    說明:
    這是工作場合常聽到的一個用語,意思是「結束當天的活動;下班了」。
     
    示範句:
  It's time to call it a day.
    下班時間到了。
     
  It's getting late, so we should call it a night.
    已經很晚了,所以我們應該結束今晚的工作。
     
   
call it a night「結束當晚的工作」。
     
 
    說明:
    常以 call on sb for sth 、 call on sb to V. 句型表示「要求(某 人)做(某事)」。
     
    示範句:
  He called on his friends for help.
    他要求朋友幫忙。
  = He called on his friends to help.
     
  I'll call on my uncle tomorrow.
    我明天要去拜訪我舅舅。
     
    call on 亦可解作 call(訪問)on(針對)= 拜訪某人, 但 call 作「訪問」屬於英式用法,
      如今較少單獨使用。若要表示「拜訪」其後通常必須加上介系詞 on 或 at, 有以下兩種用
      法:call on 人、call at 地方。
     
  Let's call at his place.
    我們到他家去拜訪。

  The Proud Heron (1)  
  驕傲的蒼鷺 (1)  
     
  There once was a proud heron. She thought she was the wisest and most beautiful heron in the world.  
  One morning, she stood beside a stream and looked into the water. She wanted to have a big, fat fish for breakfast. "There are a lot of fish here," she said, "but they're too small for me. I deserve only the biggest and the best!"  
  Just then, a bigger fish swam near the shore, but the heron still wasn't interested. "I wouldn't bother to open my beak for such a small fish!" she said.

  就在那時,一條較大的魚游近河岸,但是蒼鷺依舊不感興趣。她說:「我可不會費心為了這樣一條小魚張開嘴巴!」
