國中英語基測出現過 a little 的考題。

Sarah: Hey, try this! It took me two hours to buy the cheesecake.

Justin: Why two hours? The store is only one block away from your place.

Sarah: I know! But the line was terribly long, and a man behind me was trying to cut in. So I took some time to “take care of” him.

Justin: You hit him?

Sarah: Please! I’m a friendly, sweet lady! I just talked to him, well, maybe a little loudly. And … I used some words that were a little strong. When I was “talking” to the man. I didn’t know I was off the line. So I had to wait all over again!

Justin: It was really hard work, huh?

Sarah: It WAS! So why don’t you try some?

Justin: Well, in fact, I’m a little sick of it. Rebecca bought one last Saturday. She found it too sweet, so she took only one bite. Guess who cleaned it up?
