一、CAN I HELP?
laurance--Hey!What's the rush?
soony--The bank closes in half an hour and I need to
cash a check.
laurance--I can lend you some money.
soony--I need to cash a check because I'm going on a
trip this ally,I want to buy some
traveler's checks.
I help in any way?
soony--You can drive me to the bank if you want
car's out of gas.
's go.
soony--Wait just a minute.I have to get my checkbook
out of the desk.
註解：
1)rush：忙碌，匆匆忙忙。以rush構成的短語如，a rush of work/
rush hour/gold rush等。
2)out of gas：沒有油了。gas=gasoline;out of表示“沒有”
“短缺”，除與be動詞連用外，還與run連用。如：I ran out of
always runs out of money before the next pay day.

careless.
laurance--true,but,nonetheless,that doesn't mean that
all the other drivers are e are
