A country maid was walking to the town to sell some milk，which she carried in a pitcher on her head. As she went along，she said to herself，"I have already fifty eggs at home; with the money which I get from my milk I will buy fifty more. These hundred eggs cannot fail to bring me at least eighty chickens. The chickens will be ready for market just when poultry is dearest，so that they will sell for a good sum. With the money I will get me a new gown and when I wear it at the fair the young fellows will want to dance with me，but I will turn from each with a toss of the head." As she said these words，she could not help giving her head a toss，when down fell pitcher, milk, eggs, poultry，gown，sweethearts, and all. Count not your chickens before they are hatched.

3·dearest dear的級 ，意為"最昂貴的"。
4·a toss of the head 搖頭
5.could not help giving her head a toss禁不住將頭搖，could not help后常跟動名詞，意為'禁不住，不禁"。
6·when down fell pitcher...and all為了生動，這個句子用了倒裝，正常詞序應(yīng)是when pitcher....fell down. when在此意為"這時"。
