WAITER: Hello, I’ll be your waiter today. Can I start you off with
something to drink?
RALPH: Yes. I’ll have iced tea, please.
ANNA: And I’ll have lemonade.
WAITER: OK. Are you ready to order, or do you need a few minutes?
RALPH: I think we’re ready. I’ll have the tomato soup to start, and the
roast beef with mashed potatoes and peas.
WAITER: How do you want the beef — rare, medium, or well done?
RALPH: Well done, please.
ANNA: And I’ll just have the fish, with potatoes and a salad.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Can I start you off with something to drink? Notice how the question starts with 
“Can.” Since this is a yes/no question, the intonation rises at the end.
• And I’ll have lemonade. Notice how Anna stresses “I’ll” and “lemonade” to 
emphasize her choice.
• Are you ready to order, or do you need a few minutes? The word “or” signals 
a choice here. Notice the rising intonation on order, and the falling intonation on 
minutes (the first choice is “Are you ready to order?” and the second choice is “Do 
you need a few minutes?”).
• I’ll have the tomato soup to start, and the roast beef with mashed potatoes and
peas. Notice that “tomato soup,” “roast beef,” “mashed potatoes” and “peas” are 
stressed because the food order is the important information here. Notice also that 
“tomato soup,” “roast beef” and “mashed potatoes” are compound words. The stress 
falls on the second word in each phrase.
• Well done, please. Notice that the subject and verb are omitted in the response; only 
the necessary information is given.
• I’ll just have the fish. Anna says “just” here to mean that she does not want a starter.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天继续和大家聊一聊一些有趣的颜色短语。颜色我们一般用“深”和“浅”来形容。例如，浅蓝色，light blue，深蓝色，dark blue。如果一件衣服的颜色很多，或者很亮，我们可以说这件衣服颜色很鲜艳。“给点儿颜色看看”你知道是什么意思吗？它的意思是“让对方知道你的厉害，使对方感到害怕。”例如“他总是欺负我的好朋友，今天我要给他点儿颜色看看。”
我们来看看黑色有什么有意思的用法。第一个，黑心，一个人的心是黑色的，说明他的心很坏。例如“他是一个黑心商人，为了赚钱竟然卖过期的食品。”第二个，黑车。黑车不只是黑色的车，还有一个意思是“不合法经营的出租车”。如果一个人不小心上了黑车，那是很危险的。第三个，“拉黑”，拉到黑名单。如果你的微信上有一个朋友，你不想再收到他的信息，那你可以把他拉黑。最后一个，“黑脸”。如果我们说：“他黑着脸”，意思是他很不高兴。
接着我们来看看白色。第一个，小白，我们说一个人是小白，意思是他没有经验。例如“我刚接触这个工作，还是个小白，要向各位多多学习。”第二个，“白”加动词或者形容词。例如，“我去他公司找他，结果他不在，我白跑一趟了。”“本来以为他能陪我过生日，结果他要加班，我白高兴一场。这里的“白”是没有结果的意思。
哪个用法你觉得最有意思呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
