上一集說(shuō)到5名室友登報(bào)尋找一名新的合租伙伴來(lái)分擔(dān)房租。許多人應(yīng)征，但最合適的人選是Jason Harman- Equinox酒吧的老板。不久，大家發(fā)現(xiàn)Jason好像有什么事在隱瞞…

發(fā)現(xiàn)室友不大對(duì)勁,要說(shuō)些什么?

1. 可以先問問其他人有沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)他的問題：

Has Yummy found anything out about Jason?

Yummy有沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)Jason的問題?

2. 提出自己的疑慮：

I’ve noticed lately that he hasn’t been his usual loud self.

我最近發(fā)現(xiàn)他有些反常。

3. 直接刨根問底:

what’s up? Why the long faces?

怎么了?干嗎板著臉?

4. 表達(dá)自己的關(guān)心:

I hope that everything is ok.

我希望一切都好/我希望沒什么事。
