Let me think about that while we hear some more examples.

Examples

When you get there, give us a bell and tell us what it's like.

Just give us a bell and I'll tell you how to get here.

After our blind date, he told me to give him a bell but every time I call him, his phone diverts to voicemail.

Give somebody a bell 的意思就是“给某人打电话”。但是在英式英语中，人们为什么说“give us a bell”，而不是“give me a bell”？

In informal English, we tend to say 'us' even when there's just one of us – just me. But of course 'us' can also mean more than one person.

在日常生活对话中，英国人有时会用“us”来表示“me”，当然根据说话的具体情况“us”也可以代表“我们”。But this weekend you want me to call you because you'll be on your own and you've got nothing else to do – so you want to spend the day sightseeing with me?

Yes. Just give us a bell and I'll be there.

Hmm, well, sorry I can't – I haven't got your number.

Well, I could give you a bell. What's your number again?

Ah, saved by the bell. Sorry, got to go, maybe next time. See ya.

Oh. Bye.
