👒2. The window! He saw it on the other side of the table. If he could make it there, it would be one jump to the harbor below.Then Dr. Sherman grabbed the bag. “Now that would be a nasty fall,” he said, placing the bag on a tray.
👗「 on the other side of」，指“在……的另一边”；「If he could make it there」，make it意思是“成功做成某事”，所以这里是说“如果他可以成功到达那里”；
👗「a nasty fall」，nasty在这里意思是“非常令人不快的、糟糕的”，a nasty fall意思是“摔得很惨”。
👗全句大意：窗户在那儿！Nemo看到窗户就在桌子的另一边。如果他可以成功到达那里，只需要一跳就可以到下面的海湾了。接着 Dr. Sherman突然抓住了袋子，说“摔下去会摔得很惨的哦~”，然后把袋子放到了一个托盘上。
👒3. Before they could do anything, he opened his beak and caught the two friends.The pelican landed on a dock. He threw back his head to eat Marlin and Dory.
👗 「 opened his beak」，beak专指鸟的嘴，也就是“喙”；
👗「 threw back his head」，这里的throw back并不是真的把头扔出去，而是“把头往后仰”。

👗「made a choking noise」，choke指“噎住、卡住”，这里是说因为Marlin卡在鹈鹕的喉咙里，所以鹈鹕发出了那种被噎住的声音。
👗全句大意：Marlin大喊着“不！我跑这么远可不是为了当你的早餐的！”Marlin转了个身，让自己卡在鹈鹕的喉咙里，鹈鹕发出被噎住的声音，这两条鱼现在都卡在他喉咙里了。
👒5. The pelican opened his beak. “Get inside my mouth if you want to live,” he said.“How does that make me live?” Marlin asked, thinking Nigel wanted to eat him.
👗「How does that make me live?」，make sb. live中的make是使动，所以这个结构是“让某人活下来”的意思是，Marlin问这句话是因为他觉得鹈鹕要吃了他，还想把他骗进他嘴里。

1.7 章节彩蛋
👒本周老师来带大家看看那些“想当然”的错误表达，你看看你有吗？
👒“关门”，“关机”，“关起来” 只用一个close就可以吗？
👒The child’s mother closed her son in a room.(×) The child’s mother shut/loceked her son in a room(√)
👗一般提到“关”这个动作，我们会不自然的想起“close”这个词，比如说“ 关门”，我们可以用close the door，or shut the door，例如“出门的时候别忘了关门”Don’t forget to close/ shut the door.
👒那么，把…关起来，把某人关/锁在某地，需要用shut 或者lock。比如：
👗他不小心把自家的狗关在门外。 It was his own dog which he had accidentally shut outside.
👒shut这个词义很形象，当你很不高兴或一个人躲起来的时候，就可以用shut yourself in，表示把自己关起来：
👗他把自己关在房间里写信。 He shut himself in his room and wrote letters.
👒也可以用shut yourself away：
👗When news came of Robin’s death, she shut herself away and saw no one. 罗宾去世的消息传来后，她一个人躲了起来，什么人都不见。
👗再说“关灯”或者“关机”等表达，你千万不要脱口而出“close the light”…
👒开关电气设备一般用“turn/switch on/off”看下面两个句子：
👗Be sure to close the computer before you leave.(×) Be sure to turn/switch off the computer before you leave.(√)
