1.propose
建議；打算，計劃；求婚
例如：
We propose an early start tomorrow.
我們打算明天早早出發。
When I know, I will fly directly to her, and propose.
如果我知道的話，就可以直接向她飛去，向她求婚。
2.克拉 carat
克拉（Ct）是寶石的重是單位，現定1克拉等于0.2克或200毫克。一克拉又分為100分，如
50分鐘即0.5克拉。舊寶石書中一克拉約205.3毫克，如果換算成現定克拉，則一克拉要乘
1.0265，這里只是大致說，因為舊時各國或地區的克拉值不盡相同。
例如：
An anonymous bidder paid the record sum for the 14.23 carat diamond which was up for auction at Christie's in Hong Kong.
在香港佳士得舉行的拍賣中，一位匿名買家為這枚14.23克拉重的鉆石支付的金額創下紀錄高位。
3.More than he could afford
超出他的承受能力了
afford
給予，提供；買得起
"allow, deal, extend, deliver, tender"也可表示這個意思。
例如：
At that time only, not every day, if you can afford it.
只有在那個時刻，而非每天都如此，而且是在你能力所及之處。
It meant a great deal to him to have someone extend comfort and care at such a distressing time.
在這樣一個痛苦時刻有人給予他安慰和照顧，這對他很有意義。
It's hard to deliver, though, and harder still to know if we receive the truth in our most intimate exchanges.
然而，要給予這一切卻很難，要確定我們在最親密的交流中所獲知的事情是否屬實更難。
4.be engaged
從事；訂婚
例如：
You do not need to be running around, – you just need to be engaged, either physically or mentally.
你沒必要到處跑，你就是保持忙碌的狀態就行了，體力上的忙碌或是精神上的忙碌都行。
I will be engaged with my boyfriend next week in his hometown Nanjing, and come back around one week.
我下個星期要和我男朋友去他的老家南京訂婚，大約一個星期回來。
考考你：
翻譯：
1.我肯定超出他的承受能力了。
2.我有個很棒的結婚禮物。
上期答案：
1.Pitchy. It's not just code for someone you don't like.
2.But if your fortune's better than mine, I'm claiming it.
