Dialogue 7

WHY DIDN'T CALL US?

Laurance-When did you get here?

Soony- Just a few minutes ago.

Ikea- We've been waiting for almost an hour.

Soony- I'm sorry, but I had car trouble--a flat tire.

Laurance-Oh. That's too bad. Couldn't you have telephoned?

Soony- I was going to, but I didn't have any change for a

pay phone.

Ikea- You could have gotten some change in a store.

Soony- Not really. The tire went flat out on the edge of

town. There wasn't any place to call from.

Ikea- WelL at least you're here now. No need to wait

any longer. So let's get started!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

注解:

a flat tire:輪胎癟了

Could you have telephoned?此句用虛擬語(yǔ)氣,有"你該做而沒(méi)有做"的責(zé)備之意.

change:零錢(qián).這里指硬幣.

a pay phone:公用電話.公用電話是收費(fèi)的,所以也稱a pay phone.

went flat=became flat,went 在這里是系動(dòng)詞.

get started(口語(yǔ))=begin work
