a ten years old boy. 這裡years old是固定搭配，前面是ten，所以用複數。
a ten-year-old boy. 這裡ten-year-old是一個復合形容詞，中間有連詞符，所以year用單數。

[24. Beauty and the Beast] a two-penny nail
在成寒討論區內有網友提供了解釋
Nail如果是指釘木頭的釘子的話，依照大小不同可稱為 two-penny, four-penny, six-penny, eight-
penny nail 都用偶數，依此類推
(釘金屬或其他的釘子不算，通常直接說幾吋釘，如2" nails)
也可能會看到這種單位系統的簡寫d

Saint Nicholas vs. Santa Claus
Santa Claus 在不同國家都有不同的起源，帶禮物給小孩這個概念則是衍生自Saint Nicholas
Saint Nicholas 是一位於四世紀時出生在土耳其南方的主教
關於這個主教送禮物的故事在網路上可以找到，隨意翻譯了一下:
有一戶住在他教區的女孩非常貧困，她的家庭無法提供她出嫁的嫁妝
為了避免女孩因為這個原因而無法結婚，主教自己掏錢幫助她

[Take me out to the ball game] Cracker Jack
Cracker Jack is a U.S. brand of snack consisting of strong molasses-flavored popcorn and peanuts. Cracker Jack is also famous for its connection to baseball lore.
"Take Me Out to the Ball Game", the song written by lyricist Jack Norworth and set to music by Albert Von Tilzer gave Cracker Jack free publicity when it was released in 1908 with the line "buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack!"

Jack and Jill
- Jack and Jill went up the hill
- To fetch a pail of water.
- Jack fell down and broke his crown,
- And Jill came tumbling after.
- Then Up Jack got and home did trot,
- As fast as he could caper;
- He went to bed and plastered his head
- With vinegar and brown paper.
- Jill came in and she did grin
- To see his paper plaster;
- Mother vexed did whip her next
- For causing Jack's disaster.

Over The River And Through The Woods
Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother's house we go.
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow.
Over the river and through the woods,
