語(yǔ)法分析

1. Hi, I'm not home right now but my answering machine is, so you can talk to it instead. 嗨，我現(xiàn)在不在家，但我的答錄機(jī)在，所以你可以和它說(shuō)。

解析 　這是一個(gè)由so引導(dǎo)的結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)從句，前半句又是一個(gè)省略句，is后面省略了表語(yǔ)home，這是為了避免和前文的I'm not home重復(fù)。

口語(yǔ)實(shí)踐

笑話文化解讀

美國(guó)家庭中的電話機(jī)一般都有留言提示功能，外來(lái)電話撥入時(shí)，若該電話號(hào)碼的主人不在，就會(huì)讓撥入者聽到一段留言，這叫Answer。絕大多數(shù)的Answer都是千篇一律的：說(shuō)明主人不在，請(qǐng)撥入者留下簡(jiǎn)短信息及姓名電話號(hào)碼等。上文幾則特別的Answer體現(xiàn)了美國(guó)人的幽默，你能體會(huì)出其幽默所在嗎？
