情景会话1 我向好友Leo澄清误会
Leo: You said you didn't want to go to the party, so I didn't invite you.(你说你不想去参加聚会,所以我没有邀请你。)
Zoey: That's not quite what I meant. I said I didn't want to go alone, but if you invited me, I would definitely go.(我不是这个意思。我是说我不想一个人去,但如果你邀请我,我一定会去的。)
情景会话2 我与同事讨论中午饭
Zoey: You told me you didn't have time for lunch, so I assumed you'd skip it.(你告诉我你没有时间吃午饭,所以我以为你这顿饭不吃了。)
Daniel: That's not quite what I meant. I said I didn't have time to go out for lunch, but I'll grab something quick from the cafeteria.(我不是这个意思。我是说我没时间出去吃午饭,但我会去食堂随便吃点什么。)
