ACT 3-5 歡迎你隨時來玩

【故事梗概】

Alexandra與Stewart一家人告別。這次，這位助人為樂的來自希臘的小美女反過來卻把自己的背包忘在了Stewart家。

Robbie: Would you like some pasta? I made it myself. It might be a little cold.

Alexandra: Thanks, no. I do have to go. It was nice meeting you all.

Marilyn: Well, maybe you’ll come for lunch some Sunday, so we can really thank you for bringing Richard’s bag back.

Alexandra: Maybe.

Ellen: You’re welcome anytime.

Philip: Good-bye.

Richard: Can I drive you home?

Alexandra: No, thanks. The train is just up the street. It won’t take me long at all.

Richard: Well, you really saved the day for me, Alexandra.

Alexandra: Bye.

Richard: Bye-bye.

Ellen: Good night.

Philip: She’s a smart young lady, and very nice.

Robbie: Very! Hey, she forgot her bag!

Ellen: I guess we’ll be seeing Alexandra again. Right, Robbie?

【語言點精講】

1. I do have to go.

do在這里相當于"really"，用來加強語氣。

2. Maybe you’ll come for lunch some Sunday.

或許哪個星期天你可以過來吃午飯。

這是在告別時表示客氣的一句客套話，如誠心誠意地邀請，則須說明確切的時間。

3. You’re welcome anytime．

歡迎你隨時來玩。這也是在告別時經常使用的一句客套話，

4. You really saved the day for me .

相當于"You really helped me a lot."（你的確幫了我的大忙。）

5. Good night．

晚安。用于下午或晚上人們相互分手告別時。

6. I guess we’ll be seeing Alexandra again.

I guess...在這里是“我認為...”的意思，認為某事很有可能如此或會發(fā)生時用。

這里的"will/shall be doing..."，是用將來進行時來表示較強的感情，即盼望將來能做到某事，或預期將來某件事情必然會發(fā)生。
