注解
这篇essay还没开始写 但先把我在看书的时候整理的注解发上来 如果刚开始读，一定要坚持下去 这些WORDS-SWITCH都是作者玩的小把戏
推荐www.annotated-oscar-wao.com
这个网站是一个美国读者为oscar做的注解。我在看到第三章的时候才知道它。所以前两章的注解有很多重合的地方，（一般释义来自wikipedia和urbandict）从第三章以后网站上有的我就不再赘述，只有网站未提到的词汇&典故（it's alot!) 供参考。
另，这份注解很简陋 没有页码 请查询的时候按下ctrl+f定位你想要的词汇。

Ramón Emeterio Betances y Alacán (April 8, 1827 – September 16, 1898) was a Puerto Rican nationalist. He was the primary instigator of the Grito de Lares revolution, and as such, is considered to be the father of the Puerto Rican independence movement. Since the Grito galvanized a burgeoning nationalist movement among Puerto Ricans, Betances is also considered "El Padre de la Patria" (Father of the Puerto Rican Nation). Because of his many donations and help to people in need, he also became known as "The Father of the Poor."

hook, line and sinker。 Sinker这里是指钓鱼的钓丝上铅做的坠子。它使钓丝深深下垂到水里。依此类推，hook一定是挂鱼饵的钩子，而line就是钓丝了。
这个习惯用语的出典是一条愚蠢上钩的鱼饿得吞吃鱼饵时把挂鱼饵的钩子、钓丝和坠子都一并吞进肚里了。这个习惯用语跟刚才学的习惯用语lock, stock and barrel意思相近，都解释“统统地、一古脑儿地，” 但是它们的用途不同。Hook, line and sinker特别用来指象鱼那样愿者上勾的受骗上当的傻瓜，听了骗人的假话全盘接受信以为真。
