職場社交英語 Lesson 69:靈驗了嗎?
SCENE ③ C 電話響起
【靈驗了嗎？】
Zina: Hi, Dave. This is Zina.
吉娜： 嗨，戴夫。我是吉娜。
Dave: Zina? Zina the Snake?
戴夫： 吉娜？詐包吉娜？
Zina: I got your e-mail a couple of months back.
吉娜： 幾個月前我收到了你寄來的電子郵件。
Dave: Yeah? Which one was that?
戴夫： 是嗎？是哪一封？
Zina: The one that said, ＂You're a 1) creep. / From me you won't hear another 2) peep. / I hope you 3) wreck your jeep.＂
吉娜： 上面寫着：“你這討厭鬼。/休想我會再理你。/望你吉普車會撞毀。”
Dave: Right. That one. 4) Did it work?
戴夫： 那一封啊。靈驗了嗎？
語言詳解:
A: I told dad you wrecked the car!
我跟老爸說你撞壞車子了！
B: You're not going to get away with this. It was your fault, not mine.
你脫不了關係。都是你的錯，不是我。
【Did it work? 靈驗了嗎？】
要注意work 並不專指“工作”，有時指“靈光、有效”。
A: My brain doesn't seem to work well today.
我腦袋今天好像不靈光。
B: You're better take a walk outside. But be back soon. We have a lot of work to do this afternoon.
你最好到外面走一走。但是要快快回來，我們下午有一大堆事要做。
A: I understand you had a bad cold yesterday.
我聽說你昨天患了重感冒。
B: It's gone. My grandma's prescription really works.
已經痊癒了。我祖母的處方真的有效。
1) creep (n.) 令人討厭的人
2) peep (n.) 小的聲音。這裏是指“消息”。
3) wreck (v.) 撞毀
4) Did it work? 有用嗎？有效嗎？
