remember reading about the Grand Canyon. 我记得看到过有关大峡谷的介绍。read about与read之间有区别，前者相当于read something (news, magazines or information ) about；后者用作及物动词时，其宾语应是阅读的对象，而非通过阅读想要了解的对象。因此当我们说read Shakespeare时，其实是在表达read the works by Shakespeare。比较：know sb. 认识某人；kn
