What a coincidence, but anyway I'm glad to see that you're not too badly hurt, and I should probably get going. I have a nine-o'clock meeting but here's my number. Call me and we'll exchange insurance information.
嗯,是的。我想我们以前在哪里见过。上周在亚伦的家里见过。真是太巧了!但无论怎样,还是很开心你没有伤得很重。我应该走了,我九点有一个会议,但这是我的电话号码。给我打电话,我们将交换保险信息。
