tag, vet 認識的字,不知道的用法

以前常常都自以為認識了很多字,
現在的我卻覺得,最簡單的字,其實才是最難的字。
一段文章中,如果每個字都懂,組合起來後,卻不知道它在講什麼,這就是我們對個別的字不正確的了解。


tag----------illegally paint your name or sign on a wall, vehicle etc
A street artist famous for his red, white and blue Hope posters of President Barack Obama has been arrested on warrants accusing him of tagging property with graffiti, according to Boston police.
在政府的財產上亂塗鴉(如政府機關的wall)。

off-the-shelf---------already and available in shops(現成的)
Researchers David Hulton and Steve Muller showed at Black Hat in the U.S. last month how it was possible to break the encryption on a GSM call in about 30 minutes using relatively inexpensive off-the-shelf equipment and software tools.

vet ----------to check someone's past activities in order to make sure they are suitable for a particular job
And now they're planning to commercialize the technique, although Hulton said they will vet buyers.
過濾買家

be game for-----------willing to try something dangerous, new ,or difficult
Hulton and Muller were game for a challenge and wanted to do it more cheaply.
