EXPECTING A PHONE CALL

　　Soony- I didn't hear anything.

　　Laurance-I thought I heard it ring two or three times.

　　Soony- Sometimes when the windows are open， you can hear the neighbors' phone.

　　Laurance-Well， I'm expecting an important phone call， and I don't want to miss it.

　　Soony- Is it anything I should know about？

　　Laurance-Not really. It has something to do with work and doesn't really affect us here at home.

　　Soony- Well， why don't you go ahead and do what you wanted to do outside. I'll call you if the phone rings for you.

　　Laurance-Thanks. I think I will. I've been waiting so long now I'm getting nervous. I need to relax outdoors.

　　注解：

　　1. Not really.= It is not really anything you should know about.

　　2. have something to do with work：与工作有关。这是个常用句型。

　　have 动词之后可用nothing，something，anything也可用a lot，agreat deal，little等词替换。

　　3. waiting so long now（that）I'm getting nervous：口语中so……that结构中的that常省略。
