B: Exactly. 甲：这孩子很聪明。 乙：一点不错。 3．形容词 1）It would be most disastrous if even a rumor of it were given. 甚至只要有一点点风声漏出去，结果就不堪设想。 2）The explanation is pretty thin. 这个解释是相当不充实的。 3）His refusal is not final. 他的拒绝不是不可改变的。 4．前置词 1）This problem is above me. 这问题我不懂。（或：我解决不了）。 2）It was beyond his power to sign such a contract. 他无权签订这种合同。 5．连接词 1）The guerrillas would fight to death before they surrendered. 游击队员宁愿战斗
