【Situational Dialogue】
A: Hows it going with the travel arrangements, Rachel?

B: 我已按你要求的時間訂好了班機,也找到了你在巴黎住三天的旅館。法蘭克福還是個問題。下周,那里要舉行大型經貿交易會。所有的旅館都已經預定滿了。
A: You can find me something, surely?
A: 你一定會給我找到一個住處的,對嗎?
B: Maybe, but itll probably be out in the wilds.
B: 有可能,不過也許要到荒郊野外的地方才能找到。
A: Well, keep trying. I managed to persuade quite a few people to see me, and I must keep the appointments. Are you having any language problems?
A: 哎,繼續努力找吧。我好不容易說服了那么多人和我會面,我必須守約呀。你有語言方面的困難嗎?

B: You might end up walking the streets.
B: 你可能到時候只能遛馬路。
A: Ive just thought of something. My first appointment is with Mr. Schmitt. His secretary was particularly helpful when I spoke to her. It might be worth giving her a ring and asking if she has any ideas.
A: 我剛想到一個辦法。我的第一個約會是和Schmitt先生會談。我和他的'秘書通話時,發現她特別樂于助人。給她打個電話,問問她有什么辦法,說不定能解決問題。
B: Okay, Ill give it a try.
B: 好吧,我試試看。
【Note】
1. Hows it going with sth./sb. 表示“某事進行得如何?/某人近況如何?”。我們平時跟熟人打招呼時可以說"Hows it going (with you)?",這是非?谡Z的表達,意思相當于How are you doing?(你近來如何?)
2. more of 是“更多”的意思,more of a problem 就是說不僅僅是一個問題,換句話說就是個大問題。
3. keep ones appointment 表示“守約”,appointment 相當于 engagement(約會)的意思,其他詞組還有:break ones appointment 違約,by appointment 按照約會的時間(地點)
4. walk the streets 這個短語要當心點啊,它除了有“在街上走”的意思外,還能表示“做風塵女子”。
