1·background information on something or someone; basic facts in order to get a take (probably from “glossary”, the part of a book which lists sources of information)
继而,接下来的用户添加了gloss一词与gloosary相关的意思,我们由此得到了urbandictionary对该词的解释,即:与某事物或某人相关的背景知识;为了有所了解而给出的基本事实(很可能来自glossary一词的解释,即给出参考信息出处的书籍部分)。
2·It was something to see him wedge the foot of the crutch against a bulkhead, and propped against it, yielding to every movement of the ship, get on with his cooking like someone safe ashore.
这是很可一看的:他把拐杖的脚嵌人到舱壁的缝中,抵靠着它,以适应船的每一次颠簸,像人在岸上一样稳当地干着他的烹饪工作。
3·If someone does something nasty to you, that person may feel satisfaction, but you will feel even more satisfaction if you get revenge on that person.
如果有人向你做讨厌的事,这个人可能会感到满意,但你会感到更加满意,如果你对该人进行报复。
