1. I just joined a rock climbing club yesterday. 我昨天加入攀岩社了。
join多指参加某组织，成为其中的一个成员

[相关词汇]take part in指参加群众性活动、会议、劳动、游行等，往往指参加者持有积极的态度，起一份作用，有时与join in可互换。例句：
①Will you take part in the English evening?同我们一起参加英语晚会好吗？
②All the students took an active part in the thorough cleaning.所有的学生都积极参加了大扫除。

join in通常指参加某种活动，尤其指和其他人一起参加某项活动。例句：
①May I join in the game?我可以参加这个比赛吗？
②I hope you”ll all join in the discussion.我希望你们大家都参加讨论。

如果说"与某人一起做某事"、"和……在一起"则用join sb. in sth./doing sth.。例句：
①Would you join me in a walk?和我一起去散步好吗？
②Will you join us in a game of cards?你愿意和我们一起玩牌吗？

2. I thought you were afraid of heights. 我还以为你怕高。
I thought “本以为”，指过去的想法，所以用think的过去式。
be afraid of… “害怕……”，of是介词，其后常接名词或代词，不能接句子。
例如：Don't be afraid of asking questions.
不要怕提问题。

afraid也可以接句子，be afraid +that从句，意为“恐怕……”,
I’m afraid that he won’t come tonight.
恐怕今晚他不能来了。

3. Good for you！很好。
此句口语用来赞扬别人或认可别人，为某人感到欣喜等。
例如：
A: I finally went on a date with Jane. 我终于和珍妮约会了。
B: Good for you!太好了，为你感到开心。

4. Chicken! 胆小鬼。
Chicken愿意是“小鸡”，此处是俚语，意为“懦夫，胆小鬼”。

[同义词句] coward n.胆小鬼，懦夫；wimp n. 懦弱的人
Only a coward would run from danger. 只有懦夫菜临危脱逃。
Are you a man or a mouse? 你是男子汉还是胆小鬼？
