在今天的長城游中，大家盡管問我任何問題，不要拘束。

feel free是英語口語中一個常用表達(dá)。若有人讓你feel free to do something,就是讓你無需拘束，只管按照自己的意愿去做某事。

e.g. A: Can I use your bathroom?我可以用一下你的衛(wèi)生間嗎？

B: ?Yes, feel free.可以，請隨意。

2. As far as I know, there are no man-made objects as big as this.

據(jù)我所知，再沒有像它這樣大的人造物體了。

as far as I know 是一個固定的表達(dá)方式，還可以說so far as I know，意思是“據(jù)我所知”。

例如：As far as I know, Jack’s got twin sisters.

就我所知，杰克有一對孿生姐妹。

They’re not coming today, so far as I know.

他們今天不來了— 就我所知是這樣的。
