上一集说到5名室友登报寻找一名新的合租伙伴来分担房租。许多人应征,但最合适的人选是Jason Harman- Equinox酒吧的老板。不久,大家发现Jason好像有什么事在隐瞒…
发现室友不大对劲,要说些什么?
1. 可以先问问其他人有没有发现他的问题:
Has Yummy found anything out about Jason?
Yummy有没有发现Jason的问题?
2. 提出自己的疑虑:
I’ve noticed lately that he hasn’t been his usual loud self.
我最近发现他有些反常。
3. 直接刨根问底:
what’s up? Why the long faces?
怎么了?干吗板着脸?
4. 表达自己的关心:
I hope that everything is ok.
我希望一切都好/我希望没什么事。
