3.詳細解說
1.“keep/stay in touch(with sb.)”意思是“（與某人）保持聯絡”；而“與某人失去聯絡”可以說“lose touch with sb.”。例如： I lost touch with Julie after we moved.（我們搬家以後
就與朱莉失去聯繫了。）另外，“be/keep/stay in touch (with sth.)”則表示“掌握（某事物的）最新信息，知道（某事物的）最新情況”。例如：A regular newsletter
keeps people in touch with local events.（定期的時事通訊讓人們能夠掌握當地大事的最新動態。）The speech was good and you felt he was in touch with people's needs.（發言很不錯，
你會覺得他很瞭解人們的需求。）
2.“guess”在這裏不是“猜測”的意思，而是“認爲，想”的意思。
3.“into”在這裏的意思是“對…有興趣，熱衰於，對…入迷”。
4.文化洗禮
英文網絡縮略語主要構成規則
上網瀏覽英文網頁、用英文聊天經常會看到或用到英文網絡縮略語。那麼這些縮略語是按照什麼規則形成的呢？
1．利用首字母創造縮略語。比如“BTW”代表“by the way”。
2．利用同音的短單詞或字母代替長單詞創造縮略語。比如用“C”代表“see”、“U”代表“you”，那麼“see you”就簡化成了“CU”。
3．充分利用發音規則創造縮略語。比如“ICQ”代表“I Seek You”。
