1. To be honest with you, my message didn't seem to be getting through to Rowley.
*get the message: (informal) to understand what someone means or what they want you to do.
OK. I get the message- I am going!
My sentence:
I think he never gets my message through because he never does what I have told him.
2. I knew it was just a matter of time before I got busted for what happened last week.
*bust somebody for something: if the police bust someone, they charge them with a crime.
Davis was busted for drugs.
My sentence:
The neighborhood thought he was a friendly and polite man but was astonished that he was busted for rape.
3. Later on today, Rowley got reinstated as a Patrol.
*reinstate: if someone is reinstated, they are officially given back their job after it was taken away. 自己的工作岗位，失而复得。
My sentence:
General Jack got reinstated after he was proven innocent.
4. Every morning, I go to the back door of the cafeteria so Rowley can hook me up.
* hook somebody up with something = fix up with: to help someone get something that they need or want. 帮助别人得到他们想要的东西
Do you think you can hook me up with some tickets for tonight?
My sentence:
I heard that you are in charge of the sale of tickets. So can you hook me up with some?
5. After dinner tonight, I saw Rowley and Collin walking up the hill together, chumming it up.
*chum up= pal up : become friends, act friendly towards. 这个词组除了说明两人成为朋友，还有一点就是友好地对待彼此。
My sentence:
After seeing Rose's speech at the contest, I have been wanting to chum up with her. So I made contact with her classmates or roommates to send my wish.
#记例句
1. Then he told me I was relieved of my Safety Patrol duties "effective immediately."
relieve somebody of their post/ duties/ command etc (formal): to take away someone's job because they have done something wrong. 因为某人做了错事而罢免他的职位等。这个用法在很多美剧的电影中都会出现。所以造句也想到今天看到的《加勒比海盗》
Will was relieved of his post due to his connection to Captain Jack Sparrow.
2. I can't believe Rowley went and backstabbed me like that.
backstab的解释是“the act of secretly doing bad things to someone else, especially saying bad things about them, in order to gain an advantage for yourself.” 这个词的意象经常看到，就是“为了一己之私，而打小报告” 这里这么用，也有点小孩子气了。
When I was in 4th grade in elementary school, I can not understand why some classmates backstabbed others for teachers' praise.
3. I thought about really letting Rowley have it for ratting me out like that, but then I realized something.
rat somebody out 是美式英语，同时也是一个非正式用语。这本小书是目前我看到的学习和了解美国习惯用语的精品之作。书里的很多表达在看美剧时都用的上。这个词组的意思是“ if someone rats you out, they are disloyal to you, especially by telling someone in authority about something wrong that you have done." 这个词组和第二个词组在意思上比较接近了。
Ratting out your teammates is one of the most disgusting and unbearable thing.

The joy to play with a kid.
My nephew was born in March 5th, 2015. That time was on the Lantern Festive, January 15th in the Chinese Lunar Calendar. He was the fifth family member in both father's and mother's family. In Chinese culture, people think "5" is the symbol of whole. He was born to be connected to five.
He is now three years old and can walk steadily to anywhere he likes. Stepping up stairs was a piece of cake for him. When he knows that I am in the study in the second floor, he will step up the stairs and knock the door and then call me"Yi , Yi". He can not call me clearly and like to say one word to express himself. He dislikes to be alone and asks us to play with him, even in his TV time.
Once seeing his smile face or listening to his unclear words, I will laugh from the bottom of my heart. He is innocent and pure. I do hope he will keep in this condition to be happy and pure.
