Englishpod第三十一期（听力音频）
A: Hello, Samantha speaking.
B: Hi Samantha. This is Angela calling.
A: Oh, hi Angela, what’s up?
B: I’m just calling about our meeting today. I wonder, is it
possible to reschedule our appointment in the afternoon? I
have a bit of an emergency that I need to take care of.
A: Let me see, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem...
B: I’m really sorry, I hope it doesn’t inconvenience you
too much, it’s just this thing came up, and ...
A: Angela, you know what, I can’t make it to our meeting,
either. Why don’t we postpone it to tomorrow afternoon at
the same time?
B: Sounds great. See you tomorrow.
C: Angela..Angela, look up! See that lady over there who
is trying on a red leather jacket? Isn’t that Samantha?
B: What? No wonder she told me she couldn’t make it to
the meeting, oh, no, I think she saw me...
Next part is 重点句型，单词讲解
1. I’m just calling about 我打电话来是为了
e.g. "I call about my bill," said Mr. Oeslogge.
“我来收欠帐，”奥斯拉格先生说。
2.too much of a problem 太麻烦了
e.g. It's not too much of a problem to have such a breakfast once in a while, but it is certain the Chinese couldn't stand to eat it every day.
这样的早餐偶尔吃一两次问题不大，但天天吃，中国人肯定受不了。
3. inconvenience 麻烦，打扰
这里为什么要说这个词呢，刚开始我还以为文本内容错了，以为inconvenience名词 应该改为 inconvenient， 后来查了一下，发现这个词竟然也可以作为v.意为麻烦，打扰了。
e.g. He promised to be quick so as not to inconvenience them any further.
他答应快一些，以免给他们带来更多不便
如果有小伙伴也是刚刚知道的，请给我点赞，我想看一下这一发现帮助了多少可爱的你们
4.make it to our meeting 参加会议
我们想表达不能参加或者不能去做某事时，我们就可以用到这个表达。
e.g. He hadn't been able to make it to our dinner.
他没能如约参加我们的晚宴。
