For Special Attention

dry off = use dry off only if the water stays on top of the thing that is wet. You don't "dry off" your hair or a towel. You "dry" them or "dry them out." — dry off 只用于水停留在湿物表面的情况。你不说 dry off your hair 或 a towel,而说 dry 或 dry them out。
pull shut / the rest = pull something shut = pull it until it is shut. Take some students out of your classroom. The others (those still in the room) are the rest of the class. — 把东西拉到关上。把一些学生带出教室,其余仍在教室里的人就是 the rest of the class(班上其余的人)。
turn on / turn off = after you turn something on, it runs or works. After you turn it off, it stops. — turn on(打开)之后东西就运转;turn off(关掉)之后它就停止。
deodorant = something that takes away bad smells — 用来去除难闻气味的东西。
