I am fine. Thank you. (我不用了, 謝謝.)
這個例子讓我想起 斟酒的 一句英文

當你要幫別人斟酒 又不確定應該斟多少的量 通常就會要求對方認為足夠的時候說"停" 英文裡用 say when來表達 而對方真的就在斟夠了酒的時候說when喊停 (喊cut應該是不太道地的說法 :twisted: 說enough則是不耐煩 沒禮貌 :evil: :evil: :evil: )
A few more usages I've learnt in this situation:
倒飲料的人:
1. Tell me when.
2. Just say when.
拿杯子的人:
1. OK. That's enough.
2. That's good. Thanks.

If you know what I am talking about, do your best not to reminisce, it may drive you crazy.
Hey Wayne Chiang, you sound like a marriage adviser.
I seriously doubt that you are still single. :?

You asked me for the prize? C'mon! Did you forget that you still owe me a cup of coffee and a piece of cake? (Here is the evidence. Read the fifth and the eighth replies. Yours.)

See... I've always got a good memory when it comes to food. :twisted:

Oh, and ...

I don't mind if you switch it to a Heineken. It's really hot this summer. I heard chance is good that it's going to hit 40 degrees. So don't forget to bring me the bottle next meeting... your treat. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Heineken is not for fair ladies, it's too crude. How about something like "Tequila Sunrise" or "Frozen Magarita with salt rimmed"? :lol:

Hmm....Apparently, Wednesday meeting, or should I say , evening meeting is much more fun.
After all, it is too early to have Tequila in early Saturday afternoon...
