Hi, Tom, did you watch the game between Manchester and Madrid last night?

I heard that you like playing golf a lot. Can you tell me how long it took you to learn this sport?

To be a doctor must be a very hard and challenging job. Why did you choose this career years ago?

It seems drug abuse is everywhere in our society. I usually can’t understand why people take drugs to fulfill their emptiness.

I do think that’s charming.

I must say the soup is really very good.

Oh, how nice!

You look smart in your new suit.

I’ve got to hand it to you; you really did a good job.

Just look at it! Isn’t it amazing?

If I may say so, your smile is quite charming.

I’m very glad you think so.

It’s very nice of you to say so.

Oh, I’m flattered. 真讓我受寵若驚

I’m extremely glad to hear about that.

That’s a great relief.

That had me worried for a moment.

How terrible for you!

I do hope it’s nothing serious.

I’m dreadfully sorry for you.

You must be feeling terrible.

Bless you!

Is there any way I can help?

Come on, you’ll make it.

Don’t give up hope.

That’s better than I could do.

Don’t worry. I’m sure you’ll do better this time.

I’m right behind you!

You have our backing.

Stick to it!

Cheer up, boy!

I quite agree with you.

Oh, exactly.

My own view precisely. 正如我所想。

Good, it’s the correct thing to do.

That sounds very sensible to me.

Do you honestly feel that’s reasonable? 你真認為這是對的嗎?

I can’t approve of your decision. 我恐怕不能同意

Is that really necessary, do you think? 你真認為有必要嗎?

I wouldn’t say that. 我可不會這麼說

With pleasure.

That’d be delightful.

If you’re sure it’s no trouble for you.

I’d like nothing better.

謝絕

Thanks all the time, but I won’t.

Not for me, thank you.

That’s really not necessary. 真的不必了

Oh, what a shame! I’m going to a party.

Sorry, I can’t. But thanks anyway.
