對話解析：
Sounds like it.
等于It sounds like it. 只是在美語中常常會有這類說法的某些動詞前省略掉it。
如：Look like it. 看起來是這樣。Seems like it. 似乎是這樣。
Absolutely.
就是“一定”“絕對”的意思。在回應別人的話語中用absolutely以表示我們的立場完全地肯定。如：
A : That idea is unique. 那個點子太獨特了。
B : Absolutely. 無可置疑地。
The only one who...
用來強調只有某人可以做某事。
如：He is the only person who uses that computer. 那臺電腦為他專用。
