either/ˈaɪðə(r)/ /ˈiːðə(r)/

词汇讲解
1.go south on sb./sth. expression3. 情况糟糕/对着干
英语中很多常用词汇的意义随着时代的变迁不断地发生着变化,go south就是其中一例。
看到It's gone south,你可能会脱口而出是“去南方啊”!但是实际上很多情况下已经没有以上的意思了,而是变为了“情况越来越糟糕”的意思。
下面我们来看一个句子:Ice cream4 sales5 go south since6 it is nearly7 winter.(这里是指销量下降)。
当我们使用to go south/to head south的比喻义时,其表达的意思是"下降,变坏;数量、质量或价值的减少"。这里值得注意的是,我们要将to go south与to go to the south/to go down to the south区分开来

2.either or
用于连接两个表示选择关系的名词或代词,意为“要么……要么”。如: 
He must be either mad8 or drunk9.
他不是疯了就是醉了。 
You can go swimming or play tennis.
你可以去游泳也可以去打网球。
就近原则:
Either you or I am wrong.
不是你错了就是我错了。
3.get to do
get to do往往暗示一个较长的过程,含有“渐渐开始”之意,
I really wanted to get to know America. 我真想逐渐了解美国。
He is getting to be a lovely kid10. 他慢慢变成一个可爱的孩子了。
