4．I Can’t Help You Out 我帮不上你的忙 

 

 

A: Hello. 

 

B: Hello, Tom. This is Don. How are you? 

 

A: Oh, hi, Don. Just great. How have you been? 

 

B: Fine. Listen, Jerry and I wanted to go to a movie tomorrow night, but we don’t have a way to get there. If you drive, we’ll buy the tickets, How about it? 

 

A: Well, it sounds like fun, but actually I’ve really got a lot of homework to do. 

 

B: Oh, come on, Tom. It’ll be fun. It’s only a few hours. It’ll help you relax. You’ll study better! 

 

A: I really can’t. I’ve got an English exam on Monday and a book report due on Tuesday that I’m really getting nervous about. I don’t think I’d enjoy it much. But thanks a lot for thinking of me. Sorry I can’t help you out. 

 

B: Oh, don’t worry about it. Maybe next time. Good luck on your exam. We’ll be thinking of you! 

 

A: Thanks. See you. 

 

B: Ok, Bye.
