語言詳解

A: What would you do if Matt Daemon asked you out?

夢特戴蒙約你出去的話，你會怎樣?

B: I can’t even imagine that he would talk to me...

我連他會跟我說話都無法想象了……

【On the phone 在電話上】

與phone搭配的動詞包括answer, speak on ,talk on。要注意phone之前要有定冠詞the。“接聽電話”是answer the phone，絕不可誤用receive, speak/talk on the phone是“在電話中講話”。而“你的電話”在英文里絕非your telephone，應說It’s for you或You are wanted on the phone。

A: Janet, you are wanted on the phone.

珍妮特，你的電話。

B: I’m sorry. I Just can’t answer the phone right now.

抱歉，我現在沒有空接電話。

1) imagine (v.) 想像

2) awkward (a.) 感到尷尬的,令人尷尬的
