B hi, my friend.

　　N hi, my boy, is everything ok with you?

　　B well, so far, so good. 『目前为止一切都好。』

　　N you told me you had a book coming this year?

　　B Brian American English.

　　N that’s the title『书名』?

　　B that is the title.

　　N and its coming------ due when? 『什么时候面市？』

　　【注】due：应付的、预期的，如His loan is due next month. / 他的贷款下月到期。

　　B it’s in September.

　　N you’ve competed now?

　　B oh, its --- not yet, but it’s coming out in September, and it’s almost completely done.

　　N did you write that by yourself?

　　B yes, it’s written by myself, and I hope readers can enjoy it.

　　N oh, wait a moment.

　　B ok.

　　N I got a cup of diet pepsi.『减肥可乐、即健怡可乐』

　　【注】diet有减肥含义，如：Lisa is on a diet these days. / 莉莎这几天在节食； diet Pepsi指的是含卡路里比较低的一种可乐，俺个人感觉，味道巨难喝。公司有个同事有些胖，整天喝健怡可乐，每次上下电梯，别人只要见他在内，必定要等下一班。有一次他向大伙抱怨：“为什么要这样伤害我呢？跟我乘电梯有什么不好呢？只不过上来时慢一些，下去时快一点罢了。”

　　B is it popular in New york?

　　N it’s ok, a little bit. Will you sign books『签名售书』 at the book store or sth when it comes out?

　　B I don’t think so, I don’t like to be known by a lot of people.『我不太喜欢被很多人知道』

　　N 
