现代汉语中有不少词都是英语外来语，
High这个词就常和汉语一起混用:今天玩儿得很high。这个派对很high。可是它真正的意思并不是开心。High到底是什么意思? 英语里，形容心情high, 通常意思就是吸毒了。吸高了！
形容一个人的心情很high:
Have a blast⁴: 开心到爆
Everyone is having a blast: 大家都开心到爆
The party was a blast: 派对让人开心到爆了。
还有一个最最常见的用法：
Having a good time/ Having a great time
i wish you have a good time during your winter holiday!

短语wipe the slate clean的意思是一笔勾销，重新开始。
Slate是一种蓝灰色的石，从前常制成板状，供粉笔书写，一般用于学校。当时学生犯了过失，教师会把其名字写在石板上，处罚之后即抹去，此外，「挂帐」可说to put on the slate（记在石板上），例如﹕ i forgot my wallet at home. could you put this milk on the slate?（我忘了带钱包，这牛奶可以记账吗？）
To wipe the slate clean直译是「把石板抹干净」。现在引伸解作「清算旧帐」或「不咎既往」
