121. something is to pay
汉语的“有些不妙”或“有点不对头”的概念常可用something is to pay的句式来表示。这一短语常和feel或have a hunch that连用。
Bob: Didn't you see the writing on the wall?
Sue: I even didn't have the slightest hunch.
Bob: But you should be prepared for such an outcome.
Sue: I had too much confidence in him.
Bob: But he ruined your business.
Sue: Well, if I knew there would be something to pay, I wouldn't chalk it up to experience.
Bob: Well, you should chalk it up to experience.
Sue: You're right.
The manager had a hunch that something was to pay.
经理感到事情有些不妙。
122. chip in: chip in除了插嘴的意思之外，还有凑钱、捐款、赞助的意思。凑钱买什么东西，或者是凑钱付大家一起吃饭的钱。论坛上也有号召捐款的帖子，个人以为不如改为凑份儿更合适。
[eg1.]The guys and I usually each chip in a few dollars when we go out for pizza on Friday nights.
[eg2.]We all chipped in to buy Jennifer a going-away present.
大家都出钱买一个送别礼物给Jennifer.
[eg3.]We all chipped in.
[eg4.]I'm very sorry that I can only afford to chip in a few dollars this time.
很抱歉这次我只能捐助区区几块钱了。
Donate就显得正式多了，书面语中常见。

123. clock in 打卡= punch in= punch the clock 打卡

time recorder 打卡机
124. to punch out 同 "clock out (off)" 指下班打卡签退。反之为"punch in", "clock in (on)', 上班打卡签到。
在 辦 公 室 或 工 廠 里 面 我 們 經 常 能 看 到 名 詞 性 的 punch， 那 就 是 “ 打 孔 機 ” 或 “ 沖 床 ” ， 因 此 動 詞 punch還 可 以 解 釋 為 “ 打 孔 ” ， 比 如 很 多 公 司 都 會 實 行 打 卡 考 勤 制 度 ， 在 美 語 中 就 把 這 說 成 是 punch the clock， 例 ︰ Bob is glad to have a job where he doesn‘ t have to punch the clock.
[eg1]Celia : Shall I punch out for you, Rose? I'm leaving now.
