2. stand out

stand out第一個(gè)意思是“顯眼,突出”,因?yàn)榉茽柺侨椅ㄒ灰粋€(gè)沒(méi)穿白褲子的人,所以這里克萊爾說(shuō)他stand out。這個(gè)短語(yǔ)還形容“出眾”。

We had?lots?of good?applicants?for the?job, but one?stood?out?from?the?rest.

Back in '68, when I was sweeping up hair in that barbershop, I had this mental picture of the family that, if I was lucky enough, one day I would end up with—perfect wife, perfect kids, guess that, I didn't get any of that, would up with this sorry bunch. And I'm thankful for that every day.
68年我在理發(fā)店掃頭發(fā)的時(shí)候,我曾幻想今后自己家庭的樣子,如果夠走運(yùn)的話,有一天我會(huì)坐擁完美的妻子,完美的孩子,結(jié)果呢,我沒(méi)那運(yùn)氣,最后撈到這么一群二貨,可我每天都對(duì)此充滿感激。

★end up with的意思是“以…而告終”。

start with the aim of doing harm to others only to end up with ruining oneself

★bunch可以表示“串;束;扎”,比如一束花就是a bunch of?flowers;可以形容“一幫人”,一幫笨蛋就是a bunch?of?jerks。
