一、邊聽邊學 Listen and Learn
a tall order 困難的任務
tall tale 夸張，荒誕的故事
out of the question 不可能
out of question 毫無疑問
physical therapy 物理治療法，理療
back in the saddle 身體康復，重回正軌

二、邊聽邊說 Listen and Speak
A: have a camping trip scheduled for six weeks from now. Can't it be healed by then?
6周后我要去旅行，到那時能治好嗎？
B: That’s a tall order, Paul. But I suppose it's not out of the question. With a lot of rest now and intensive physical therapy, you just may be back in the saddle again in six weeks. But the therapy requires a lot of work and time, and specifically, following the doctor's orders. Can you handle that?
很難，但是我想這也不是不可能。多休息，再加上理療，你6周內可能就會恢復的。但是理療需要很多精力和時間…具體要遵守醫生的吩咐，你能做到嗎？
A: Piece of cake!
小菜一碟！
