tips：

①We couldn’t ask for a better day, could we? 这是一个反义疑问句，“没有比这更好的天气了，不是吗？”。

②I heard he is calling for rain all weekend. “我听说一整个周末都要下雨。”句中的he指的是the weather，这里用了拟人化的手法。

③I'm sure you make good money with that diamond watch you have on. “我相信你肯定用你这块金刚钻赚了不少钱”。这里用了比喻的手法，diamond watch并不是指“钻石手表”，而应该是我们常说的“金刚钻”，即“某种专业的技能”。

④cast vote for “为……投票”。

⑤I'll use this time to catch up on my reading. “我要用这段时间补上我的阅读”，catch up on“补上”。You should get out your English books and catch up on your reading assignments.

（你该去把英文课本拿出来，补上你的阅读作业。）
