英语口语情景对话 GETTING SOMETHING FIXED

(between customer and repairman)

Laurance- How long do you think it'll take to fix it?

Soony- Hard to tell. Sometimes we can find the problem

right away and sometimes it may take an hour or

two.

Laurance- Should I wait or come back later?

Soony- Suit yourself, but it's probably better to come

back later.

Laurance- You will get it fixed today, won't you?

Soony- I don't see any problem. We should have it ready

for you by three at the latest. But, better call

before you come.

Laurance- Okay. Thanks a lot.

注解:

suit yourself=do as you please

by three at the latest=not later than three o'clock,类似的短语还有:

at the most/at the earliest/at the least/at the best/at the worst 等.
