1.Lily, are you shopping for some art to match your furniture?

点拨: shop在这里做动词用,意思是“购物,买东西”。“shop for something”意思是“购买什么东西”,表示这个意思,也可以用“go to the shop for something”。例如:Women in general like to shop for new clothes.(大多数妇女喜欢逛街买新衣服。)I must nip round to the shop for some milk.(我得赶快到商店转一圈买点儿牛奶。)People can shop for a variety of products on the Internet.(人们可在因特网上购买各种各样的产品。)

点拨: ploy是“花招,手段,策略”的意思。例如:His ploy is to pretend to be ill.(他的手法就是装病。)

点拨: get to是一个固定短语,意思是“到达(目的地)”。在这里可以理解为“达到什么目的”。Get to me意思就是“达到得到我的目的”。

点拨: now that是一个固定短语,意思是“既然,由于”,引导让步状语从句。例如:Now that a decision has been taken, let's do it respectively. (既然决定了,就分头去办。) Now that I am free, I can enjoy music for a while.(既然有空,我可以享受一下音乐。) Now that you have come, you may as well stay.(你既然来了,不妨就住下。)

7.Yeah, in your dreams.

点拨:In one’s dreams在这里可以理解为“做你的白日梦去吧。”表示不可能得到的的东西,是空想。
