上期提到了一个短语：a wad of hair。
对我来说，英语中的量词也是一个难点。比如说这个wad，我就是第一次听到。
Bob给我举例还有哪些时候会用到wad：
A wad of chewing gum 一团口香糖
A wad of paper 一团纸
养猫之前，我跟家里那两位郑重声明：
I don’t like cats.
在寄养中心，我从来不去抱猫咪，每次探视结束我都要用消毒液使劲搓手。
结果，Fiona来到我家一周后，各种撒娇，黏人，慢慢地，我也开始经常抱抱她，逗她玩。
Bob看到了，说：
Fiona is growing on you.
从字面理解，是说小猫长在我身上了。
那么something grows on somebody这个短语到底是什么意思呢？
我们来听一听Bob和Rosy的对话吧。
Bob: Rosy,Fiona is really growing on mom.
Rosy: What does“growing on mom” mean?
Bob: At first your Mom didn't like cats but now she pets Fiona all the time. She says good morning to her every morning and she says good night to her every night. Fiona has converted your mother into a cat lover.
Convert是转化，转变的意思。
something/somebody grows on somebody的意思是“越来越喜欢某样东西或某个人”。
比如说，
In the beginning I didn’t like cooking, but it grows on me in time.
我起初并不喜欢做饭，但是随着时间的推移我逐渐爱上了做饭。
In the beginning I didn’t like Bob, but he grows on me in time.
