2010-5-8 BBC中一句话：This emergency summit of Eurozoneleaders should be a formality. FORMALITY  在这里是什么意思呢？

Just ask the teacher, who just now recovered from the torn cartilage in her knee, courtesy of a second grader.
这里是不是暗示这位老师的膝盖是被她二年级的学生所弄伤的？

'We have students that don’t take the teachers seriously. They are sent on referrals to the office and sent back and it’s like a joke to them.'
这里sent on referrals to the office 的office是指学校的老师或者校长的办公室吗？还是另有所指？

Dallas morning news reports suspensions in Dallas schools have surged since the district ended paddling.
这里suspensions in Dallas schools have surged 是指禁止体罚之后，Dallas的学校都比较混乱的意思吗？

Now, if that doesn’t get grandma, maybe the starvation will or the nasty cockroaches.
这里starvation will是饿死的遗嘱的意思吗？

例行公事
仅在16个eurozone国家领导间召开,有别于一般的正式会议(27个EU国家领导的峰会)
后面也进一步阐述There will be no formal conclusions to the gathering that would only come in a full meeting of European Union leaders.

1. (by) courtesy of 承蒙……提供、赞助、允许使用等，此处是反语，“拜……所赐”。如果你管这个叫暗示的话……

2. 应当是。

3. suspension 是暂停，用在球员身上叫停赛，用在职员身上叫停职，用在学生身上我不知道叫什么，停学还是停课，反正就是，你这几天别来上学了

4. will 是动词。

Thanks a lot!

Now, if that doesn’t get grandma, maybe the starvation will or the nasty cockroaches.
如果will是动词，这里是不是省略了will (get grandma) or the nasty cockroaches.就是说不饿死grandma也有小强恶心死grandma？

You don’t have to be a long-time spread-head to love these guys either.

前面提到某乐队~~这里long-time spread-head 是指现场观看的话得长时间伸长脑袋的意思吧？

20 a : one who uses a drug ― often used in combination <pothead> b : a devoted enthusiast : AFICIONADO ― often used in combination <computerhead>
从上下文推断是那个乐队(Widespread Panic)的粉丝的意思

你查的是head的解释吧~~Widespread Panic的粉丝就叫spread-head，那别的**是不是就叫**-head呢？

1.Meanwhile, the European Union's cobbling the last ditch $960 billion safety net, comes in a hope of calming fears that the Greek financial crisis will spread to other countries that use the Euro currency. Lisa Bryant has details from Paris.

前面一段提到欧盟和国际货币基金提供1万亿资助Greece的债务危机，那么这里提到的the last ditch $960 billion是指的另外一笔吧？应该不是指前面的1 trillion吧？

2.
Oil prices gain more than three dollars at one point before easing back to gain of around one dollar fifty cents. That put the price of crude oil at a bit less than 75 dollars a barrel in New York trading.

这里at one point 是啥意思？听的时候，我以为是一点钟，于是写成1：00。后来看整理稿写的是one point，又以为是1%。但是再一听，觉得$75的1%那也不是$3哪？所以请高手confirm~~

incur是及物动词，你在google搜索栏输入 “expense in”，出来的结果是 expense incurred
