A：Hello, Harry. Where are you off to?
你好，哈里，你到哪儿去？
B：I'm going home to study my English lesson.
我回家去温习英语课。
A：English lesson?
英语课？
B：Yes. I'm trying to learn a little more.I don't always understand what people say, and they don't always understand me.

A：What're you learning about?
你在学习什么呢？
B：Well. For instance, some words in a sentence are stressed.The time between two of these stressed words is always about the same. No matter how many words there are.This is what makes English sound jerky. First you go very fast, and then perhaps you slow up.

哦，我倒从来没有注意到这点。给我举个例子。

可以。这儿有一句我们在上课时应记住的话："You told me last night not to let you argue me out of getting you up on time。"在说"not to let you argue me out of getting you up on time"这段话的时间就和说"you told me last night"这句话一样长。
