I phoned my local radio station today. When the presenter answered he said, “Congratulations on being our first caller, all you have to do us answer my next question correctly to win the grand prize.” Wahoo!” I shouted in delight. “It’s a common knowledge question,” he said. “Feel confident?” Yes,” I replied. “What have I won?”我打进当地一个电台的电话。 主持人说：“恭喜你，你是第一个打进电话的，你只需要回答我 接下来的一个问题，就能赢得大奖。” “太棒了！”我高兴地说。 “一个常识性的问题”他说道：“你有信心吗？” “有，”我回答道：“我的奖品是什么？”
