- It's me. 是我。这是非正式用法。正式用法应该是 It's I。大多数美国人用非正式用法。另外这句话主语用的It。讲话时如果看不见对方，彼此称呼时常用that，it，this等词，如上一句话：Is that you, Susan?
- Am I glad to see you! 见到你我真高兴！这种句子形式上是问句，实际上是感叹句，加强感情和语气。
- I have been talking…我一直在给（他们）谈……。这是现在完成进行时的表达法，一般由have/has +been+现在分词构成，表示从过去某一时间一直持续到现在的动作或状态。
- real： really, very. 确实。这是一个非正式用法，正式用法应该是really或very。
- New Jersey：新泽西州。
- to be alone with you：to stay with you without other people around.单独和你在一起。
- get to： have the opportunity to do sth.有机会或时间做某事。例如：I haven't got to see any movie recently. 最近我一直没有机会看电影。
- restless： not able to rest; feeling the need to do something. 不能休息的；闲不下来的。
- time on my hands： time with nothing to do. 无法打发的时间。
- particularly： In special manner, especially. 特别地，尤其。
- retired： having given up one's job. 退职的，退休的。这种形容词由动词加-ed构成，类似的词还有 bored（厌烦的）、interested（感兴趣的）等。
- Sounds good to me. It sounds good to me.这（主意）听着不错。这里的sound意思是“听来像，令人觉得”。另外这个句子省略了主语it。省略主语在口语里比较常见，例如：“Want something to drink?”的完整形成为“Do you want something to drink?”。
- lamb chops： a cut of meat from a lamb. 羊肉。
- mashed potatoes： 土豆泥。
- tossed green salad： 蔬菜色拉。
- put my mind to good use： to use my intelligence well. 施展我的才能。
