【适用场合】
count on
1. be confident that you can depend on someone
依靠；指望；依赖
这个我们很久以前就在节目中学过了，比如：
eg: You can count on me.
你可以依赖我。我可以靠得住。

eg: You can always count on Michael in a crisis.
在危急关头你总能依靠迈克尔。

eg: I can count on my parents to help me.
我可以指望父母来帮我。


2. expect something to happen and make plans based on it
期望；指望；料想到，并依此做安排；

eg: I'm counting on the meeting ending on time, or I'll miss my bus.
我指望会议准时结束，否则我就要错过公车了。

eg: Sorry I'm late, I didn't count on being held up in the traffic.
对不起，我迟到了，我没想到路上会堵车。

eg: There's never a taxi when you want one - that's the one thing you can count on!
你需要出租车时它一辆都不来——事情总是这样！



claw本身指的是动物的爪子
the claws come out字面的意思是：
露出利爪
其实口语中有get (one's) claws out这样的用法，意思是：
become particularly aggressive, especially in preparation for a confrontation
变得很具有攻击性，感觉随时要出手；
动词换成have一样的意思；

但这个表达通常用于描述女性。
还蛮符合编剧给Phil在剧中的定位的。而且细心的同学会发现剧中下一幕镜头很快给到了Phil的指甲上，很有意思。

eg: I hate my neighbor's cat, it always gets its claws out when I go near it.
我讨厌邻居的猫，当我走近它时，它总是把爪子伸出来，一副要攻击我的样子。


eg: Jenny had her claws out after she found out Mary had been spreading rumors about her in school.
Jenny发现Mary在学校散布关于她的谣言后，就大发雷霆。
