Activities
- What does "sheets of lead" mean here? Hello, In the following context, does "sheets of lead" refer to lead as a metal or to musical sheets? and what does the writer mean by that? Thank you in advanced! "The little hero," an amused voice echoed far down in the darkness. "Too weak, too young, but perhaps you will do." The voice felt ancient—cold and heavy. It wrapped around me like sheets of lead. "They have misled you, boy," it said. "Barter with me. I will give you what you want."January 15, 202460
- What does "exploded" mean here? Hello, Here is the text… "On the other side of the creek, the underbrush exploded. Five Ares warriors came yelling and screaming out of the dark." The setting is a dark forest, and the warriors have swords and spears. Does it mean that… 1) The trees literally shattered and scattered 2) Warriors burst through the trees 3) Warriors cut their way through the trees by moving them aside or by slicing them with their swords So, what happened to those poor trees? Thank you in advance!November 2, 202320
- What does "easy" mean in this context? Glancing back, I got my first clear look at the monster. He was seven feet tall, easy, his arms and legs like something from the cover of Muscle Man magazine—bulging biceps and triceps and a bunch of other ’ceps, all stuffed like baseballs under vein-webbed skin. He wore no clothes except underwear—I mean, bright white Fruit of the Looms—which would’ve looked funny, except that the top half of his body was so scary. Coarse brown hair started at about his belly button and got thicker as it reached his shoulders. Does it mean: 1) Relaxed 2) Easy-going 3) Cold-blooded 4) Stupid What does it exactly mean? Thank you in advance!September 30, 202392
- Thank you for your answer, Juan Fan. But isn't '生活垃圾' more like domestic garbage, which includes all wastes produced by humans, whereas in the article it specifies the waste produced by the human body, as the following sentence declares: "China’s toilet waste is converted into fertilizer and biogas." Thanks again0 votedNovember 5, 20190
- What's the right translation for this ...? "How the Chinese are turning human waste into ‘black gold’ " In this article title, how can "human waste" be translated with refined wordings? Are these translations right... 1)人为垃圾 2)人废物 3)人屎 And is there a slang translation that is better be avoided? Thank you in advanceNovember 5, 201990
- What does "pebble fight" mean here...? Here is the context... "The whole middle school had read this book called Lord of the Flies, where all these kids get marooned on an island and go psycho. So for our final exam, our teachers sent us into the yard to spend an hour with no adult supervision to see what would happen. What happened was a massive wedgie contest between the seventh and eighth graders, two pebble fights, and a full-tackle basketball game. The school bully, Matt Sloan, led most of those activities." Thank youJanuary 10, 201920
- "She's funny that way," literal or figurative? Hello, Does the sentence "She's funny that way" in the following text have a literal or a figurative meaning? Here is the context... "My mom made blue waffles and blue eggs for breakfast. She's funny that way, celebrating special occasions with blue food. I think it's her way of saying anything is possible." Does it mean that the mother is simply funny or that she is so devoted? Because I searched and found that the sentence is a title of a song, and the lyrics show a devoted woman, if I understood them correctly? What do you think? Thank you so muchNovember 14, 201890
