Answer

You could use these words instead:
1 "second base" = "touching"
2 "quit before it was too late" = "stop before becoming drunk"
3 "account" = "story"
4 "state" = "government"

Answer

1. Second base 是脱衬衫，文胸，什么的。是跟棒球有关系的比喻。 First base 是吻， Home run 或是 all-the-way 是做爱，你可以猜一猜third base 是什么哈哈。她说的是第一次跟一个人外出她不常常超过 second base. 哈哈

2. I think weak-head here means that he was feeling dizzy, not that he was stupid. It seems like they're talking about drinking. If that's the context it means that he was starting to feel dizzy and knew that he had to stop drinking before he got really drunk and passed out.

3. In this context "account" means a description or a statement.

4. If this is from the United States (I believe is is), state means the state(州） government. If this isn't from the United States, state can also mean country or federal government.

Answer

1. second base is a term from baseball. Applied to dating first base is kissing; second base is heavy petting, and third base is full on sex.
2. a weak head usually means getting drunk quickly and losing control of what you are doing.
3.account here means a summarising of the wealth - like a report
4. State requests is a legal term. The prosecutor in most criminal cases is the State government... Here in Australia we refer to the Crown as the prosecutor. so State is the shorthand legalese for the State Prosecutor.
