4. I knew it! 我就知道(会这样)
5.I ran into Jenny out on the street. 我刚才在街上撞见/碰见Jenny
Ran into=偶然遇见,不期而遇,类似的说法还有come across, bump into, see, formal点的说法是encounter。
如果是事先约好的,那你就要schedule an appointment, fix a date了。
Street前面的介词用in和on皆可,office前面也是用in 或者at都可以。其实我们学英语是为了自己让对方明白,所以有时候是不必太钻牛角尖的,一般人其实没必要在一些细枝末节上花太多精力。
后面Venessa说了句Nate is running late=nate’s gonna be late. 如果说时间要用光了: time is running out(muse一首歌的歌名,很好听),如果说车的汽油快用光了:gas is running out, 如果说电池快没电了: battery is running low; 电池没电了是battery is dead,而后面Jenny 说她的手机没电了:My phone died. 说到这,我想起前断时间看的一份香港报纸,介绍走地鸡(放养的鸡)怎么说: free-range chicken, 而肉鸡(笼养鸡)就是battery chicken。如果是竞选总统:run for presidency, 管理一家公司: run a company, 叫人拼命跑,赶紧逃命:run for your deal life.
6. Dan's Father: You two have worked out all your issues?
你们俩的问题现在都解决了吧。
Dan: yeah, Got’em all squared away
是的。都说清楚了。
Square away=finish
