赫伯特:
她大笑,然后把信拿给所有同事看。Don:
So what happened?
唐:
然后呢?Herbert:
They said, "how could a geek like Herbert write something like that?" ... I think I need a beer.
赫伯特:
他们说“赫伯特这个只懂电脑的怪人,哪能写出这种东西来?”…… 我想我需要啤酒。Don:
Sorry I 3) got you into this mess, Herb.
唐:
对不起,我害你弄得一团糟,赫伯特。语言详解 A: Why did you quit your job?
work作名词用时是表示“工作”的意思,在这里则是作动词用,表示“可行的/有用的”之意,如:Did it work?(有没有用?/有用吗?),如果是It works!,它可以用在事物发挥了它的作用时,是个又短又好用的小句子,例如: A: Does this tie look OK with this suit? 这条领带配这西装好看吗?B: Yeah, it works. 嗯,它蛮配的。 也可以说某事进行得符合预期,很顺利:A: Did your plan work out? 你的计划顺利吗?B: It worked.
