生活口语

Tom,could you run to the store and get some dish detergent? We're out of dish detergent.

汤姆，你去商店买点洗涤剂好吗? 家里没有洗涤剂了。

Can you ask Nancy to do it?I'm in the middle of something.

你能让南希去买吗?我现在忙着呢。

重点讲解:

We don't have any dish soap.

We're out of dish detergent.

英文中表达“家里没有洗涤剂了。”常用We're out of dish detergent.be out of sth.就是“没有…缺少…”。
