These words and phrases including "Remember Miranda" . It is in the liberally.
When I was looking up "Remember Miranda" on Longman English Dictionary Online and "英辞郎",there was a definition that I cannot understand well.

  1. Good! You wrote that there was a definition that you did not understand well. If you can write definitions like that in your blog, I may be able to help you with them.

    By the way, you wrote "同様" for the meaning of "upset." I think, however, that you meant to write "動揺."
