A: Hello.
B: Yes, who is it?
A: My name is Li Ming. I’m your neighbor down the street.
B: Okay. My name is John.
A: Nice to meet you.
B: Nice to meet you, too.
A: My son is your son's friend at school.
B: Oh yeah!
A: My boy would like to invite your son over to our house tonight for a sleepover.
B: No problem. What time should he come over?
A: How about 7 o’clock?
B: That’s great. Should he have dinner first?
A: No, there’s no need. I think the boys want to order pizza.
B: Then when should I pick my son up?
A: Don’t worry. I’ll bring him home after lunch tomorrow.
B: Great, thank you.
A: Oh! I forgot one more thing.
B: What’s that?
A: Are you going to the School Play next week?
B: Yes, I am.
A: Maybe we can carpool?
B: You're on!

3. pick up (用车)接。
4. School Play 就是学校学生演的话剧,国外很多学校每年都有一次话剧演出。

6. "You're on." 可以用来作为在对方提议后的热烈回应,表示“没问题,就这么说定了。” 此外还可用于对方向你挑衅、要求打赌的时候,为了不让自己被比下去,用 "You're on." 表示 “跟你赌了!”。
