DIALOGUE 74:Phoning a Friend

1--Hello, three-five...

2--Is that Jill?

1--Speaking.

2--Jill, this is Sam. Look Jill. I want to see you

again. How about a drink tonight?

1--I'm sorry. I'm very tired. I'm going to bed early.

2--What about tomorrow evening?

1--No, I'm sorry. I'm going to meet some friends

tomorrow evening. And I'm in hurry now.

Goodbye.

2--But Jill...

===================================

注解：

1）Speaking=This is Jill speaking.相當(dāng)漢語(yǔ)中說(shuō)“我

2）How about a drink tonight? How about...?多用于

征詢對(duì)方意見(jiàn)，與下文What about...?同義。a drink通常

指出去喝咖啡，吃小吃等。

3）be in a hurry：匆忙；有急事要辦。

===================================

2--吉爾，我是薩姆。喂，吉爾，我想再見(jiàn)一見(jiàn)你。今

天晚上一起去喝咖啡怎么樣？

1--對(duì)不起。我很累。我要早點(diǎn)睡。

2--明天晚上行不行？

1--也不行，很抱歉。明天晚上我要去看望一些朋友，

現(xiàn)在我有急事，再見(jiàn)...

2--但是吉爾......
