Larry 和一個朋友約好碰面,但眼看自己就要遲到了。他向李華借手機打電
話讓他朋友等一會兒。今天李華會學到兩個常用語:cell和the 411.
LL: Hey, Li Hua can I borrow your cell?
LH:你要借我的什么來著,cell?
LL: You know your cell. Your cell phone. LH:噢,原來cell就是cell
phone 手機的簡稱。你當然可以借用我的手機。拿去!
LL: Thanks. Having a cell is so convenient. I just need to give Rick
a call and let him know I am going to be late to meet him. LH :手機是
很方便。你看,你現(xiàn)在快要遲到了,有手機就可以打個電話告訴Rick,否則他會
以為你不來了呢!
LL:(Larry makes phone call) Hey, Rick , it's Larry. I'm running
a bit late. I'll meet you at the library in about half an hour. OK? See
you then, Bye! Thanks , Li Hua , here's your cell back. LH:你半小
時就能到圖書館見Rick?那你就快走吧!對了,Larry ,你不自己也有手機嗎?
LL: I am embarrassed to say my apartment is such a mess that I can't
find my cell. I am sure it is there somewhere under a pile of clothes.
LH:你找不到你的手機啦?沒錯,肯定是埋在那堆衣服里了。沒問題,今晚我給
你手機打個電話,你聽到鈴聲就知道手機在哪里了。
LL: Right, when my cell starts ringing, I'll be able to find it.
I'll just follow the sound of the ring. Good idea !
LH:好,那你把你手機的號碼給我,我輸入我的手機里,今晚就可以給你打
電話。
LL: Okay , it is 5-5-5-2-3-4-5. I already have your cell number
programmed into my phone, Li Hua. LH : Larry,我得用一下我的手機,Mary
給我留了話,不知道她找我做什么?
******
LL: So , what was the call about? Give me the 411. LH:你在說什
么奇怪的東西啊?什么是give me the 411 ?
LL: You know you dial 411 to reach the information operator, right?
Well, when I said to "give me the 411," I meant for you to give
me information just like the operator gives you the number you are looking
for. LH :對呀,要查電話號碼就打411 ,然后他們就會把你要的號碼告訴你。
所以,你說“give me the 411 ”,意思就是要我告訴你Mary打電話給我有什么
事。Mary是問我想不想?yún)⒓用魈焱砩显谒遗e行的讀書會。
由此看來咱們國家的一些電話跟國外都是反的,比如我們查號打114 ,美國
打411 ,我們報火警打119 ,美國是打911.不過美國的911 熱線比我們的范圍更
廣一點,撥打這個號碼還可以報案,有時候也可以做做數(shù)學題>>
LL: Hmmm ……I don't know Mary. What is the 411 on her ?
LH:噢,你要知道有關Mary的情況?Mary她人很好,也很用功。你想不想跟
我去參加明天的讀書會。這樣你就能見到Mary了!
LL: I'd really like to meet Mary , but I've been invited to a party
tomorrow evening. LH:你明晚要參加一個party ?什么party , give me the
411 ?
LL: One of the guys I work with - Fred - has been given a big promotion.
He has invited several of us from work to meet him at a pub to celebrate.
LH:噢,你的朋友被提升要請你們去慶祝。這個party 聽起來很棒耶!Larry ,
我能跟你一起去嗎?
LL: Sorry, Li Hua. According to the 411 I have, this is a co-workers
only event. Fred wants to express his thanks to the people that have helped
him at work. LH :哼,只有同事才能參加啊。好吧。對了,這個Fred是個什么
樣的人?What is the 411 on Fred ?
LL: He's a great guy. Oh , Li Hua , I've got to go ! I've got
to meet Rick at the library. I'll give you more 411 on Fred some other
time. LH:你下回可別忘了告訴我有關Fred的情況。
今天李華學到兩個常用語。第一個是cell,也就是cell phone手機的簡稱。
