华尔街高级英语 Lesson 58
David isn’t there another way of saying it “I speak English very well?”
Yeah, there are several other ways of saying it, Marie-France .
Anybody?
Yeah, I speak English perfectly.
Great, Stig. Anyone else. The word begins with “f”.
I speak English fantastically.
No, Poulo. We can’t say that.
Why not? I just said it.
Come on, Somebody…
Fluently.
Well done, Hans-Detrich.
I just looked the word up in my dictionary. To give an example, “I speak fluently English.” No, Hans-Detrich, “ I speak English fluently.”
That’s very strange. It’s correct to say, “I speak English fluently.”
And it’s also correct to say, “ I speak fluent English,” isn’t it?
Yes, it is.
Then why is it incorrect to say, “ I speak fluently English?”
Gee, there goes the bell. That’s the end of the lesson, I guess. See you all tomorrow.
Are we going to my place again tonight?
I’ve got a bit of a headache, you know. I was planning to go home; there might be some mail for me.
From Juanita?
Well, yes. Maybe.
Can I come too? We never spend time in your apartment. It would make a nice charge.
Oh, alright sure, There’s nothing to eat there, by the way. We’ll get a Chinese meal to go on the way home.
I adore Chinese food. The sweet and sour pork is delicious. How’s yours, David?
Oh, it’s OK,thanks. I think I’ve had enough. I’ll see if there’s anything worth watching on television.
I don’t want to watch TV.
Oh, OK. I’ll put on a CD then, Do you feel like classical or rock?
Why can’t we just talk to each other?
Alright. What do you want to talk about?
David, what’s going to happen when Juanita comes back?
Are you going to tell her?
Oh for God’s sake! Can’t we deal with problems when they arise? Do we have to go looking for them beforehand?
Who says it’s a problem? You’re such a pessemist sometimes, David.
You see everything as a terribly serious problem.
Personally, I think of it is an opportunity.
An opportunity for Juanita to scream in Spanish for 24 hours non-stop
and throw all the pots and pans in the kitchen at me. You don’t know her, Melissa, I’m afraid.
So what? People can change, can’t they? You see---
I’ll get it.
No, it’s alright.
No, Melissa, please. Let me get it.
Hello, David Peters’ apartment.
Who are you?
I beg your pardon. Who are you?
I’m David’s wife, and I want to know who you are, and what are you doing in my apartment.
Melissa, please.
I’m David’s friend and I’ve come to his apartment to …
Melissa, for God’s sake give me that phone!
Hello, darling. How are things?
What is going on, David?
Hey, that was just one of my students. I’m giving her private lessons.
She was only joking. She’s got a great sense of humor, hasn’t she?
We’ll talk about it when I come home. Meet me at the airport at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow, OK?
What? Have they found your father, then?
I’ll explain tomorrow. And you’ve got some explaining to do as well. Make sure you’re there.
