Notes 注释
1 Remember the colloquial phrase to describe being a little bit late, especially if someone is busy, or something is delaying them, such as traffic, e.g.: He’s running a bit late / He’s running a bit late; The traffic is heavy so I’m running late / The traffic is heavy so I’m running late.
记住描述某人有点迟到时用的口语化短语，尤其是当某人很忙或者他被某事(例如交通阻塞)所耽搁的时候。例如：He’s running a bit late /他可能会晚到一会；The traffic is heavy so I’m running late /交通太拥挤了，所以我要迟到一会了。
2 If you are not sure and want to check if you’ve already done something, or met someone, or been somewhere, you can say: Have we met him before? / Have we met him before? ;Have we been to that restaurant before? / Have we been to that restaurant before?
如果你不肯定你是否已经做了某事或者见了某人，或者去过某个地方，而你想验证一下，你可以说：Have we met him before? / 我们以前见过他吗？； Have we been to that restaurant before? /我们以前去过那家餐馆吗？
