how the traffic is this time of year.

soony--You could if I needed something.

nothing to do.

soony--Don't worry.In a couple of days there'll be too

much to do.Then you'll want to be back in these

speaking and choosing his words that's unique.

guess it's what some people call "charisma".

He thanked her for a most enjoyable party./It's most

dangerous to drive drunk.

从句都是way的定语从句。第一个从句说:he has a certain

way of speaking and choosing his words。第二个从句说

his way is unique.unique:独特的;独一无二的。

3)go beyond speech:难于用语言表达。类似的短语有:beyond words/beyond expression/beyond description 4)charisma:超凡的魅力,神授的能力。
