Examples

例句

So I'll cook and you wash up? Hmm, I've got your number; you're just going to Watch TV all evening.

所以，我做飯你洗碗？嗯，我知道你想幹什麼；你想整個晚上都看電視。

You can't fool me, I've got your number — you're never going to pay me back.

你騙不了我，我知道你打的什麼主意，你從來就沒打算還我錢。

Watch out, he's got your number — he knows what you're up to.

小心，他知道你的計劃了，他知道你打算做什麼。

Feifei: OK Rob — if you say 'I've got your number' it means you understand what someone it trying to do or why they are behaving in a certain way.

菲菲：好，羅布，這個短語的意思是你知道某人打算做什麼，或者是爲什麼他們會這樣做。

Rob: Exactly — it's not about having your telephone number. I knew when you asked me if I was rushing home you were after something.

羅布：沒錯，這和有你的電話號碼無關。當你問我是不是着急回家時，我就知道你在計劃着什麼。

Feifei: What — so I could sneak out early to go for a drink? Honestly, who do you think I am?!

菲菲：什麼，你以爲我會爲了出去喝一杯而提前溜走？說實話，你把我當成什麼人了？！

Rob: Well it sounded like you were planning something... but maybe I misunderstood you. You wouldn't leave me here alone, would you, Feifei? Feifei? Feifei? Oh she's gone. Now where did I put her phone number... Bye.

羅布：聽起來你之前在計劃什麼，不過可能我誤會了你的意思。你不會把我一個人留在演播室的，對吧菲菲？菲菲？菲菲？哦，她已經走了。我把她的電話號碼放在哪裏了……再見。
