【87】词汇讲解：He's a junior.
junior在此指三年级学生，这边当然是高中三年级啦。
在美国高中或者大学里头，一年级新生叫做freshman，两年级则是sophomore，四年级毕业班的就是senior。

【88】词汇讲解：Edward doesn't live in town. Technically.
technically除了字面上“技术上的”意思之外，还有“严格地来说”的意思，这边就是后者。
老爸问Bella说你不是说不喜欢镇上的男生么，Bella回答严格来说爱德华也没住在镇上，所以我也没算撒谎咯。

【89】常用口语：that's the plan.
意思是“原计划是如此”、“我们准备这样”。一般用于回应他人的问题。

【90】常用口语：good luck with that.
good luck大家都知道是祝你好运的意思，但后面加上with that，多少有点讽刺的意味了哦。
这里就是老爸明知贝拉没体育细胞，听说爱德华要带她去打棒球，觉着特有喜感的回应。

【91】背景介绍：pepper spray?
胡椒喷雾，想也猜得到干嘛用的是吧？没错，就是用来防狼的。

【92】俚语解释：it's the American pastime
pastime特指用于消磨一段快乐时光的活动，也就是消遣啦，有几个意思相近的同义词哦。

pastime多指消遣，系空余时间的娱乐活动，常常不具什么内在价值或意义。
