【113】常用口語：I've grown tired of his games
grow tired of sth.表示變得厭倦某事物。
大家都學過be tired of sth.，強調的是厭倦的狀態，而grow tired of則強調那個變化的過程。

【114】詞彙講解：unparalleled senses
unparalleled是“優良無比的”的意思。
paralleled則是平行的意思，所以unparalleled就表示無可比擬嘛。

【115】詞義辨析：absolutely lethal
lethal指由於某物本身具有致命的性能。
deadly指能致命或實際已致命的事物，也可指企圖致死他人的人。
fatal正式用詞，強調死亡的不可避免性，多用於指傷或疾病等。
mortal語氣強，指導致死亡的直接原因。

【116】詞彙講解：don't underestimate her
understimate是輕視、低估的意思。
這裏翻譯成“不要小看她/別低估了她的能力”比較合適。

【117】詞組講解：don't relish the thought of killing
relish the thought of doing表示想到要幹嘛就很愜意享受
relish本意是指對於食物的胃口，引申爲享受做某事
