Attention Please…特别提醒
[你可以请外教反复帮你模仿/训练下面句子/词组的正宗美式发音]
[1]I'm sure no one could rip me off. Rip someone off意思是宰客，敲竹杠。如：I was ripped off.我被宰了一刀。而rip-off则表示花冤枉钱买来的东西。如：What? You paid 30 for the crap? That's a rip-off.
[2] How much did you pay for your watch battery?你手表的电池多少钱换的？一般老外们不会问这种问题。他们觉得这属于个人隐私。这里Marco和他的外国朋友关系不错，所以老外并不介意。
