1. I just joined a rock climbing club yesterday. 我昨天加入攀巖社了。
join多指參加某組織，成爲其中的一個成員

[相關詞彙]take part in指參加羣衆性活動、會議、勞動、遊行等，往往指參加者持有積極的態度，起一份作用，有時與join in可互換。例句：
①Will you take part in the English evening?同我們一起參加英語晚會好嗎？
②All the students took an active part in the thorough cleaning.所有的學生都積極參加了大掃除。

join in通常指參加某種活動，尤其指和其他人一起參加某項活動。例句：
①May I join in the game?我可以參加這個比賽嗎？
②I hope you”ll all join in the discussion.我希望你們大家都參加討論。

如果說"與某人一起做某事"、"和……在一起"則用join sb. in sth./doing sth.。例句：
①Would you join me in a walk?和我一起去散步好嗎？
②Will you join us in a game of cards?你願意和我們一起玩牌嗎？

2. I thought you were afraid of heights. 我還以爲你怕高。
I thought “本以爲”，指過去的想法，所以用think的過去式。
be afraid of… “害怕……”，of是介詞，其後常接名詞或代詞，不能接句子。
例如：Don't be afraid of asking questions.
不要怕提問題。

afraid也可以接句子，be afraid +that從句，意爲“恐怕……”,
I’m afraid that he won’t come tonight.
恐怕今晚他不能來了。

3. Good for you！很好。
此句口語用來讚揚別人或認可別人，爲某人感到欣喜等。
例如：
A: I finally went on a date with Jane. 我終於和珍妮約會了。
B: Good for you!太好了，爲你感到開心。

4. Chicken! 膽小鬼。
Chicken願意是“小雞”，此處是俚語，意爲“懦夫，膽小鬼”。

[同義詞句] coward n.膽小鬼，懦夫；wimp n. 懦弱的人
Only a coward would run from danger. 只有懦夫菜臨危脫逃。
Are you a man or a mouse? 你是男子漢還是膽小鬼？
