2004年,漫画家杰夫・金尼开始在一个名叫FunBrain的网站上一些关于淘气小孩的小故事漫画,并于2007年正式出版了《小屁孩日记》漫画,接着又出了多部该题材漫画,形成系列。好莱坞在2010年3月将《小屁孩日记》(2010)搬上银幕,在2011年3月25日献上该系列第二部。如果你看了太多充满英雄主义和暴力色彩的漫画改编的电影,那么《小屁孩日记2》(Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2:Rodrick Rules)这样另类的“漫画改编”电影或许能给你带来一股不一样的气息。

2. 关于lie的词义及用法
① lie 有“撒谎;躺;位于”之意。作“撒谎”之意时,可作动词和名词。如:

第一句中lie用作不及物动词,它的过去式和过去分词分别为lied,lied,现在分词为lying。第二句中lie用作名词。
② The city lies in the east of Jiangsu province. 这个城市位于江苏省东部。
The cat was lying fast asleep by the fire. 猫躺在炉火旁睡得很熟。
lie作“躺;位于”之意时是不及物动词,它的过去式和过去分词分别是lay, lain,现在分词是lying。
③ 注意lie作动词时和动词lay(产卵,下蛋;铺;放)的区别。lay的过去式及过去分词分别为laid,laid。如:
The boy lying on the ground lied to me that his cock had laid two eggs. 躺在地上的那个男孩向我撒谎他的公鸡下了两个蛋。
一定要注意lie作为“撒谎”之意和“躺,位于”之意时两者的过去式及过去分词的区别及和lay(产卵,下蛋;铺;放)的区别。

5. Listen! If you do anything that embarrasses me,anything, I will... 听好了!如果你做任何让我难堪的事,我将・・・・・・
此句是含有一个条件状语从句的主从复合句,但在从句里又含有一句定语从句that embarrasses me修饰前面的anything。另外需要注意的是当先行词是something,anything,nothing,everything,all,much,little等不定代词时,关系代词只能用that而不用which。如:
You should hand in all that you have. 你应该把你拥有的一切上交。
6. No matter what they ask you,no matter how they pressure you,deny!Deny!Deny!Even if they figure it out. 无论他们问你什么,无论他们怎么逼迫你,你要否认、否认再否认,即使他们发现了一切。

7. But more than any other,this one deserves to be read aloud. 但是这篇作文和别的作文不一样,值得大声朗读一下。
此句中含有词组deserve to be done, “值得被做;应该被做”,也可以用deserve doing表达同样的意思。如:
