I also need to brush up on my mathematics, but I can't figure out the meanings of some of those strange-looking signs.” Pedro说：“我也一样。目前我在写科学课的论文，我把第一稿给撕了，因为写得太差了。现在我有一些新的想法，我已经跟我的朋友Maria讨论了一下，周一我就得交了；我还得复习数学， 但是我搞不懂一些长得奇奇怪怪的符号的意思。” try… out on …: get (someone else’s) opinion of 征求别人的意见。 brush up on … : study again, review, refresh one’s memory about 复习 figure out: find (an answer or a solution) , decide, learn , understand 弄清楚，搞懂，理解，学会 6）”I know what you mean,' Dave told him. “I don't know what some of the signs stand for, either.” Dave 告诉他：“我懂你的意思，我也不懂有些符号代表着什么。” 7）“I need to make up a test,' Tom said.“I missed it when I was sick.

I should put together a list, too, but it would be too long. I would just give up.” Dave笑着说：“汤姆，你做事太有条理啦，你总是把所有事情都做好计划。我也应该列个单子，但是这单子会很长，我会知难而退的。” 9）”I sometimes want to give up, too,' said Tom, 'but then I think that I'll pull through somehow. Studying so much is hard, but usually we get alongrather well.
