【40】俚語解析：do they just ditch?
ditch一詞本身是開鑿溝渠的意思，這裏用的是一個俚語的用法，表示“翹課”。
它還能表示擺脫什麼人、離開什麼地方。

【41】口語詞組：Dr. And Mrs. Cullen yank them out for, like, hiking and camping and stuff.
yank是猛拽、硬拉的意思，yank out就是拉出去、拖去幹嘛……
這句話非常口語：庫倫夫婦倆會把他們拉去，遠足啦，野營什麼的。最後的那個and stuff在口語裏很常用。

【42】口語詞組：I tried that out on my parents. Not even close.
Not even close也在口語中很常見，表示答案相差甚遠，或者起效甚微，都能用這個說法。
這裏是說我也想說服我父母讓我翹課出去玩，他們聽都不聽的。

【43】背景知識：I'm going to the prom with Eric.
在校園題材的片子裏，prom一詞出現的頻率很高，prom其實是promenade的縮寫，在美國和加拿大地區高中裏面舉行的正式舞會。

【44】口語詞組：I took control.
take control的意思很明確，表示掌握了控制權，採取了主動的意思。

【45】俚語解析：all the good dresses get cleaned out.
clean out有多重的意思，這裏指短時間內被搶購一空。
它還能表示清場、徹底清潔乾淨的意思。
