Eztalk美语【259】 you're not to blame 不能怪你

Holly: You know, Taylor's been in the hospital for a couple of days.

Yi-jun: [Sad] And I'm the one who put him there with my football moves.

Holly: But you're not to blame for them keeping him there.

Yi-jun: Yeah, what was all that stuff about running tests about anyway?

Holly: I'm not sure, but we can find out. I bought some crosswords to keep him busy.

Yi-jun: Great, then let's go visit him. I want to give him some flowers, too, to say sorry.

让某人有事情做

The TV should keep Junior busy while we get a little more comfortable.

football moves

足球动作。move是指「动作」，因为跟运动相关的动作常是一连串的，所以大部分前面加运动名称时，都会用复数型。而在上期里，怡君为了接球撞倒泰勒，造成他送医急救，所以她才相当自责

I'm practicing football moves all day Saturday.

我星期六整天都在练习足球动作。

荷莉：你知道吗，泰勒已经住院好几天了。

怡君：(难过)而我正是那位没接好美式足球，害他住院的人。

荷莉：但那些人不让他出院，可不能怪妳。

怡君：对呀，那堆有的没的检验是要干嘛用的?

荷莉：我也不太清楚，不过我们可以去搞清楚。我买了些填字游戏，让他有事情忙。

怡君：不错喔，那我们去探望他吧。我也想送些花给他，跟他道歉。
