喷倒老美
Bill约好和女朋友一起去影院看电影,可是电影开始放映了,Bill还没到,于是女友给他打电话,问道:“What’s the deal? Why are you late?” Bill心想:“我是迟到了,可我没做什么交易”。
想聊就聊
Daniel: You are late. What’s the deal?
丹尼尔:你迟到了,怎么回事?
Tom: Sorry,I was delayed by something and stuck in traffic.
汤姆:抱歉,我有事延误了。又遇上了堵车。
知识点津
deal本义是“交易”的意思,在What’s the deal?中,deal表示“状况,事情”等,因此What’s the deal?句意是“怎么回事?”相当于What’s up?或What’s the matter?
