不等你了英語怎麼說

wait around for you 可真不是說我在附近等你,理解錯就白等了

五一節前的最後一個工作日,外教 Tony 本來約好了一個供貨商談合作,但吃午飯的時候他一個人就氣呼呼地回來了,“I spent the whole morning waited around for them, but they never came。”

呵呵,聰明的你可能一下就看懂了, Tony 又被人家給放鴿子了~今天要講的一個實用的短語就是“wait around (wait about)”, 猛一看就是“在附近等”,實際上它是“無所事事地乾等、空等”的意思,這裡的 around 和“hang around 閒蕩、徘徊”裡的意思如出一轍。所以,剛才 Tony 是在說“我傻等了他們一上午,但他們一直沒來。”
