【87】詞彙講解：He's a junior.
junior在此指三年級學生，這邊當然是高中三年級啦。
在美國高中或者大學裏頭，一年級新生叫做freshman，兩年級則是sophomore，四年級畢業班的就是senior。

【88】詞彙講解：Edward doesn't live in town. Technically.
technically除了字面上“技術上的”意思之外，還有“嚴格地來說”的意思，這邊就是後者。
老爸問Bella說你不是說不喜歡鎮上的男生麼，Bella回答嚴格來說愛德華也沒住在鎮上，所以我也沒算撒謊咯。

【89】常用口語：that's the plan.
意思是“原計劃是如此”、“我們準備這樣”。一般用於迴應他人的問題。

【90】常用口語：good luck with that.
good luck大家都知道是祝你好運的意思，但後面加上with that，多少有點諷刺的意味了哦。
這裏就是老爸明知貝拉沒體育細胞，聽說愛德華要帶她去打棒球，覺着特有喜感的迴應。

【91】背景介紹：pepper spray?
胡椒噴霧，想也猜得到幹嘛用的是吧？沒錯，就是用來防狼的。

【92】俚語解釋：it's the American pastime
pastime特指用於消磨一段快樂時光的活動，也就是消遣啦，有幾個意思相近的同義詞哦。
hoblly指在某一具有知識性和趣味性的領域內從事的業餘愛好活動。
pastime多指消遣，系空餘時間的娛樂活動，常常不具什麼內在價值或意義。
recreation通常指令人愉快的消遣或有節制的活動，側重於遊玩、遊戲和消遣。
