93.Does it keep long? 可以保存吗？
94.Don‘t be so fussy! 别挑剔了！
95.Don‘t count to me! 别指望我！
96.Don‘t get me wrong! 你搞错了！ ----- 请别误解我
用法：用于担心对方误解时。
譬如说，我们都有和别人争辩的经验，当对方提出他的看法或意见时，自己的虽然和他的大致相同，但总觉得对方有些看法难免有失平衡，或太过极端，而不表示同意，想再重申自己的看法或立场时，可以直接以" Don't get me wrong."
做开场白，然后接着把自己的看法陈述出来。 如果你想用"Don't misunderstand me."亦未尝不可。
Scene 1
Mother: Don't get me wrong. I think Kevin is a very nice person,
but you have to admit he isn't very responsible.
Beth: I guest you are right. He's got a lot of growing up to do.
母亲： 你不要误会我的意思。我想凯文是个很好的人，不过你必须承认他不很负责任。
贝丝： 您说得不错，他要长大还得有好多事要学习。
Scene 2
Marcia: Don't get me wrong. I like Linda a lot as a friend,
but I don't want my brother to get hooked on her.
Terry: I know what you mean. She's so pushy sometimes.
马西亚： 你不要误会，我很喜欢琳达做我的朋友，不过我不要我弟弟被她勾搭上了。
特里： 你的意思我明白，她这人有时候"侵略性"就是太强了一点。
97.You're telling me. 说得没错。
用法：用于较亲朋友间，表示同意他的看法。
使用地位：平等或是上级对下级说话。
Scene 1:
Betty: That was a tough test. 贝蒂：好难的考试啊！
Bob: You're telling me! 鲍勃：就是呀！
Scene 2:
Betty: Our new teacher's so good-looking. 贝蒂：我们的新老师长得很好看。
Jane: You're telling me. 珍妮：就是啊！
Scene 3:
Bob: It's really humid. 鲍勃：湿气很重哟！
Betty: You're telling me. 贝蒂：是啊！
注释： You are telling me 不适宜用在像一流大饭店这样的场合，故在此种情形下，服务员和客人对话应该如此：
Guest: It's really cold, isn't it?
Waiter: It certainly is./ Yes, it is.
98.Just about --- 差不多了
用法：表示"不是全部，但大部分都......"
A: Are you through typing my paper? 我的报告打完了吗？
B: Just about. I only have three more pages to go.差不多了，还差三页。
She is just about finished her major project.她差不多快完成她的主要研究計畫。
I am just about to head out the door. 我差不多要出門了。
书已经定到最后一章了。你说，书马上就要完成了：
The book is just about finished.
99.There you go. --- 喏，行了
用法：表示对方问题已解决。
A: My zipper won't zip.
B: Let me see. There you go. It was just caught on a string.
A: 我的拉链拉不上去。
B: 我来看看。喏，行了，只是被线卡住了。
100.Like what? ----- 比方说......
Tom: What kind of food do you like?
Betty: I like simple food.
Tom: Like what?
Betty: well, Japanese is my favourite.
