姐妹倆去教堂，路上還問 Do you think, we'll make new friends（你覺得我們能交到新朋友嗎）；爸爸突然出現，媽媽只說 I've gotta settle things with your father（我得跟你爸把話說清楚）。到了教堂，還真有小夥伴邀請她們去家裡玩。想聊「交朋友」「被邀請」這類日常場面，這幾句最好用。

❝ 獨白 · 10 句 教堂裡的經文朗讀
從「何等慈愛」推到「唯有藉基督」，短句遞進，替在場的人安放身份。
姐妹倆盼著在教堂交到新朋友，路上問 Do you think, we'll make new friends（你覺得我們能交到新朋友嗎）。可爸爸突然出現，媽媽只說 I've gotta settle things with your father（我得跟你爸把話說清楚），讓她們先坐班車回家。到了教堂，牧師講 we are called children of god（我們被稱為神的兒女）；散場後格特魯德跟霍普寒暄，還打聽有沒有熨衣服的活兒，說 I'd appreciate the work（有活兒給我做就太好了）。孩子們問西爾維婭的腿怎麼了，聽說是小兒麻痺，就有人問 Can they come with us?（她們能跟我們一起去嗎），請姐妹倆去家裡玩。想交朋友、想被邀請，這幾句都用得上。

“Do you think, we'll make new friends?”
你覺得，我們能交到新朋友嗎？
一句就問出初到陌生地的期待和不安，轉學搬家都用得上。
Do you think we'll ...?
換學校、搬新城市時，可以這樣問同伴；正式場合別用。
Reckon we'll make new friends? ／ Think we'll fit in here?
口語
think 後稍停，we'll 連讀，句尾語調上揚。
Do you think we'll find our way around? 你覺得我們能摸清路嗎？
“They haven't even had a chance to make friends down here yet.”
她們在這邊連交朋友的機會都還沒有呢。
用 even 和 yet 把母親的愧疚壓進一句否定，比講道理更重。
They haven't even had a chance to ...
替還沒適應的人爭一句公道時可以用；別拿它當客套話。
They never got a real chance to settle in. ／ She hasn't had a chance to try yet.
中性
even 重讀，haven't 輕帶，句尾 yet 放平。
They haven't even had a chance to prove themselves yet. 他們連證明自己的機會都還沒有。
“You wanna come? We've got some friends coming over...”
你們想來嗎？我們家正有朋友要過來……
隨口一問就把人請進門，wanna 和 coming over 全是口語溫度。
You wanna come? We've got ... coming over.
熟人之間順口相邀時用；對長輩或正式場合別這麼隨便。
Wanna join us? ／ Come hang out, some friends are dropping by.
口語
wanna 讀成一詞，coming over 連讀，問句尾音上揚。
You wanna come? We've got a game going at four. 你來嗎？我們四點有場球。
“I've gotta settle things with your father.”
我得跟你爸把事說清楚。
一句平靜的交代，把家庭要炸開的裂縫輕輕帶過。
I've gotta settle things with someone.
要跟人把矛盾攤開談時能用；對小孩說這種話別太突然，容易嚇著人。
I need to have it out with your father. ／ Your father and I have to talk.
口語
gotta 輕快，settle things 連讀，your father 放慢。
I've gotta settle things with my landlord this week. 這週我得跟房東把事說清楚。
See what love the father has given us... and we are called children of god. And so we are! But how does a child, come on to his father? How does the father, come on to the child? Christ said: I am the way. The truth, the live and love. Come on to the father, but by me. Our families, our fathers, our mothers. It is only through Christ, that we find our father. And it's only through Christ, that we find each other.
你看，天父賜給我們的愛是何等的大…… 我們竟被稱為神的兒女。 我們確實是的！ 可是孩子要怎樣才能親近自己的父親呢？ 父親又要怎樣親近自己的孩子呢？ 基督說：我就是道路、真理、生命和愛。 要到父那裡去，只能藉著我。 我們的家，我們的父親，我們的母親。 唯有藉著基督，我們才能找到父親。 也只有藉著基督，我們才能找到彼此。

下一章 · 02for a living靠這個謀生這場戲：女孩們串門聊男友常表示「據說、按理說」，也可以表示「應該」。臺詞 They're supposed to be cute 就是「聽說都挺帥的」；口語裡常弱讀成 supposed to，不是「被假定」。
就是 make new friends。臺詞 Do you think, we'll make new friends? 是姐妹倆在車上小聲商量。make friends 強調「結識」這個過程，不指認識很久的老朋友。
可以說 come over，臺詞 We've got some friends coming over 就是「我們家正有朋友要過來」。come over 比 visit 口語、隨意，多指到家裡坐坐、玩一會兒。
口語裡也常說 get a chance to 或 get to do something。臺詞 They haven't even had a chance to make friends down here yet 就是「她們在這邊連交朋友的機會都還沒有」。
是的。be used to something 表示「習慣了某事」。臺詞 she's used to it 就是「她早就習慣了」。注意別和 used to do（過去常常）搞混，兩個意思不一樣。
