  短語:
  to squirrel something away的意思是把東西儲存或藏起來以備日后使用。
  例句:

  Just how much personal information are websites squirrelling away about us from our own computers?
  注意:
  短語weasel out的意思是逃避、推諉。若一個人weaselled out of something,意思就是說此人逃避責任。
  例句:
  Mary wanted a promotion but didn't want to work hard so she tried to weasel her way out of the most difficult tasks in the office.
  常識補充:
  People in Britain whose bird tables are a target for hungry squirrels are being encouraged to add a bit of spice to the meal. The UK's Royal Society for Protection of Birds said chilli powder is a safe and effective way to keep squirrels away from nuts and seeds, without harming garden birds.
  英國很多住戶院子里的鳥食臺成為了饑餓松鼠的目標,因此政府鼓勵住戶給鳥食里添加少量的調(diào)料。英國貝德福德郡皇家鳥類保護學會說辣椒粉可以使松鼠遠離各種堅果和果仁,這種方法既安全又有效而且對花園里的鳥類沒有任何傷害。
