瑪麗：與你不瞭解的人一起討論政治可不是個好主意。
Jim: Why's that? How are you supposed to get to know someone if you don't ask what they think?
吉姆：這是爲什麼呢？如果你不詢問他們的想法又怎麼去了解他們呢？
Mary: You can ask about other kinds of things. You'll never know if the person you are talking to has the same ideas. If
they don't, they might get offended at your ideas or you might get offended at their ideas.
瑪麗：你可以詢問他其他方面的事情。你根本就不知道和你談話的這個人是否與你持有相同的觀點。一旦觀點不同，要麼他們被你的觀點所冒犯，要麼你被他們的觀點所冒犯。

3.詳細解說
1.“get to”在口語中可以表示“開始，着手，開始處理”，“to”爲介詞，後面可以接代詞、名詞或動名詞。例如：He got to thinking
that she wouldrt't come after all.（他開始覺得她最終不會來了。）She gets to worrying over nothing at all.（她開始沒來由地擔心
起來。）注意，“get to do sth.”則表示“有機會做某事”，在口語中也很常用，例如：We got to meet all the stars after the show.
（演出結束後我們有機會見到了所有的名星。）She gets to travel all over the country with her job.（她因爲工作關係有機會在全國到
處旅。）
2.“discuss sth. with sb.”的意思是“與某人討論某事”。
3.“be supposed to do sth.”的意思是“被期望…，應該…”。
“No”，你會用嗎
通常我們大家都認爲，只要一說出“No”，就表示否定了，事實真的就是如此嗎？一起來看看下面的例子：
A: Have you heard of anything about Mr. Smith?
B： No.
A: He has got lung cancer.
B: Oh, no! Poor man.
A: By the way, you don't smoke, do you?
B： No．
A: Can I smoke here?
B: No．
對話中出現的四個“No”分別是什麼意思呢？
第一個“No”是對對方問題作出的否定答覆，表示“沒有”。
第二個“No”是感嘆詞，用來表達對所聽到的不幸事情的驚歎。
第三個“No”是根據自己的實際情況進行的答覆，意爲“我不吸菸”。
第四個“No”表示不同意對方的請求，意爲“不行”。
