上一集說到5名室友登報尋找一名新的合租伙伴來分擔房租。許多人應征，但最合適的人選是Jason Harman- Equinox酒吧的老板。不久，大家發(fā)現(xiàn)Jason好像有什么事在隱瞞…
發(fā)現(xiàn)室友不大對勁,要說些什么?
1. 可以先問問其他人有沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)他的問題：
Has Yummy found anything out about Jason?
Yummy有沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)Jason的問題?
2. 提出自己的疑慮：
I’ve noticed lately that he hasn’t been his usual loud self.
我最近發(fā)現(xiàn)他有些反常。
3. 直接刨根問底:
what’s up? Why the long faces?
怎么了?干嗎板著臉?
4. 表達自己的關(guān)心:
I hope that everything is ok.
我希望一切都好/我希望沒什么事。
