Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Day 2

Day 2, Page 11-21    结束部分文字：but as usual, I was wrong.

一. 字词

1. chew sb. out

(1) 原文：Dad walked down to the basement to chew Rodrick out, and I tagged along.

(2) 字典解释：to talk angrily to someone in order to show them that you disapprove of what they have done.

(3) 造句：When I came back to my office, my boss chewed me out.

2. take sb. under my wing

(1) 原文：I guess I kind of felt sorry for Rowley, and I decided to take him under my wing.

(2) 字典解释：to help and protect someone who is younger or less experienced than you are

(3) 造句：My brother always takes me under his wing.

3. deserve

(1) 原文：And he never gets in trouble, even if he really deserves it.

(2) 字典解释：to have earned something by good or bad actions or behavior

(3) 理解：我记得读《杜拉拉升职记》时，书中提到过 "You deserve it." 这句话可以表达截然相反的两个意思。例如你涨工资了，老板对你说：“干得不错，这是你应得的。” 或者你干了坏事，遭报应时，有人对你说 ：“你罪有应得！”

(4) 造句：

① Sam got the bonus at the end of the year, because he has worked pretty hard a whole year. He deserved it.

② The thief was caught by the police in the end. He deserved it.

注：今天看到Eric说，尽量不要用very，它过于口语化、模糊。然后我在读小屁孩儿的时候发现，作者一直在用pretty这个词来表达very的意思，学习一下。

二. 句子

1. But I guess I must have made a pretty big racket because the next thing I knew, Dad was downstairs, yelling at me for eating Cheerios at 3:00 in the morning.

(1) 知识点：非谓语动词的使用

(2) 仿写：I came home pretty late because of working overtime, but my Dad hasn't slept yet, waiting for me.

2. Unfortunately, Dad wakes up at 6:00 in the morning no matter what day of the week it is, and he is not real considerate of the fact that I am trying to enjoy my Saturday like a normal person.

(1) 结构：no matter what...

(2) 仿写：No matter what you say, I'll try again. 

三. 日记

Today I went to an exhibition of light and sound. Although it's pretty noisy, I have gained a lot by visiting. And I took part in a new product show in the afternoon. Fortunately, I got a Bluetooth headset, because I was the first one to answer the question correctly. I felt proud of that.
