DIALOGUE 98
1--John, is this John, isn't it?
2--Well, well, Mary. Fancy meeting you here. I
haven't seen you for...oh, what...
1--Oh, must've been nearly ten years.
2--Mm, doesn't time fly? Anyway, what are you doing
here? Are you living here now...or...?
1--No, we are down here on holiday. And you?
2--Yes, we are on holiday too.
===================================
注解:
1)fancy是動詞,作“想象”解。多用在表示驚奇的感嘆句。
又如,F(xiàn)ancy meeting so many old friends here at the
party! Fancy her saying such things about you!
2)must've been nearly ten years=must have been
nearly ten years 這是接上文說的,作for的賓語從句。
===================================
