Lesson 139  Is that you, John?  是你吗，约翰？

Listen to the tape then answer this question. Which John Smith does Graham Turner think he is talking to?
听录音，然后回答问题。格雷厄姆·特纳以为他在和哪一个约翰·史密斯通话？

GRAHAM TURNER：Is that you, John?
JOHN SMITH：Yes, speaking.
GRAHAM TURNER：Tell Mary we'll be late for dinner this evening.
JOHN SMITH：I'm afraid I don't understand.
GRAHAM TURNER：Hasn't Mary told you? She invited Charlotte and me to dinner this evening. I said I would be at your house at six o'clock, but the boss wants me to do some extra work. I'll have to stay at the office. I don't know when I'll finish. Oh, and by the way, my wife wants to know if Mary needs any help.
JOHN SMITH：I don't know what you're talking about.
GRAHAM TURNER：That is John Smith, isn't it?
JOHN SMITH：Yes, I'm John Smith.
GRAHAM TURNER：You are John Smith, the engineer, aren't you?
JOHN SMITH：That's right.
GRAHAM TURNER：You work for the Overseas Engineering Company, don't you?
JOHN SMITH：No, I don't. I'm John Smith the telephone engineer and I'm repairing your telephone line.
