【给毛象的各位一个英语小测试】
故事背景：系里一个教授要邀请我们几个研究生周五一起去吃午饭，今天给我们发来邮件。邮件原文是：Please may we meet at my office at 12:30 and walk to the restaurant. I realise that some of you will be coming from the other side of the campus after xxx class, so we will for you. The nice thing about this restaurant is that they do not take reservations so we cannot be late.
我看完邮件转头问M：她啥意思？if it doesn’t take reservations why can’t we be late???
M: ????? That’s exactly what she’s saying. You cannot be late since there is no reservations.
我：what??? How can we be late if there is no reservations?
M: ??? No we cannot because there is no reservations!!!
我：？？？？？
然后以上对话重复8遍之后我突然悟了，明白confusion到底在哪里。请问时间线上各位聪慧的友邻看明白了吗？😂😂😂
