講解部分
—"reach sb."在本對話中表示“(通過電話)聯(lián)系到某人”。
例如:l can probably reach him on his mobile.(或許我能打他手機聯(lián)系到他。)“reach"作 此義講時,相當于“contact” 。
—"on business" 意思是“出差,有公務”。
例如:She's in New York this week on business.(這周她在紐約辦事。)Do you travel abroad on business more than three times a year?(你一年要到國外出差三次以上嗎?)
Linda had to go to Chicago on business.(琳達不得不去芝加哥出差了。)
—"I’m afraid I can't make it."在口語中經(jīng)常用來表示辦不到某事,可譯為 “恐怕我做不到/辦不到?!被蚋鶕?jù)情況譯為“恐怕我不能…”,在這里可譯為“我恐怕不能參加了”。"make it"表示“完成或做成某事”。
