Mr. Lang was not above using deception = He would do anything to deceive/cheat.
Eg: She was not above helping with the housework = She would help with housework. She
believes that doing so was NOT beneath her, too low of an activity of her social standing.
artful evasion of a reporter's question
an outright lie
compromising photos= 败坏名声的photo。
i'm taking it one day at a time = once a day
at a time = 一次；每次
there is no way out of it = no other ways
she got wait-listed AT her first three choices
every now and then = 不时的；常常
No, no, no... I'll get that = i will help with that/ I will do that...
put your life on hold = 耽搁生活
not to put too fine a point on it = too introduce a fine/important point, apologetically.
eg: not to put too fine a point on it, Khurty, but you can be a terrible person sometimes.
I think I might stop by for a little visit
you tried to guilt me into taking mom back to my home.
just hear me out! = 听我说完
thank you for calling about.......
you can talk to bree... as much as you like
well, but In my defense, ..........
I have what may strike you as a very odd request
as we just saw, there is no such thing as ......
now she needs us, and we can't just turn our back on her.
whatever you are thinking, i can explain.
when i put in the water heater, i really wrenched my shoulder.
why do people resort to deception?
