DIALOGUE 74:Phoning a Friend
1--Hello, three-five...
2--Is that Jill?
1--Speaking.
2--Jill, this is Sam. Look Jill. I want to see you
again. How about a drink tonight?
1--I'm sorry. I'm very tired. I'm going to bed early.
2--What about tomorrow evening?
1--No, I'm sorry. I'm going to meet some friends
tomorrow evening. And I'm in hurry now.
Goodbye.
2--But Jill...
===================================
注解:
1)Speaking=This is Jill speaking.相当汉语中说“我
就是吉尔”。
2)How about a drink tonight? How about...?多用于
征询对方意见,与下文What about...?同义。a drink通常
指出去喝咖啡,吃小吃等。
3)be in a hurry:匆忙;有急事要办。
===================================
译文:

1--对不起。我很累。我要早点睡。
2--明天晚上行不行?
1--也不行,很抱歉。明天晚上我要去看望一些朋友,
现在我有急事,再见...
2--但是吉尔......
