Hi, I’m Sarah. Welcome to The Daily English Show.
Today we’re doing another scene from Scent of a Woman. This is the scene where Charlie and Frank are in a restaurant and there’s a woman sitting at a table by herself and so they go over and talk to her.
And Frank says this: Excuse me, senorita, do you mind if we join you? I'm feeling you're being neglected.
Senorita is a Spanish word – not pronounced like that in Spanish, I’m sure.
It says: a form of address for an unmarried woman, corresponding to miss.
I think he’s using that word because it sounds romantic.
People also use French words like that – like Madame, Monsieur, Mademoiselle.
And she says: Well, I'm expecting somebody.
And he says: Instantly?
And she says: No, but any minute now.
Any minute now is an idiom which means: very soon.
STICK NEWS
Kia Ora, in Stick News today, an American man is in trouble after lying about seeing sharks.
Martha’s Vineyard is an Island in the United States. In 1974, the movie Jaws was filmed on the island.
Recently a 60-year-old man said he saw sharks off the island.
Officials closed the beach but later they found out he was lying.
The man was charged with disorderly conduct.
And that was Stick News for Tuesday the 15th of July.
Kia Ora.
