Catch 附加条件

　　LL: There would be no catch! I treat you as a very close friend.

　　LH: 真的?我不信。不过，catch还可以怎么用? Larry, 能不能多给我几个例子?

　　LL: Sure. A catch is any benefit that comes with a drawback. For example, when you go on a web site, and they tell you you have a chance to win a laptop, there's usually a catch.

　　LH: 你是说，某些网站如果说你有机会赢一台手提电脑，通常都要回答问卷，订阅周刊等等好多好多条件，所以这些条件就是the catch吗?

　　LL: Exactly. So whenever someone tells you you've won money, or a laptop, don't believe them. Or else, you're going to have to expect a big catch that goes with the benefit.

　　LH: 难怪有一种说法是 "天下没有白吃的午餐"。 Everything that sounds too good has a catch to it.

　　LL: That's very true.

　　LH: 但我给你一千块钱绝对没有别的企图喔!There is no catch.

　　LL: But I'm willing to give you 10 grand!

　　LH: 那我也给你10 grand怎么样?

　　LL: Ten grand. That sounds a lot better...

　　LH: 那就好。对了，你等下有事吗?请我去吃牛排吧!

　　LL: You want me to treat you to steak? A minute ago you were only willing to give me one grand, and now you want me to treat you to steak. Ai, Li Hua!
