Does it ring any bells? 记得吗?
李华和Larry正在超级市场买菜,同时还讨论着下周末去打网球的事情。 LL: Hey, Li Hua, does the name "Laura Wilson" ring any bells for you? LH:Laura Wilson?不是那个上星期我们在网球场上碰到的那个金发女孩嘛?她为什么要为我打铃呀?她和打铃有什么关系? LL:Oh, no! If someone asks you if something "rings a bell," then he is asking if you remember it. I just got a phone message from Laura Wilson and I can't remember who she is. LH: Larry, 你年纪轻轻,怎么那么健忘!Laura Wilson上星期在网球场上还跟我们说她准备去当职业网球手。 LL: Oh, now I remember who she is. Once you mentioned her plan to be a professional tennis player, then her name rang a bell with me. LH: Larry, to ring a bell这个说法很有意思。你刚才问我,Laura的名字有没有ring a bell,就是在问我记不记得Laura。那也就是说,要是我记得的话,那我脑子里就会个铃声。更多信息请访问:http://www.engbus.cn/ LL: It's a very vivid expression and easy to remember. Right? LH: 对,我们和她说好下个周末一起打网球,你还记得吗?Does that ring a bell? LL: Yeah, that rings a bell. What time were we supposed to meet her? LH: 我记得我们约好了下午4点种在网球场碰面的。 LL: That rings a bell, too. I had better write that down so that I don't forget again. LH: Larry, 这个星期五是2月11号,怎么样,那是什么日子啊?Does that ring a bell? LL: It rings a bell, but I'm not sure why. Could you refresh my memory? LH: Larry! 我真不敢相信你居然忘记了! LL: I'm just kidding, Li Hua. Of course, I remember that Friday is your birthday.
