本期节目我们来学习I mean...的用法。
情景会话1 我和室友Kelly讨论晚餐
Zoey: Do you wanna have some Chinese food tonight? I mean...real Chinese food, not something like General Tso's Chicken. (你今晚想吃中餐吗?我的意思是……真的中餐,不是左宗棠鸡那种。)
Kelly: Sure. Why not? (当然。为什么不呢?)
情景会话2 我和Andrew聊起同事Peter
Zoey: Peter plays violin, I mean viola very well. (Peter拉小提琴,啊是中提琴,拉得特别好。)
Andrew: Really? I don't know about that. (是吗?我都不知道。)
