[English]Daily Spoken English in China-2

Daily Spoken English in China-2.

Dialogue:

A:You mean you can’t do that?

B:It’s not that I can’t do that, but that your teams are too harsh

A:You will be sorry!

B:Just wait and see.

A:这么说,这件事你办不了?

B:不是不办了,是你们的条件太苛刻了.

A:你会后悔的.

B:咱们骑驴看唱本–走着瞧!

Notes: 本句是中国传统的歇后语,具有幽默的意味.如果仅用后半句"走着瞧!"那就是真的威胁的话语了, 意思是警告对方今后会有麻烦.而本句的意思是,要对方留意今后算双方的发展动向,也许自己会令对方大吃一惊.本句包含了中文的两种用法–即可作威胁的话语,也可以做普通的告知的话语.
