You are never going to believe this! Someone took my lunch delivery!

你绝对不会相信!有人拿走了我的午餐外卖!

How could that happen? Usually the delivery person calls you when they arrive.

怎么会发生这样的事情?通常情况下,外卖员到了都会给你打电话的。

The delivery person rang my phone but I didn't notice because I was in a meeting. When I called the restaurant they sent me a picture of where my order was left down stairs. I ran down to get it but it wasn't there.

外卖员给我打了电话,但我没注意到因为我正在开会。当我打电话给餐厅询问时,他们给我发了一张我点的外卖放在楼下的图片。我下去拿时,外卖已经不在了。

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. This is why I don't select the contactless delivery option when I order take out. I prefer the delivery person to hand my order to me directly that way there are no mishaps.

噢,很遗憾听到这个。这就是为什么我定外卖时不选择非接触式送餐。我更喜欢送货员直接把外卖交到我手上,这样就不会有任何麻烦了。

I can't believe the lack of integrity people have these days. Why couldn't you pay a measly $10 for your own lunch you good for nothing thief!?

真不敢相信现在有人这么不讲诚信。为什么不自己花10美元买一顿午餐呢,真是个一无是处的小偷!?

Well, maybe it was a mistake. Did you ever think that someone in the building grabbed your lunch by accident confusing it with their own order? As you know most people in the office order delivery at lunch time.

好吧,也没准这是个误会。你有没有想过大楼里的某个人不小心把你的午餐和他们自己定的弄混了?你知道的,办公室里的大多数人都在午餐时间定外卖。

I don't think about that. That makes me feel a little better but I still wish we had a receptionist down stairs or our own delivery lockers, so this kind of thing wouldn't happen.

我没想过这个。这让我感觉好点了,但我还是希望公司楼下能有一个接待员,或是我们自己的储物柜。那这样的事情就不会发生了。

Yeah, wouldn't that be great!

是呀,那就再好不过了!

Grammar语法

The suffix "-less"

In today's dialogue, we learn that Mina never chooses "contactless delivery". In other words, she wants the delivery person to hand the food directly to her. The suffix "-less" means "without" and it can be placed at the end of nouns to make adjectives.

在今天的对话中,我们了解到Mina从来没有选择过“非接触式送餐”。换句话说,她希望送餐员直接把食物递给她。后缀“-less”表示“无、不”,它可以放在名词的末尾构成形容词。

As you can see, it's a pretty easy-to-use grammar point and a great way to make your language a little more varied and complex. Here are some more examples of adjectives that you can make with this suffix.

正如你所看到的,这是一个非常容易使用的语法点,也是一个让你的语言更加多样化和复杂的好方法。这里有一些形容词的例子,你可以用这个后缀:

Useless: 无用的

Thoughtless: 欠考虑的

Wireless: 无线的

His thoughtless actions hurt her.

他轻率的行为伤害了她。

I want to buy some wireless headphones for when I work out at the gym.

我想买无线耳机,在健身房锻炼的时候用。

My parents think that studying history is useless. They want me to be a doctor.

我父母认为学习历史是没用的,他们想让我成为一名医生。
