第250句:
Half the people I've told this episode to now want to turn me in for child abuse.
现在,有一半听过我讲这件事的人想控告我虐待儿童。
六级词汇讲解:
该句的主干是Half the people... want to tum me in... for child abuse作原因状语;I've told this episode to为省略了that的定语从句,修饰half the people。episode意为“(整个事情中的)一个事件;(文艺作品中的)插曲;(连载小说中的)一节”。abuse意为“虐待,伤害;滥用;辱骂”。
turn sb.in在句中意为“告发、控告某人”。
六级考点归纳:
短语turn in还有如下含义:

The baby girl's feet turn in as she walks.
这个小女孩走路内八字。
“上交;交还;上缴”。如:
