discover v. 发现; 发觉
指偶然或经过努力发现原来客观存在但不为人所知的事物。

1492.

invent v. 发明
通过劳动运用聪明才智“发明/创造”出以前从未存在过的新事物。

5. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s
a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.”
a piece of cake和serves sb. right是英语中的两个习惯用语, 也可称作习语idiom(s)。同汉语中的成语类似, 习语是人们在长期的语言运用中约定俗成的一种固定表达方式, 其意思往往不是字面所表达的含义。
如: a piece of cake表示事情非常简单、易于解决, 相当于汉语的“小菜一碟; 小事一桩”; serves sb. right则相当于汉语说某人“活该”。

e.g. You can look up a new word / look a new word up in the dictionary.

look it up in the dictionary.
