My name is Mary Alice Young. When you read this morning's paper, you may come across an article about the unusual day I had last week. Normally, there is never anything newsworthy about my life. But that all changed last Thursday.
come across somebody/something: to meet, find, or discover someone or something by chance 无意中遇到、偶然遇到 剧中用了''come across''，表示“看报纸时无意中翻到、看到”。 例： I came across an old diary in her desk.（我在她抽屉里，无意中发现了一本旧年的日记。） As I was walking through the town, I came across a group of street performers.（我路过这个镇时，看到一些街头艺人。） I've never come across anyone quite like her before.（我以前从没遇到过像她这样的人。） We've come across a few problems that need resolving.（我们遇到一些需要去解决的问题。）
normally: usually 通常 备注：''normally''的近义词是''usually''。 例： The journey normally takes about two hours.（通常，去那里要花大约两小时。）
例： She said she was feeling fine, but in truth she was very ill.（她说自己没事，实际上却病得很厉害。） My body was discovered by my neighbor, Mrs. Martha Huber, who had been startled by a strange popping sound.
pop: v. to suddenly break open or come away from something often with a short, loud noise 例： We heard the sound of corks popping as the celebration began.（庆祝会开始，我们听到“嘭嘭”开酒瓶的声音。） She popped the cork on the champagne.（她嘭的一声打开香槟。） 1. Her curiosity aroused, Mrs. Huber tried to think of a reason for dropping in on me unannounced. drop: v. to make a brief social visit （短暂的）拜访 例： ''drop''常与''by/in/over''连用。 His sister dropped by unexpectedly.（他姐姐不请自来。） They dropped in for a chat.（他们过来聊了会儿天。） Drop over sometime!（有时间来玩！） Normally, I park behind the theater.（我通常把车停在剧场后面。） newsworthy: adj. important or interesting enough to be reported in newspapers, on the radio, or on television 有新闻价值的 例： newsworthy events（有报道价值的事件） 1. Of course, everything seemed quite normal at first. I made breakfast for my family. I performed my chores. I completed my projects. I ran my errands. errand: n. a short journey in order to do something for someone, for example delivering or collecting something for them 差事 例： She was always sending me on errands .（她老让我去跑腿。） He was sent out on an urgent errand.（他被派去处理一件急事了。） 另外，''errand''常跟''run''连用，这时''errand''常用复数。如： I seemed to spend my life running errands for people.（我好像永远都在给别人跑腿办事。） I have to run some errands for my mom this afternoon.（今天下午，我要帮我妈去办点事。） 备注：剧中的''run my errands''是从“跑腿办差事”引申为“去拿干洗的衣服”。 1. In truth, I spent the day as I spent every other day。 We were in the neighborhood and thought we would drop in on you.（我们家就在附近，想着我们可以来你家坐坐。） 补充： drop-in: adj. able to visit without an appointment, or visiting a place without an appointment 例： a drop-in restaurant（不用事先预约就可以就餐的餐馆） drop-in clients（没有事先预约就来的客户） unannounced: adv. happening without anyone expecting or knowing about it 备注：''unannounced''的同义词是''unexpectedly''。 例： We arrived unannounced.（我们不请自来了。）
