1. i couldn't care less.
这句话的意思是「我不在乎」，「缺乏兴趣」（lack of interest），也就是：i don't care at all. 或 i don't give a hoot.
例如：
人家如果问： what do you think of the budget-cut?（你对预算削减有何看法？）
你回答： i couldn't care less.（我毫不在乎）
至于 i couldn't care more. 就是「我很在乎」（i care a lot.）或 i care deeply. 同理：
i couldn't agree more.=i totally agree.（我完全同意）
2. no bones about it.
意思是：真实的，诚恳的（truly, sincerely or exactly），也就是 to make no bones about it.（bone 要加 s, it 是指 something）例如：
his wife is beautiful;no bones about it.（他的太太真是很漂亮）
3. take it on me！
意思是：「这是我的，请用吧！」「这是免费的」(help yourself to it; it is free)，这多半是指吃的东西或一些不贵重的东西。例如：
here are some candies from england; take one on me. (这是来自英国的糖果，尝一个吧！) one = candy)
可见 take 后面的 it，是指 something，而 on 的后面通常不指别人，所以多半也只用在第一人称单数 me。
假如夫妇在一起，也可以说：take it on us.)
4. i am from missouri.
这句话有时后面要加一句：「i need to be shown.」或「you h**e got to show me.
」，意思是 missouri 州的人很固执 (stubborn)，不太信任别人，一定要人家「证明一下」(prove it to me)，所以密苏里州也被称为「the show me state」。
据说这句话所以流行 (尤其在美国中西部) 是因为美国一些名人都住过密苏里州，包括 harry truman, mark twain, walt disney 等。后来老外不轻易相信别人时，就使用这句话。(也有半开玩笑性质) 例如：
he is not easily convinced because he is from missouri. (他是来自密苏里州，所以不容易说服他。)
don't try to fool me; i am from missouri.(you h**e got to show me.) 别愚弄我，我是来自密苏里州。)
