Larry 和一个朋友约好碰面,但眼看自己就要迟到了。他向李华借手机打电
话让他朋友等一会儿。今天李华会学到两个常用语:cell和the 411.
LL: Hey, Li Hua can I borrow your cell?
LH:你要借我的什么来着,cell?
LL: You know your cell. Your cell phone. LH:噢,原来cell就是cell
phone 手机的简称。你当然可以借用我的手机。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 :手机是
很方便。你看,你现在快要迟到了,有手机就可以打个电话告诉Rick,否则他会
以为你不来了呢!
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
时就能到图书馆见Rick?那你就快走吧!对了,Larry ,你不自己也有手机吗?
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:你找不到你的手机啦?没错,肯定是埋在那堆衣服里了。没问题,今晚我给
你手机打个电话,你听到铃声就知道手机在哪里了。
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,那你把你手机的号码给我,我输入我的手机里,今晚就可以给你打
电话。
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,我得用一下我的手机,Mary
给我留了话,不知道她找我做什么?
******
LL: So , what was the call about? Give me the 411. LH:你在说什
么奇怪的东西啊?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 :对呀,要查电话号码就打411 ,然后他们就会把你要的号码告诉你。
所以,你说“give me the 411 ”,意思就是要我告诉你Mary打电话给我有什么
事。Mary是问我想不想参加明天晚上在她家举行的读书会。
由此看来咱们国家的一些电话跟国外都是反的,比如我们查号打114 ,美国
打411 ,我们报火警打119 ,美国是打911.不过美国的911 热线比我们的范围更
广一点,拨打这个号码还可以报案,有时候也可以做做数学题>>
LL: Hmmm ……I don't know Mary. What is the 411 on her ?
LH:噢,你要知道有关Mary的情况?Mary她人很好,也很用功。你想不想跟
我去参加明天的读书会。这样你就能见到Mary了!
LL: I'd really like to meet Mary , but I've been invited to a party
tomorrow evening. LH:你明晚要参加一个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,你的朋友被提升要请你们去庆祝。这个party 听起来很棒耶!Larry ,
我能跟你一起去吗?
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,只有同事才能参加啊。好吧。对了,这个Fred是个什么
样的人?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:你下回可别忘了告诉我有关Fred的情况。
今天李华学到两个常用语。第一个是cell,也就是cell phone手机的简称。
