重點(diǎn)解說:
★ It's been ages since I saw you last!「好久不見了!」這句話是雙方有好長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間不曾碰面時(shí)的問候語。除了上文的說法外,還有"It's been a long time." "Long time no see!"等說法。
★ You might as well ~ 是比You had better ~ 更委婉更有禮貌的說法。
★ drop by意指「非正式的拜訪」
★ for a while「一會(huì)兒」類似用法如: once in a while「有時(shí),偶爾」
★ actually「事實(shí)上(=in fact, as a matter of fact)」
★I have no time.是「我沒有時(shí)間」或「我沒空」的意思。Do you have time?意指 「你有空嗎?」但如添加the一詞說成"Do you have the time?"意思與"What time is it now?"相同,即指「現(xiàn)在幾點(diǎn)?」請(qǐng)?zhí)貏e注意。
★fly to ~ 「搭機(jī)飛往~」
