相關實用句型解析
1. 與某人有（正式的）約會。
主詞 + have / has an appointment + with + 人
例：I have an appointment with Ms. Hsu at nine-thirty a.m. today.
（我和許小姐今天早上 9 點 30 分有約。）
例：Jason: Hi, Kathy. How about having a dinner tonight?
Kathy: I'd love to, but I can't go tonight. I have an important appointment with our customer tonight. Can I take a rain check?
（Jason：嗨，Kathy。今晚一起吃個飯如何？
Kathy：我很想和你去，不過今晚不行。
我今晚跟我們的客戶有個重要的約會。可以下次再去嗎？）
※ 小叮嚀：
通常與某人有較正式的約會或約定時，可使用「have / has an appointment + with + somebody」。另外，如果是指一般情侶間、或者男女之間的約會，則可直接使用「have / has a date」來表示，例如：Roger is going to have a date with Carol this evening.（Roger 今晚和 Carol 有個約會。）
2. 搭電梯到…樓。
take the elevator + to + 第幾樓
例：Take the elevator over there to the tenth floor（在那邊搭電梯到 10 樓。）
例：If you want to pick up a suitable dress, you can take the elevator to the second floor of the department store.
（假如你想挑選一件合適的服裝，你可以搭電梯到百貨公司的二樓）
※ 小叮嚀：
搭電梯的用法與搭車的用法雷同，可用「take」來表達「搭乘」的意思。另外別忘了！在述說第幾樓時，須用序詞的 方式呈現，不可直接用數字加上樓層哦！例如：到第三樓，應說成「to the third floor」
3. 從… 得知…的消息
hear from + someone + that + 子句
例：I've heard from Vanessa Lin of our company that you are interested in our products.（我從我們公司的 Vanessa 林那邊，得知你對我們的產品很感興趣。）
例：I've heard from my aunt that you are pregnant.
（我從我阿姨那邊得知你懷孕的消息。）
※ 小叮嚀：
當你想說明「從某人身上得到某消息」時，可以用「hear from ＋ someone ＋ that ＋子句」，並於子句中說明你所得知的消息。另外「hear from」也可以當成「從某人那裡收到信」的意思，例如：I haven't heard from you for a long time.（我好長一段時間沒收到你的消息了。）
