原文译文：

四级词汇讲解：
本句的主干是Tiffany says，其余的部分皆为直接引语。not realizing it was cultural为第一部分直接引语的伴随状语;第二部分直接引语中but连接并列的谓语部分，but前后的谓语动词相同却采用了不同的时态，用以突出过去和将来的对比概念。
throw sb. off的意思是“摆脱某人”。如：
She threw off one of her pursuers. 她甩掉了其中一个追求者。
miss out的意思是“失去(获得利益或获得乐趣的机会)”。如：
If I don't go to the party, I shall feel I'm missing out. 我要是不去参加聚会，就会觉得损失很大。
