妙语佳句，活学活用
1. swamped
这个单词本身作为动词是“陷入沼泽, 淹没, 覆没”的意思。名词自然就是“沼泽地”的意思，但是它还有一些引申的词义，比如在这里它的意思是“使应接不暇，使陷入困境”等等。
e.g. She was swamped with work. 她忙得不可开交。
This company was swamped by heavy debts. 这个公司债台高筑。
2. stunning
意思是“极好的”“足以使人晕倒的”，当然也有“使人惊讶的”意思。如：
The circus gave a stunning performance to the audience. 马戏团给观众们带来了精彩的表演。
He thought you were perfectly5 stunning. 他觉得你令人陶醉。
英语中表示类似意思的词很多，比如：impressive/ gorgeous/ fabulous/ amazing/ wonderful，等等，大家应该多多积累，灵活使用。
3. say that again.
这里的这个句子就是它本来的意思，Alex 让 Henry 重复一遍他刚才说的话。我们还可以学一个跟这个句子很相似的句子：You can say that again. 我们来看一个例子：
--Shirley is a clever girl. 雪莉是个聪明的女孩。
--You can say that again. 你说的没错！
这里的You can say that again，意思是“一点没错；对极了！”。
4. take out
在这里，这个词组的意思是“带出去”，在这里其实就是和某人约会，在口语中大家也经常这么用，比如在电影 Sabrina中有一句台词是 David s taking out Patrick Tyson s daughter. 大卫在和泰森的女儿约会。
此外表示和某人约会还有一些其它的表达，都是由简单词组构成的，如：
He asked me out tonight.
I m with him.
How about going out with her?
