Mr. Li: I am sorry for damaging your car, sir.
Benjamin: Don't worry about it. Just leave it to the insurance companies.
Mr. Li: The car park in this community is over crowded, isn't it?
Benjamin: Yeah, more and more cars. People should try to take public transportation.
Mr. Li: There aren't enough buses in this city, are there?
Benjamin: Yeah, sometimes I really feel like writing a letter to the mayor.
Mr. Li: That's too much of hassle. We just want a little bigger parking space.
Benjamin: Have you taken this to the property management, yet?
Mr. Li: No. but I'm gonna. You know, several months ago, I backed into red Honda when parking.

Benjamin: Is the car owner a lady with deafening voice?
Mr. Li: Yes! How do you know that?

聽看學李先生：真抱歉弄壞你的車，先生。
本傑明：別擔心。讓保險公司來處理吧。
李先生：我們小區的停車場太擁擠了，不是嗎？
本傑明：是啊，私家車越來越多了。人們應該試着使用公共交通。
李先生：我們市裏沒有那麼多公交車，不是嗎？
本傑明：是啊，有時我真想給市長寫信。
李先生：那倒不至於。我們只要有一個大點的停車場就好了。
本傑明：你跟小區管理處反映過這事兒嗎？
李先生：沒有。但我正有此打算。幾個月前，我停車時，倒車倒到一輛紅色豐田車上去了。
本傑明：在哪兒？路上嗎？
李先生：不，就在這個停車場。那輛車就停在你現在的地方。我把它的左後視鏡給撞碎了。
本傑明：那輛車的車主是不是一個嗓門很大的女人？
李先生：是啊！你怎麼知道的？
本傑明：那是我太太。
李先生：你是說……

語法小結 Grammar反意疑問句
反意疑問句由兩部分組成，前面是陳述句，後面是簡短的問句，如果前面是肯定，後面一般爲否定，如果前面是否定，則後面多爲肯定。
1.句中有 I am，反意疑問應該是aren't I, 而不是am not I 或 amn't I
I am right, aren't I? 我是對的，不是嗎？
2. everything 和 nothing 作爲陳述句的主語是單數，因此反意疑問句的主語要用it, 值得大家注意的是，nothing 做主語時，反意疑問句中的動詞要用肯定形式。
Nothing is wrong, is it？沒有什麼錯誤，是嗎？
3.主語爲everyone, everybody, anyone, nobody 或no one 時，反意疑問句中的主語用they，要注意nobody 和 no one 是否定詞，因此反意疑問句同樣應該用肯定的形式
Nobody knows it, do they? 沒人知道這個，是嗎？
4.如果陳述句部分有no, never, hardly, scarcely, rarely, seldom 等，那麼，陳述句本身就是否定的，所以要接一個肯定的反意疑問句
She has never been there, has she? 她從來沒去過那裏，是嗎？
5.如果陳述句的動詞是wish,那麼反意疑問句中要用may
I wish to go there with you, may I? 我想和你一起去，行嗎？
6.包括聽話人在內時，let's的反意疑問句要用shall we。反之，反意疑問句要用will you
Let's go, shall we? 我們走吧，好嗎？
Let us go, will you? 大家走吧，好嗎？
