无人加分？
又学了一句：
I've come down with some kind of lurgie.
什么意思啊

Sorry wuyu, 我看你没回答，我就去查了一下：
"lurgie" (or maybe "lurgy"?) comes from the old British radio comedy The Goon Show There was an episode entitled "The Dreaded Lurgy" in which a horrible disease swept England。
The lurgy (or lurgi) is Commonwealth English slang for an unspecified contagious disease, generally one considered inconvenient and non-fatal with obvious symptoms, such as influenza or the common cold. Particularly violent strains are often referred to as "The Dreaded Lurgy". Phrases like "I've got the lurgy" are commonly heard when somebody is explaining why they cannot attend a social occasion, come to work, etc.
那么：
I've come down with some kind of lurgie.
是说“我生病了”。
对吧？

That's right. My colleague wrote it in an email to ask for a sick day off.
Thank you!

不牛，但可先说一个短语：
Let's play it by ear.
顺其自然；到时再说吧
Yeah N年前一个笔友给我的信里就用过这个EXP。可惜过去这么多年，不太会在适当时候想起这么说了。
If you don't use it, you lose it.

老兄，我来交流一下自己的学英语经验：
1。看晚上的sbs电影。手拿一本英汉词典。边看字幕边翻。学习，娱乐两不误。
2。看5点到7点半的新闻。个人认为sbs得最容易懂。abc也不错。
等你1和2都没问题了。看home a ...
5-7.30PM，正是我奔波在路上和奋斗在厨房的时间；
每每想起9点多还有SBS 的新闻重播时，俨然已经10点多了。
