　　1. 解詞釋義

　　Angle-biter在這里的意思是“孩童”。關(guān)于“Don’t sound like an angle-biter.”的最初記錄，出現(xiàn)于19世紀(jì)中葉哈伯的雜志：And how are you, John? And how is Molly, and all the little angle-biters.這句話的意思是：約翰，你好嗎?莫莉和所有的孩子們都還好嗎?

　　2. 拓展例句

　　e.g. The angle-biters are romping about on the playground.

　　孩童們在運(yùn)動(dòng)場嬉戲。

　　e.g. He was an old man and he was acting like an angle-biter.

　　他是個(gè)上了年紀(jì)的人，但行為卻如孩童。

　　Ps：have a break的意思是“休息一下”。例如：

　　Yes, I can have a break from all this tired work in the office. 好哇，這樣我就可以暫時(shí)忘卻累人的工作了。

　　Let's have a break from TV. 咱們歇一會(huì)，暫時(shí)別看電視了。

　　Let's have a break and we'll go on with it in next period. 大家先休息一下，我們下節(jié)課繼續(xù)講。
