起了与自己的妻子还有约定，于是与Alexandra 匆匆告辞，下船离开。这时Alexandra
发现他忘了拿一个挎包。她拿起它，赶紧追他……

Greece. But now I'm living in the Bronx. Richard： With a Greek-American
family？

    Alexandra ： No. Hispanic. Richard： Oh no！ It's five thirty. Will
you excuse me ？ I have to meet my wife. Alexandra： It was nice meeting
you. Richard： It was a pleasure meeting you， too. Thanks for your help.

name？

    Alexandra ： Alexandra. Richard ： Bye-bye， Alexandra.Thanks. Alexandra
： Bye-bye. Richard ！ Richard！ You left your bag.

    3. Hispanic 意思是西班牙语系的，西班牙的。Alexandra 和一个讲西班牙

认识你。与新朋友第一次见面时可用此用语告别。

    5. I've got to go.这句表达的意思是“我必须得走了”，与 I must go，
