释义 | As to the word “bunch”, we usually think the phrase “a bunch of” that shows a number of things of the same type fastened or closely grouped together. But in this sentence, it is evident that “bunch” means a group of people like using the word “crowd”. We can compare the following sentences: she goes about with a friendly crowd. Your friends are a nice bunch. Obviously, they are the same pattern. In the part nine, it mentions the behavior of competitive showoffs. There is an interesting word “outshine”. As everyone knows, “shine” represents bright or dazzling. So “outshine” is easy to be think(thought) as “excessive shine”. It vividly describes the showoffs’ psychology. Another word Such as reside, also for fun. Why the author doesn’t replace “reside” with “have”? To my mind, there are two reasons. First of all, from our feeling, the former is better latter because “have” sounds too common. Second, to a degree, “reside” expresses more the state of competitive showoffs. |
