4. Get credit for
意思是Receive acknowledgment or praise for some accomplishment，例如：Bill got all the credit for attracting a big audience. 同樣的，我們可以推測出give credit for 意思就是“贊揚，感謝”，例如：We should give the pianist credit for her work in the program.
5. feel up
這是一個很粗俗的俚語，意思是“To touch or fondle (someone) sexually，挑逗，調情：帶有性欲地觸摸或撫摸（某人）”。例如：I can't believe that your husband tried to feel me up at the party!
6. Grope
本意是“（在黑暗中）摸索”，這里作為一個俚語，意思是“to touch or handle (someone) for sexual pleasure”，例如：He made some sexual advances at the woman in his office and groped her repeatedly.

Buster Brown
Buster Brown is a comic strip character created in 1902 by Richard Felton Outcault which is known for his association with the Brown Shoe Company. (The name "Buster" came either directly or indirectly from the popularity of Buster Keaton, then a child-star of vaudeville.) This mischievous young boy was loosely based on a boy near Outcault's home in Flushing, New York. Buster Brown, his sister Mary Jane, and his dog Tige were well known to the American public in the early 20th century. Tige is thought to be the first talking pet to appear in American comics, and, like that of many of his successors, his speech goes unnoticed by adults.
The comic strip began in the New York Herald on May 4, 1902. Outcault left for William Randolph Hearst's employ in 1906, and after a court battle, Outcault continued his strip, now nameless, in Hearst papers, while the Herald continued their own version of Buster Brown with other artists. The latter lasted until 1911 or so, and the former until at least 1921.
A series of live-action short subjects were produced in the mid-to-late 1920s by the Stern Bros. Pete the Pup (who played Tige) and director Gus Meins were both later associated with the popular Our Gang (Little Rascals) comedies.
Buster Brown's association with shoes began with John Bush, a sales executive with the Brown Shoe Co. He persuaded his company to purchase rights to the Buster Brown name, and the brand was introduced to the public at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. The logo is still used on Brown shoes today.
Midgets were hired by the Brown Shoe Co. to play Buster in tours around the United States. These little people, who were each accompanied by a dog, performed in department stores, theaters, and shoe stores from 1904 until 1930.

我觀之我見
真不知道雄性動物到底是怎么進化的，似乎好色是男人的天性，也由此造成了許許多多的婚姻問題。在大自然中，很多動物種群是一夫多妻制，據說這種制度有利于該種群的生存與延續(xù)；也有很多種群是一夫一妻制，并且夫妻雙方都相當忠貞。當人類進入文明階段后，認為自己做事應該符合“文明人”的身份，于是建立了一夫一妻制的婚姻制度，歌頌忠貞的婚姻和愛情?？上У氖牵腥说倪M化似乎很成問題，時常退化到動物性的“不文明”階段，雖然我們建立了一套道德系統(tǒng)來拷問這等“丑聞”，但也沒有讓男人進化的更好一點。對于女人來說，只能是羨慕“比翼鳥”和“連理枝”了。
