* The Catcher in the Rye:
            - 曾經是禁書，但是這本書卻是最能傳達 teenager  心裡彷徨的例子

            - Author: J.D. Salinger; Finding Forester (心靈訪客) 是 Salinger 的寫照

- Initiation and Quest (Journey) = 要去尋求答案便展開了一段旅程，找到了答
            案就成長了 （從曾經很喜歡的一個老師 pg. 180 – 181 的 descriptions 就能知
            道他很喜愛那老師 à pg. 188 徹底對大人感到失望， “The mark of the
            immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the
            mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.” So go with the rules!
                        à pg. 8 “Life being a game and all. And how you should play it according
                        to the rules.”

- Climax = Pg. 191 “Then something happened.”
            - 大陸將這本書的書名翻譯成：「麥田守護者」，台灣則將這本書翻譯成：

「麥田捕手」，但是這本書有關於棒球手套的只有在 Chapter 5 提到。
            - Song of “Catcher in the Rye” = Coming through the Rye

* You are what you are: diction, pronunciation, manner = attitude (人家看得出有沒有教養)

* While writing an article, 刪節好 should look like “…” and not “……”

* Foul language: damn, Christ Sake, Jesus Christ, Oh My God, got on my nerves, what the hell… etc. (if you really want to use it use: oh gosh or oh my goodness) à “Stop swearing on the Lord’s name!”; “A power greater than any of us.”

* Ample: enough  

* 獨立宣言 “Life, liberty, pursue of happiness should not and could not be taken by others

* 亂世佳人  the last sentence of the book ended up with this sentence: “I don't give a damn.”
