【6】口語詞組：the eyes and ears
字面看得出是眼睛和耳朵，引申出來就表示眼觀六路、耳聽八方，指某個人消息很靈通的意思。
相關習語：all eyes and ears 認真地看、仔細地聽

【7】口語詞組：suffer-in-silence
suffer是受苦、忍受的意思，在安靜中忍受，也就是逆來順受、默默隱忍。這倒也挺符合貝拉的個性的。

【8】俚語講解：Chillax
chillax是一個俚語的組合詞， = chill + relax。
relax大家都理解的，放輕鬆的意思；chill則表示寒冷、冷靜，也是口語裏面經常用來讓對方保持冷靜的詞兒。倆加在一起基本上還是原來的意思：放輕鬆，別緊張，保持冷靜。

【9】口語詞彙：tan
tan n. 黃褐色
這個詞既能表示曬黑的或者深色的皮膚，以及曬黑皮膚這個行爲。而pale則表示白皙的膚色。

【10】口語詞組：home girl
homegirl n. 同鄉的女子 a girl or woman from one's neighborhood, hometown, or region
大到祖籍，或者曾經居住地相同的女生，小到周圍女鄰居，都能被列爲稱作home girl。

【11】口語詞彙：candid
candid 快照，抓拍照
不同於專業社攝影，candid並不注重攝影中至關重要的光線、景深等技術質量，往往是趁人不備之時按下的快門。在好萊塢娛樂圈，candid也是個常見詞，多表示明星日常生活，而非正式場合被拍下的生活照。

【12】俚語講解：got your back
got your back用於向別人表示幫着對方密切留意情況，有點像我們漢語裏“我罩着你”的意思。
如果感到有危險的話，會很小心地經常往後看，而如果有人幫你罩着你身後，那你就可以大膽放心地只管前面了。got your back就是這麼來的。
