A: When can I come? 我什么时候能来？ B: Any day from today. 从今天开始任何
一天都可以。
Don’t be so proud. Any other boy here can play this game.
别那么自负，这里任何一个男孩都会玩这个游戏。
2) host family 指人们出国时所借宿的人家，类似汉语中“房东家”。例如：
Do you want to learn to speak English well? Why not go to England and stay with a hos
t family? 你想学说一口好的英语吗？为什么不去英
国与房东一家人住在一起呢？
3. Zhu Hui misses his family and wishes to have his mom’s delicious zongzi.

4. … but there’s still “no place like home”. 但是“千好万好还是不如自己的家好”。
( 金窝银窝不如自己的狗窝。 ) 这句谚语源自 1823 年英国伦敦首演的一
部音乐剧中一首名为《家，甜蜜的家》 (Home Sweet Home) 的歌曲。后来这首歌很快走红，其中的歌词 “… there’s no place like home” 被人们广为使用，成为独立的谚语。英语中还有一句类似的谚语： East or west, home is best.
