【重点讲解】

1. As far as Ricky and the whole rest of the world is concerned, that's my baby and that you're my wife.

as far as…be concerned 就什么而言，非常常用又不太好用的固定搭配。
that’s my baby and that you’re my wife 这是一个由that is引导的有两个表语的主系表结构的句子。第二个that 引导的从句只是作为主语that 和系动词is 的表语。

2. I deserve that fake smile.

又出现了deserve。如果有人对你假笑以示轻蔑，这句话是很好的自嘲用语。

3. I... I don't understand the rules. I don't understand why they have rules. I don't understand why guys put on a bunch of pads and smack into each other just to get a ball around a field.

不喜欢足球的人可能会有此同感

a bunch of pads 一堆衬垫。A bunch of 很常用，例如a bunch of friends

4. Look, you know how you always wanna be treated older? Like an adult? Well, now... now's a good time to grow up a little bit and realize that things don't always work out like you want them to.

work out可以解决

这句话作为面临婚姻问题的父亲对女儿的安慰，是很意味深长的。

5. Everyone has their ownversions of the truth..
Still, there's only one truth, and no matter what story you tell.

第二句话很符合基督教徒的思想，他们认为，世界上的真理就记载于圣经之中，四海皆准，亘古不变，真理只有一个，理解角度的偏差，无法否定真理的唯一性。

6. it's a valid choice considering her age and the father.

valid有效地，有确实根据的。
considering 引导伴随状况状语，表示考虑到什么，很常用。

7. Divorce, abortion. What's next? this is not what I wanted my high-school experience to be.

父母离异，堕胎，接下来会是什么？这不是我想要的高中生活的体验。

8. Just stared at the moon. Seemed like the perfect place to run away to, place where I could eat freeze-dried ice cream and drink Tang. Bounce around all day.There was no place on earth far enough away from whatever was bothering me.

这是自述自己盯着月亮看的时候的心理活动。省略的主语很多，比如I just stared/ it seemed like等，两个place 是排比修辞, 不是省略。这段话可以用于散文的写作中。
