And this is David. He’s from Toronto. 这位是大卫。他从多伦多来。 A I’ve got another friend coming in about 20 minutes. He might be running a bit late, but he’ll be here soon. A 我还有一位朋友大约20分钟后到。他可能会晚到一会,但是他很快会到的。 B Who is he? Have we met him before? B 他是谁?我们以前见过他吗? A No, I don’t think so. He’s another guy who works with me. A Canadian. A 不,我想没有。他是另一个和我一起工作的小伙子。一个加拿大人。 B I look forward to seeing him. B 我期待着见到他。 A Here he is – he’s early. Let me introduce him. This is David. He’s from Toronto. A 他来了——他提前到了。让我来介绍他。这位是大卫。他从多伦多来。 B Hi David. Glad you could come. B 嗨,大卫。很高兴你能来。 Notes 注释 1 Remember the colloquial phrase to describe being a little bit late, especially if someone is busy, or something is delaying them, such as traffic, e.g.: He’s running a bit late / He’s running a bit late; The traffic is heavy so I’m running late / The traffic is heavy so I’m running late. 记住描述某人有点迟到时用的口语化短语,尤其是当某人很忙或者他被某事(例如交通阻塞)所耽搁的时候。例如:He’s running a bit late /他可能会晚到一会;The traffic is heavy so I’m running late /交通太拥挤了,所以我要迟到一会了。 2 If you are not sure and want to check if you’ve already done something, or met someone, or been somewhere, you can say: Have we met him before? / Have we met him before? ;Have we been to that restaurant before? / Have we been to that restaurant before? 如果你不肯定你是否已经做了某事或者见了某人,或者去过某个地方,而你想验证一下,你可以说:Have we met him before? / 我们以前见过他吗?; Have we been to that restaurant before? /我们以前去过那家餐馆吗?
