Hello English learners（学习者） and welcome back（在后） to EnglishPod. My name is Marco. And I'm Erica. How are you Erica? Marco, I'm doing really well today. You're excited?

  Uh-huh. We've got a great lesson for everyone. Yes, we have a really common situation where we're going to use real English, right? Yep. Everyday（每天的） English, English that people really use. And that's what we want you to learn.

  What are we talking about today specifically（明确地）? Today we have a really common situation that is a little bit（一点） embarrassing（ 令人难堪的）. All（ 全部） right, an embarrassing（ 令人难堪的） situation. So let's listen to the dialogue for the first time and it's going to be kind（种类） of fast. Yeah, but don't worry（ 担忧） if you don't understand everything because after 10 minutes you'll understand everything. Perfect（完成式）.

  All right, let's listen. Nick（刻痕）, how's it going? Oh, hey. What are you doing in this neighborhood（街区）? Do you live around here? Actually（实际上）, my office is right around the corner（角）.

  It was great to meet you last week at the conference（会议）. I really enjoyed our conversation about foreign（外国的） investment（投资）. Yeah, yeah, it was really interesting. You know, I'm in a bit of a hurry（ 匆忙）, but here's my card. We should definitely（一定地） meet up again and continue（继续） our discussion（讨论）. Sure（ 〈口语〉 的确）, you still have my contact（接触） details, right?

  You know what? This is really embarrassing, but your name has just slipped（滑动） my mind（头脑）. Can you remind（提醒） me? Sure. My name is Anna Faris. Don't worry about it.

  It happens to me all the time. I'm terrible with names too. Wow（哇）, Nick（刻痕） forgot her name. Yeah, that's happened to me a couple（夫妇） of times and I'm going to tell you about it a little bit（一点） later. Okay（好）. All right.

  Well, let's start with our three language takeaways（外卖食品）. So our first word on our language takeaway is "in a bit of a hurry." In a bit of a hurry. In a bit of a hurry. In a bit of a hurry. So Nick was in a hurry.

  Yeah, that's right. This is a great phrase. So let's listen to three examples of how you can use this phrase. Example 1. Can you drive faster? I'm in a bit of a hurry.

  Example 2. I can't talk right now. I'm in a bit of a hurry. Example 3. I'm in a bit of a hurry. So I'll check these files（文件） later.

  Okay, so it's clear（清晰的） now. Basically（基本上）, it means（意味） that you don't have time. You're moving really quickly. Okay, perfect. Now（现在） let's look at our second language takeaway（外卖食品） word and its contact（接触） details. Contact details.

  Contact details. Contact details. So what are your contact details? Basically, this is the information you can find on your business card. All right, so we have like（喜欢） our name, our telephone number, your email address, perhaps（也许） your mobile（运动的） phone number. So all the useful information so people can get in touch（触） with you.

  Yep, so people can phone you or email you. Okay, so contact details. Great. Okay, so our third word is slipped my mind. Slipped my mind. Slipped my mind.

  Slipped my mind. So this is a funny phrase. It's kind of strange（陌生的）, right? Yeah, slipped my mind. It sounds very weird（怪异的）. Exactly（确切地）.

  Okay, so now we're going to listen to two examples of this phrase. Try and see if you can figure（ 认为） out what it means（意味）. Example one.
