李华需要一个书架,她请Larry 陪她去社区看看有没有卖旧货的。李华今天会学到两个常用语:up for something和spot someone。
LH: Larry , 我想买个书架, 你陪我去附近社区看看有没有卖旧货的,好吗?对了,报纸上的广告说, 附近就有一家, 走路10分钟就到。
LL: Sure. I m up for it. Let s go.
LH: Up for it? 这话是什么意思?听起来好象你愿意去。
LL: Right! When someone says he is up for it, that just means they are ready to do what is proposed, often some kind of social activity.
LH: 明白了, 你刚才说,"I m up for it", 意思是你愿意跟我去社区看看卖旧货的情况。那太好了。Larry , 如果我买到书架, 你能不能帮我把它搬回去呀?
LL: I m definitely not up for that. I definitely don t want to do that.
LH: 我要是请你吃晚饭呢?Are you up for it ?
LL: Well, I could be up for that, as long as the furniture isn t too big or heavy.
