打电话的人要找的人不在, 问对方是否要留言
Can I talk to Mark? (我可以跟 Mark 讲话吗?)
Hes out on his lunch break right now. Would you like to leave a message? 他出去吃午饭了, 你要留言吗?
Hes not available right now. Can I take a message? 他不在, 我可以帮你传话吗?
打电话的人要找的人不在, 愿意接受对方的留言
Can I leave a message? 我可以留个话?
Yes. Go ahead, please. 可以, 请继续。
Of course. Hold on for just a second so I can grab a pen and paper. 当然, 稍等一下让我拿个纸笔。
Sure, if you can excuse me for just a second. Let me find a piece of paper to write it down. 当然, 如果你可以等我一下下, 让我找张纸写下来。

You can say that again!这句话的意思是「我同意你」(I agree with you.)或「你对了」(You are right.)例如:
When the professor spoke on human rights, the students responded, "You can say that again!"(当教授谈到人权时;学生回答说:「你说得对!」)
虽然这句话的主词通常只用第二人称单数 You,但在某些情况下,也可以用其他人称。例如: When we heard Mr. Clinton's speech on tax reduction, my wife turned to me and said, "He can say that again!"(当我们听到柯林顿先生减税的讲演时,内人转头对我说:「他说得对!」)
Give Me a Break
范例:Oh, come on. Give me a break. 噢,算了吧。别开玩笑了。
句型解说:“Give me a break.” 是一句很流行的话。但凡你听到别人说一个消息、的一件事或任何一句话,你挺了不相信,都可以回他一句 “give me a break”, 既清楚表达了不相信他说的话,而且又充分地运用了一句流行的英语(论坛)。“give me a break”“get out of here”都有不相信对方的意思。但“get out of here” 所表达的不相信中,含有兴奋的意味。例如:有人说你漂亮,你回答他说:“别骗我了,要用get out of here,而不用give me a break。因为别人的说你漂亮,你虽然说别开玩笑了,事实上正芳心暗喜呢。
灵活运用:
1.Mary: Do you know who is going with John ?
你知道谁是John的女朋友吗?
Jack: Ann Lee? Give me a break。
李安妮?别开玩笑了。
2.John: Tell you what.
告诉你一个消息。
I'm going to beat Tom at math contest.
我会在数学竞赛中赢汤姆。
Mary: Oh, give me a break.Tom is so good at math
别开玩笑了。Tom 的数学那么好。
