Lisa picks up Jun at the Honolulu Airport
Lisa: Aloha! I have a lei to welcome you to paradise.
Jun: Huh? I don't see any cuties around.
Lisa: No, silly. Not that kind of “lay.” This lei is a necklace made of Hawaiian flowers! [hands Jun a lei]
Jun: Thanks. I was just kidding, you know. The islands look so beautiful from the air.
Lisa: And they look even more lush from the ground.
Jun: Well, after the Mormon Utah desert, I can use as much lushness as I can get. [puts on the lei]

小君：啊？我没看到什么可爱的男生啊。

小君：谢啦，你知道我是在开玩笑。从空中看这些岛简直美呆了。
莉莎：而它们从地上看起来更是绿意盎然。
小君：经历了摩门犹他州的沙漠之后，再多的绿意我都不嫌多。（戴上花环）

Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered why the stars twinkle? In fact, the stars themselves do not actually twinkle--the illusion is caused by the numerous layers of atmosphere between us and them.
你是否曾抬头仰望夜空，思索着星星为什么会一闪一闪呢？事实上，星星本身并不能闪烁，感觉到星星在闪烁其实是一种幻觉，而这种幻觉是由于我们和星星之间的多层大气所造成的。 | |

助动词should, would的用法
1）should无词义，只是shall的过去形式，与动词原形构成过去将来时，只用于第一人称，例如：
I telephoned him yesterday to ask what I should do next week.
我昨天给他打电话，问他我下周干什么。
比较：
"What shall I do next week?" I asked.
"我下周干什么？"我问道。（可以说，shall变成间接引语时，变成了should。）
2） would也无词义，是will的过去形式，与动词原形构成过去将来时，用于第二、第三人称，例如：
He said he would come. 他说他要来。
比较：
"I will go," he said. 他说："我要去那儿。"
变成间接引语，就成了：
He said he would come.
原来的will变成would，go变成了come.
