ditch一词本身是开凿沟渠的意思，这里用的是一个俚语的用法，表示“翘课”。
它还能表示摆脱什么人、离开什么地方。

yank是猛拽、硬拉的意思，yank out就是拉出去、拖去干嘛……
这句话非常口语：库伦夫妇俩会把他们拉去，远足啦，野营什么的。最后的那个and stuff在口语里很常用。

【42】口语词组：I tried that out on my parents. Not even close.
Not even close也在口语中很常见，表示答案相差甚远，或者起效甚微，都能用这个说法。
这里是说我也想说服我父母让我翘课出去玩，他们听都不听的。

take control的意思很明确，表示掌握了控制权，采取了主动的意思。

【45】俚语解析：all the good dresses get cleaned out.
clean out有多重的意思，这里指短时间内被抢购一空。
它还能表示清场、彻底清洁干净的意思。
