Good morning, my buddies. I'm Juliet. Nice to meet you through network. Hope we could sped a wonderful morning together.

【主題】
This morning, I'd like to share a way of saying"I'm waiting to hear what you say." As usual, let's get it from a dialogue.

A : I want to know why you were fighting. I'm listening.
B : Someone was bothering me so I hit him.

【答疑解惑】
It is "I'm listening." From it we can understand the speaker wants to know something. 這個短語有2個意思，一個就是字面意思：我正在聽著。另一個就是我們今天要講的意思：It means tell me about it now. As for “listening”, I would like to sent you two more short sentences which is relative with it. They are: Somebody is all ears for somebody. I'll bite. The first is similar to saying in Chinese：某人洗耳恭聽。The second means"I don't know so you can tell me." 意思是：我不知道，你說說看。

【吃透美語】

A : I want to know why you were fighting. I'm listening.
B : Someone was bothering me so I hit him.

I want to know why you were fighting.
【翻譯】我不知道你為何打架。
【關鍵詞】In this sentence "fight" means "to struggle physically with somebody". 母親要保護自己的孩子，那可是跟你拼命地。She'll fight like a tiger to protect her children. 為了保護她的孩子她兇得像只老虎。

2 Someone was bothering me, so I hit him.
【翻譯】有人找我麻煩，所以我打了他。
【關鍵詞】In this sentence "bother" means "cause somebody trouble". 給某人帶來麻煩。Here is a set phrase: bother somebody about(with) something. 因某事而打擾某人。有的人很會體貼人，不希望別人因自己的事兒而操心。 I don't want to bother her with my problem at the moment. 我不想此刻因我的個人問題而打擾她。"Hit" means"to bring your hand, or object against somebody or something". It's set phrase is :hit somebody or something with something. 有人給你帶來麻煩時，有時候你會教訓他一頓。He hit me on the head with her umbrella. 她用雨傘打了他的頭。注意在這打了某人的某人部位，結構式hit+人稱代詞+介詞+身體部位。例如這句是打了他的頭，不要說成是hit his head.這樣就是Chinglish了。

All right. Let's call it a day. May you have a nice day. Thank you for your listening. See you next time.
