英語早間課堂:明白我的話了吧

Good morning, my buddies. Welcome to my class. I'm Juliet。A saying goes, "An hour in the morning is worth two hours in the evening." So, I hope we can spend a wonderful and meaningful time here

If a speaker wants to know if everyone has understood something important that was said, how should he put it? Let’s listen to the following mini situational dialogue to get the answer. It happens between a teacher and a student at class.

A:I don’t allow cell phones to be used in class. Do I make myself clear?

B:But sir, what if there is an emergency call from my parents?

All right, have you got the answer? It is “Do I make myself clear?”This is asking “Have you understood?” It’s similar to saying in Chinese——聽懂我的話了嗎?or 理解我的話了嗎?For two more examples:

Example 1:I’m going to need a little bit more compensation. Do I make myself clear?

(譯文：我需要更多一點的補償，你明白了嗎?)

Example 2:Ihad a great time with Jill last night, I make myself clear.

(譯文：你也知道的，我昨晚和Jill度過了一個美妙的夜晚。)

If someone asks you whether he makes himself clear to you, you could say like this——I've heard you. This is a way of showing you have physically heard something that has been said. It equals to Chinese—— 我聽懂了你的話。

Let's see another mini situational dialogue. It happened between a mother and her son.

A:This place needs to be cleaned before you leave. Do you hear me?

B:Yeah, it's impossible not to hear you because you are shouting so loud.

The following phrases in the above two dialogues should be bear in our mind. The are as follows:cell phones(手機)an emergency call(緊急電話)a call from(從......打來的電話)

Today we’ve learned two short sentences used in spoken English. One is that——Do I make myself clearly?The other is that——I hear you.Let’s call it a day for now. Thank you for your listening this time and see you next time.

Homework:Please translate the the dialogues into Chinese in the text.
