那天带上两个便当去Cathy家聊天,回来后问她饭菜好不好吃,她说很美味,她先生和女儿wolfed it down.
wolf something down - to eat something very rapidly and in very large pieces (as a wolf might eat.) 狼吞虎咽地吃东西。除了“虎咽”,这里几乎是直译了。

Maybe I am not cut out to be a musician. 也许我天生不是做音乐家的料。
Maybe I am not cut out for college. 也许我天生不适合上大学。

高消费人群
有个升学顾问对一个高中生说:"Students of your caliber should be able to get into many top universities." 像你这么优秀的学生能进很多顶尖的大学。
caliber: level of excellence, skill, etc. 枪的口径,也指人的能力水平或优秀的程度。
“高消费人群” 英文怎么说?
今天,在报上看到又一篇有关这里高档购物中心, 如 South Coast Plaza 和 Beverly Center 的消息,讲述他们如何想方设法吸引国内有钱人来购物,这些消费力很强的顾客被他们称为“high-caliber customers."
