今天我们来学习一个表达：liquor sb. up

“把某个人灌醉；让某个人喝醉”；

to get someone tipsy or drunk

eg: I hadn't intended to liquor us all up over dinner, but I had the wine there and thought I might as well open it all.

我原本没打算晚饭的时候把大家都灌醉，但是我那瓶红酒放在那，我就想还是把它开了算了。

eg: I could tell he was trying to liquor me up.

我能看的出来，他想把我灌醉。

eg: He liquored her up and tried to take her home with him.

他把她灌醉了，想把她带回家。

eg: They liquored up the out-of-town visitors.

他们把外地游客灌得酩酊大醉。

eg: I got liquored up on whiskey and started a fight.

我喝威士忌喝醉了，跟别人打了一架。

今天关键句中还有一个词，pitch，很多同学会看不懂这里pitch是一个什么用法。

talk or arguments used by a person trying to sell things or persuade people to do sth.

可以表示：“劝说某个人买某个东西的说辞；劝说某个人做某件事情的说辞”；

eg: an aggressive sales pitch

一份咄咄逼人的销售说辞

eg: Each company was given ten minutes to make its pitch.

每家公司都有十分钟去推销宣传。

而今天这个buy也并不是简简单单“购买”的意思，以前我们学过I don’t buy it. 我不买账。所以在今天这个关键句中，也有“买账”的含义。
