顺便一提，剑15的听力配对题中也出现了该单词，一起看看原文~

B: caring
C: selfish
原题答案：C: Selfish. 当然这只是对独生子的一种刻板印象, 不可取！
Getaway n. /'getəweɪ/
Get away 短语大家都熟悉，是离开，逃离的意思。
e.g. The robbers got away from the police. 劫匪在警察的眼皮底下逃脱。
看看下面这句话呢？
e.g. I'm taking some time off because I really need to get away for a few days. 这里get away 特指外出度假，或者休假。
那么 getaway 作为名词就不难理解了，
It is a place where people go for a short vacation/ It is a short holiday somewhere. 可以说一个假日休闲地或者是一个短假。
比如：
Taihu Lake is a popular weekend getaway.
We have booked a romantic getaway to the seaside.

1. The butterfly emerged from the pupa(蛹).
补充短语：
