Correcting and Explaining in Conversation


Danny: You look like you need to relax. 


Sybil: Excuse me? 


Danny: What I mean is, you look like you could use some R and R. 


Sybil: I didn’t know I looked tired and worn out. 


Danny: No, what I’m trying to say is, people need leisure time once in a while. 


Sybil: Yes, that’s certainly true. 


Danny: The human body needs downtime to recuperate 1 and to regenerate 2


Sybil: Okay, I guess that’s true. 


Danny: Let me rephrase that. People need time away from work to get ready for more work. 


Sybil: Are you saying you’re planning on giving me more work? 


Danny: No, no, no. Let me put it another way. It’s imperative 3 that you don’t work this weekend. 


Sybil: Why? What’s going on this weekend? Are you saying that something big is happening in the department this weekend and I’m being left out? 


Danny: No, not at all. What I’m trying to say is... [sigh]...would you like to go out with me Saturday night? 


Sybil: Oh, I guess I didn’t catch your drift earlier. You’re asking me out for Saturday. 


Danny: Yes, I am. 


Sybil: Then, I accept. 


Danny: Really? 


Sybil: Yes, as long as you promise never to ask me out on a first date ever again!
