Harry 和Susan 聊到了半夜。Harry 起身告辞。在Harry 离开前，Susan 给
出了希望进一步交往下去的暗示。Harry 在离开时撞倒了Susan 放在门外的雨伞
架。

    Harry ： Ooh， speaking of keeping busy -I have an early start tomorrow，
and the baby-sitter has to get home. Where did the time go？ It's midnight.
Thank you ，Susan. I had a nice evening. Susan： Me too ， Harry. Harry？

    Harry ： Yes？

    Susan ： I'd like to meet your daughter someday. Harry： Does that
mean that I can see you again ？

    Susan ： Of course. Harry ： Wonderful. I'll call you ， and we'll
go out to dinner. Susan ： Please do. Harry ： I promise I won't leave
early. Susan： It was for a good reason. Harry： You know something ？

    Susan ： What ？

    Harry ： I think we're going to be good friends. Good night ， Susan.
Susan ： Good night ， Harry. Have a safe trip home.

    Susan ： Are you all right？

    Harry ： Sorry. Susan ： I never liked that umbrella stand. Good night，
Harry.

    「语言点精讲」

    1. Ooh， speaking of keeping busy ……

    speaking of ，提到。用以转换话题的惯用语。

    2. Where did the time go？

    时间到哪里去了？时间过得真快。

    3. Does that mean that I can see you again？

    这是不是说我以后可以再见到你？

    "Does that mean that……？" （这是不是不说……？这是不是意味着……？）

    用来向别人确认一件事或者一种说法。

    4. You know something ？

    这是一种引起话题的说法。意思为“你知道吗？我想告诉你一件事。”

    这句话是"Do you know something？" 的口语形式。

    5. I think we're going to be good friends. be going to do ，将会，
表示比较短时期内的未来可以推定会发生的事或预订要做的事。

    注意Harry 的发的是它的口语音：gonna

    6. I never liked that umbrella stand. 我一直不大喜欢那个伞架。

    如果有人不小心碰倒或摔坏了我们的东西，我们常讲： "I never liked it."
或 "I never liked it anyway." ，为的是让对方不感到太尴尬。如果客人吃饭
时摔了盘子，我们可以说： "I never liked that dish anyway." umbrella stand
：伞架。
