  【语言点精讲】

  1. I'd like to call home and leave the number with the baby-sitter.

  I'd like to…(I would like to)是较客气的表示希望或要求的说法。

  baby-sitter,临时保姆。在美国,父母晚间外出时都要找自己比较熟悉的临时保姆(baby-sitter)来照看孩子,按小时付给工资。通常他们外出前都会将所去处的电话号码留给baby-sitter,回来后一般都要开车送他们回家。

  2. five five five…seventeen twenty

  5-5-5-17-20。这是念电话号码的一种形式。念完前三位号码,再两个两个地念后四位号码。

  3. Five five five…one seven two oh.

  5-5-5-1-7-2-0。这是念电话号码的另一种形式。念完前三位号码,再一个一个地念后四位号码。

  4. Shall we go?

  用"Shall we ...?" 来提建议,显得礼貌。

  5. Hope to see you again.

  希望再见到你。对新朋友道别时讲的话。

  6. After you.

  请先走。一般男士让女士先下车或先出门时讲的话。
