本篇關鍵句
◎Hey, listen, I’ve got to run.嘿,聽著,我得走了。
當你與某人正在講電話,突然想到你有事得先掛電話,除了用 "I've got to run." 外,也可說 "I've got to go."。此外,還可這麼說:
I have to get going. Can I call you back later?(我必須走了。我能晚點再打給你嗎?)
比較婉轉、禮貌的說法是:
Would you mind if we talked about this later? I've got something to see to.(你介意我們晚點討論這件事嗎?我有事要處理。)
