DIALOGUE 73

Phoning a Friend

1--Hello, three-five...
2--Is that Jill?
1--Speaking.
2--Jill, this is Sam. Look Jill. I want to see you
   again. How about a drink tonight?
1--I'm sorry. I'm very tired. I'm going to bed early.
2--What about tomorrow evening?
1--No, I'm sorry. I'm going to meet some friends
   tomorrow evening. And I'm in hurry now.
   Goodbye.
2--But Jill...

===================================
注解：

1）Speaking=This is Jill speaking.相当汉语中说“我
就是吉尔”。
2）How about a drink tonight? How about...?多用于
征询对方意见，与下文What about...?同义。a drink通常
指出去喝咖啡，吃小吃等。
3）be in a hurry：匆忙；有急事要办。

===================================
译文：

2--是吉尔吗？
1--是。
2--吉尔，我是萨姆。喂，吉尔，我想再见一见你。今
天晚上一起去喝咖啡怎么样？
1--对不起。我很累。我要早点睡。
2--明天晚上行不行？
1--也不行，很抱歉。明天晚上我要去看望一些朋友，
现在我有急事，再见...
2--但是吉尔......
