　　第一， 迷你對(duì)話

　　A: As we and the Jacksons are in the same neighborhood, we might as well pay them a call. Iwant to bright a bunch of flower to them.

　　Jacksons和我們住在附近，我們?nèi)グ菰L一下他把，我想送一束花給他。

　　B: That’s all right. Is there anything we need to do?

　　沒問題。我們還需要帶什么呢?

　　第二， 地道表達(dá)

　　pay sb. a call

　　1. 解詞釋義

　　Pay a call的字面意思是“打完電話后付費(fèi)”，引申為“拜訪”的意思。有這樣一種猜想：有了電話后，人們相互之間的聯(lián)系方便多了，去別人家拜訪前一般先得打個(gè)電話預(yù)約。打電話是要付費(fèi)用的，所以人們就用“付電話費(fèi)”來表示“去別人家拜訪”。

　　2. 拓展范例

　　e.g. I have omitted paying you a call for fear of disturbing you.

　　我怕打擾你而沒有來拜訪你。

　　e.g. I've never even ventured to pay him a call at his home myself, though I know him so well.

　　我自己從來沒有貿(mào)然登門拜訪過他，雖然我很了解他。

　　e.g. It would be, well, rather awkward for me to pay you a call.

　　唔，如果去拜訪您呢，對(duì)我有些不便。

　　e.g. I will pay you a call at six o'clock, if that is all right to you.

　　如果對(duì)你方便的話，我將在六點(diǎn)前來拜訪。

　　第三， 咬文嚼字

　　1. in the neighborhood：在附近

　　e.g. She is a good aunt to all the children in the neighborhood.

　　她是街坊上所有孩子的好阿姨。

　　e.g. Nobody else in the neighborhood can help.

　　鄰居中找不到誰還能幫忙。

　　2. might as well：不妨，還是……的好

　　e.g. Since you have started the job , you might as well finish it.

　　既然你開了頭, 爽性把它做完吧。

　　e.g. We might as well have another talk with him.

　　不妨同他再談一次。
