13、eally means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault( 过错).

24、elay it as long as possible. That is, of course, the best way.” The manager nodded. He knew plenty about all that. “But I am so sorry for you, because, you see, that is not possible this time.” The manager had his doubts, but all he said was an inquiring(asking), “Oh?” “The other way,” continued Joh
