　　bitter在本课是“厉害的”，“怀恨的”的意思，这个词还作“苦味的”，“严酷的”，“强烈的”等等讲。

例如: bitter pills 苦药片； bitter memories辛酸的记忆； bitter winter严寒的冬天；

　　bitter argument激烈的争论。

　　2.desire:page 62,Line11

　　We desire to see the result. 我们希望看到结果。

　　I desire that you should come on time. 我希望你准时到。

　　He sat there, looking very calm. 他坐在那儿,看起来很平静。
