    【Note】
    1. go through 这个词组有很多意思,今天我们来了解其中的几种:
    a) To examine carefully 仔细查看,审查(对话中就是这个意思~)
    eg: go through the students' papers 检查学生的试卷
    b) To experience; to suffer 经历,遭受
    eg: go through many wars 经历很多战争 go through tremendous pain 遭受巨大痛苦
    c) To be approved or accepted 被通过,被接受
    eg: The amendment went through. 修订案被通过了。
    d) To consume; exhaust 用完,耗尽
    eg: We went through our supplies in a day. 我们一天就把供给品用完了。
    2. 对话中的 due 的意思是“预定,约定,预期”,相当于 scheduled, arranged, expected 等,常用“be due to + 动词”的形式。
    而我们知道due还有个介词短语叫due to,它的后面是接名词或代词,表示“应归于,应属于,应给予”,相当于 caused by sb/sth 或者 because of sb/sth。例如:
    Her absence is due to illness. 她因病缺席。
    The game has been cancelled due to frost. 比赛因雾而取消。
    3. count 是个很好用的单词,除了有我们熟知的“数数”的意思外,它还能表达 (sth) be of value or importance “某样东西有价值,有重要性”。例如:
    Her opinion counts because of her experience. 因为她有经验,所以她的意见很重要。
    We've only a few bullets left, so make each one count. 我们只剩几颗子弹了,因此要弹不虚发。(此句中的 make each one count 就是指 use it effectively)
