Attention Please…特别提醒
[你可以请外教反复帮你模仿/训练下面句子/词组的正宗美式发音]
[1]The line is always busy.电话占线叫The line is busy.或是The line is engaged.打不通电话叫I can't get through.
[2]whereabouts表示哪里,什么地方。和where的用法差不多。不过它还可以作为名词使用,表示"下落,所在地" ie: Only I know his whereabouts.
Get the phone. hot line pay phone receiver hang up hold on
注:书中对话仅作参考,重要的是拿起电话,就自己喜欢的内容与老外反复练习。轻易不出口,出口必砸人。
