Last time we learned "So, tell me(something).". 意思是：來吧，說說看。If we want to express "說說看這是怎么回事。". Then how should we put it. Alright, let's get the answer from the following dialogue.

It is "Tell me what happened.". This is a way of saying "I want to know something.". It means that the speaker want to know about some event. There is another sentence whose meaning is similar to it. That is "Tell me what that is about."

【小題大做——吃透美語】

在以前的好幾期中都提到了吃透美語。那究竟何謂吃透呢？小編在這幾年的教學中，很多專業研究生，通過專業八級，雅思和托福考試的英語專業學生都問到我一些問題，因此我認為是“二精讀”“一精聽”。這是我一貫以來的學習法和教學法，在這里和大家分享一下。
1 精讀，這個讀是指朗讀，要學會土生土長美國人的發音方式。
2 精讀，這個讀是閱讀。三個步驟：第一是每個句子中的關鍵詞，甚至是一些小詞都要弄清楚用法。第二是要注意分析句子成分，這在翻譯，寫作和口語上非常重要。
3 精聽，要聽出每個連讀，濁化音之類的語音方面的東西，語音學是我們聽力的敵人。

A : I went on a date with Alan last night.
B : Alan is handsome. Tell me what happened.
1 I went on a date with Alan last night.

【Key words and phrases】
1 go on a date 去約會 For example: Other people go on a date.有的人則赴約會。 go on a date with 去和某人幽會 For example: I could go on a date with you to go to see a movie like normal people我們可以像普通人一樣約會和看電影. 我們說到去約會，how should we put "有個約會"？Let's look at the sentence: He isn't coming, having a hot date with Lucy. 他不來了，因為他有個朝思暮想的約會。So ，it's : have a date (with somebody). A hot date means an exciting date.意思是：朝思幕想的約會。
As for date, we have another phrase which is "go out of date". 意思是過時。For example:A lot of new words go out of date very quickly.不少新詞很快就不通用了。 And another idiom which is "blind date"that means a meeting between two people who haven't meet each other before. 是指男女間的初次會面。And sometimes the meeting is arranged by their friend because they want them to develop their relationship. 有時也指有第三方安排的男女間的初次會面。For example: A friend convinces me to go on a blind date with a lady of his.我的一個朋友勸說我和他的一個女朋友進行約會。Here is phrase:go on a blind date with 和某人初次約會。We met on a blind date.我們是經介紹認識的。 Here is phrase: on a blind date 意思是：相親，通過介紹。A newspaper pal got him a blind date, choosing Alice because she was the only girl reporter shorter than he.一報社朋友給他介紹對象,選中的阿莉斯,因為她是惟一個子比他矮的女記者。Here's a phrase: get somebody a blind date 意思是：給某人介紹對象。In a word, date here refers to a romantic meeting. It means a meeting that you arranged with a boyfriend or a girl friend or with somebody who might become your boyfriend or girlfriend. 總而言之，date在這句話中指的是男女間的浪漫的約會，幽會。
【Translation】昨晚我和Alan約會去了。

2 Alan is handsome.
【Real Speech】
[.ælənis'hændsəm]
【Translation】Alan是個健美的女子。
【Key Words and Phrases 】handsome我們都知道是指男性英俊瀟灑，有魅力。It means good-looking. 而指的是女性是beautiful, pretty 等。For example: He was aptly described as "tall dark and handsome".他被恰如其分的描述為高大黝黑，相貌堂堂。但是在這句話中，指的卻是女性。If it's used to describe female. It means attractive with large strong feature rather than small delicate one. 意思是：健美的。
【Sentence pattens】S+tell me + N(賓語從句) 意思是：說說......。順便啰嗦一句：me 是間接賓語，名詞和賓語從句指直接賓語。

【小編的建議】
請大家根據下圖練習該對話的實際發音。我們聽不懂外國人說話和美國影視，一個是因為語速快，還有一個很大的因素是發音的連讀，濁化音等等。

A : I went on a date with Alan last night.
B : Alan is handsome. Tell me what happened.
