a penny for your thoughts

　　This saying is used to ask somebody what he or she is thinking about.

　　下次大家想让对方打开话匣子，就这么问吧!

　　work my ass off = bust my butt

　　这两个跟“屁屁”有关的表达，都表示work really hard。举例：

　　When I get to work, I bust my butt. I have a lot to get done, there's no time to goof around.

　　get around to sth./doing sth.

　　腾出时间做某事(to find the time to do sth.)。例如：

　　I meant to do the ironing but I didn't get round to it.

　　I hope to get around to answering your letter next week.

　　start a family (= have children)

　　这里大家需要注意的是，它不是结婚成家这么简单，而是要开始生儿育女了哦!

　　最后还是那句话，记在本子上的知识不算掌握，用起来才是真本领呀!加油!
