Lesson 9 — Are You Free Friday?
你周五有空吗?
本课只有一个现实任务:发出社交邀请,在已有安排和临时变化之间协调出一个双方都能接受的时间。
1. Before You Start
本课目标
学完本课,你能够:
- 询问朋友某天或某个时间是否有空;
- 区分个人意图、已经确认的安排和说话当场作出的决定;
- 对方有时间冲突时提出替代时间;
- 通过三轮消息把活动、时间和地点确认清楚;
- 在出现一次未预告的时间变化后,重新协商并完成60—120秒的无稿说明。
热身
先用你已经会的英语简单回答:
- 朋友邀请你参加活动,但你已经有安排时,你通常先说明冲突,还是先问有没有别的时间?
- 一个活动只有“大概想去”和“时间地点已经约好”时,英语表达会有什么不同?
场景词汇
- market 集市;市场
- client call 与客户的通话或线上会议
- run errands 办几件外出的杂事
- pick up an order 领取已经订好的物品
- book a table 预订餐桌
- calendar 日历;日程表
2. Main Conversation
Finding a time that works
On Thursday evening, Aisha sees Daniel in the hallway at Maple Court. She wants to make a social plan for the weekend.
Part A — Friday does not work
Aisha: Hey, Daniel, are you free Friday evening? I'm going to walk around Riverside Market after work. Would you like to come?
Daniel: I'd like to, but I'm meeting a client online at five thirty. We booked the call last week, and it's scheduled to end at seven.
Aisha: Okay. How about seven fifteen instead?
Daniel: I can do that, but the market closes at eight. That gives us less than an hour. Let's choose a time when neither of us is rushing.
Aisha: Agreed. Do you have any plans for Saturday?
Daniel: I'm picking up an order at eleven, but I'm free after that.
Aisha: Great. I'm going to run a few errands in the morning. How about lunch at twelve thirty?
Daniel: That works for me. Let's make it twelve thirty at the café near Maple Court.
Aisha: Perfect. I'll put it in my calendar now.
Part B — One small change
At 10:15 on Saturday morning, Aisha sends Daniel a message.
Aisha: One errand is taking longer than I expected. Can we meet at one instead?
Daniel: Let me check. Yes, one is fine. I'll book a table for one o'clock.
Aisha: Thanks. Does the same café still work for you?
Daniel: Yes. We're meeting there at one.
Aisha: Great. See you then.
After picking up his order, Daniel arrives at the café a few minutes early. Aisha arrives at one, and they have lunch as planned.
3. 中文译文需要时展开
周四晚上,艾莎在枫庭公寓的走廊里遇见丹尼尔。她想为周末约一次轻松的见面。
A部分——周五不合适
艾莎: 嗨,丹尼尔,你周五晚上有空吗?我打算下班后去河畔集市逛逛。你想一起来吗?
丹尼尔: 我很想去,不过我五点半已经约好和一位客户在线开会。这个通话是上周订下来的,预定七点结束。
艾莎: 好吧。那改成七点十五分怎么样?
丹尼尔: 我能去,不过集市八点就关了。这样我们连一个小时都没有。我们换一个谁都不用赶时间的时候吧。
艾莎: 同意。你周六有什么安排吗?
丹尼尔: 我十一点要去取一份订单,之后就有空了。
艾莎: 太好了。我打算上午出去办几件事。十二点半一起吃午饭怎么样?
丹尼尔: 我可以。那就定在十二点半,地点是枫庭公寓附近的那家咖啡馆。
艾莎: 好极了。我现在就把它记到日历里。
B部分——一次小调整
周六上午十点十五分,艾莎给丹尼尔发来消息。
艾莎: 有一件事花的时间比我预计的长。我们可以改成一点见面吗?
丹尼尔: 我看一下。可以,一点没问题。我现在就订一点钟的位子。
艾莎: 谢谢。还是原来那家咖啡馆,你方便吗?
丹尼尔: 可以。我们一点在那里见。
艾莎: 好,到时见。
丹尼尔取完订单后,提前几分钟到了咖啡馆。艾莎一点准时到达,他们按最终安排一起吃了午饭。
翻译提示:中文常用“我周六要……”同时表示打算、已预约或临时决定。英语会根据计划处于哪个阶段,选择 be going to、现在进行时 或 will。本课关注的是说话者想突出哪一种计划状态,不要求把每个未来句都机械归为唯一形式。
4. Read, Notice, Understand
Check the story
第一遍先听完整对话,不看译文,然后回答:
- What does Aisha intend to do on Friday evening?
- Why is Daniel unavailable at 5:30 on Friday?
- Why do they decide not to go to the market after Daniel's call?
- What confirmed arrangement does Daniel have at eleven on Saturday?
- What time do they first choose for lunch?
- What is their final time, and does the lunch happen?
5. What People Actually Say
本课负荷说明
本课展示10项核心表达。第1—6项是本课真正全新的主动词块:Are you free…?、Do you have any plans for…?、How about…instead?、Let's make it…、Does…still work for you?、See you then.
第7—9项服务本课同一个计划协调语法系统。其中 I'm meeting… 和 I'll… 分别复用第3课已教的GR005、GR006;本课新建的是三种未来形式的意义对比,不把旧结构重新登记成新词块。第10项 That works for me 是CH021复现。主对话还自然复现CH020 Can we meet at…instead?,同样不计入新增负荷。
1. Are you free …?
你……有空吗?随意到中性,适合朋友、家人或熟悉的同事。时间可以直接放在后面。
Are you free Thursday evening?
2. Do you have any plans for …?
你……有什么安排吗?语气中性。它先了解对方日程,不等于要求对方取消原计划。
Do you have any plans for Sunday afternoon?
3. How about … instead?
改成……怎么样?用于原方案不合适时提出替代时间、地点或活动。朋友之间随意自然。
Friday is difficult. How about Saturday instead?
4. Let's make it …
那就定在……吧。用于双方已经接近一致时,把时间或地点定下来。随意到中性。
Let's make it two o'clock at the main entrance.
5. Does … still work for you?
……对你来说还合适吗?一项信息改变后,用它重新确认未改变的时间、地点或方案。语气中性、合作。
Does the same meeting place still work for you?
6. See you then.
那到时见。高频、友好,用于时间已经确认后的简短收尾。随意到中性。
Saturday at two. See you then.
7. I'm going to …
我打算…… 用于说话前已经有的意图;细节不一定全部确认。这是本课未来计划系统中新建立的形式。
I'm going to visit the market this weekend.
8. I'm meeting … at …
我已经约好在……见…… 现在进行时在这里表示已经确认的近期安排,通常能说出人物、时间或地点。这一用法已在第3课建立,本课用于对比和迁移。
I'm meeting Nora at the station at six.
9. I'll …
我来……/我现在决定…… 本课只用于说话当场作出的决定。这一用法已在第3课建立。
The café gets busy at lunchtime. I'll book a table now.
10. That works for me.
我可以/这个安排我没问题。这是第3课词块 CH021,用于接受时间、地点或方案。
One o'clock works for me.
Don't Say It That Way
| 容易说出的句子 | 更自然的表达 | 原因 |
|---|---|---|
| Do you have time Friday? | Are you free Friday? | 询问社交时间更自然 |
| I will meet a client at five. | I'm meeting a client at five. | 已确认的会面通常用现在进行时更贴切 |
| I go to visit the market. | I'm going to visit the market. | 已有意图需要合适的将来表达 |
| Change it to Saturday. | How about Saturday instead? | 提议而不是命令 |
6. Grammar Refresh — 三种方式协调未来安排
本课只有一个主要语法系统:协调计划时,区分已有意图、已确认安排和当场决定。 三种形式都可以谈未来,但表达重点不同。
A. be going to:说话前已经有的意图
Aisha is going to walk around the market after work.
I'm going to run a few errands in the morning.
说话者在开口前已经有这个想法,但不一定已经和别人确认了时间、地点或预约。
形式是 am / is / are going to + 动词原形:
I'm going to visit the market.
She is going to call Daniel.
B. 现在进行时:已经确认的近期安排
Daniel is meeting a client at 5:30.
We're meeting at the café at one.
这里不是说动作正在发生,而是时间、地点或参与者已经安排好。结构仍是 am / is / are + 动词-ing。
C. will:说话当场作出的决定
I'll put it in my calendar now.
I'll book a table for one o'clock.
说话者听到新信息后,在这一刻决定下一步。本课不扩展 will 的预测、承诺等其他用法,也不扩展 be going to 表示有迹象的预测。
一张判断表
| 说话者强调的状态 | 选择 | 例子 |
|---|---|---|
| 已经有意图,但细节未必确认 | be going to | I'm going to visit the market. |
| 人物、时间或地点已经确认 | 现在进行时 | I'm meeting Lena at six. |
| 听到新情况后现在决定 | will | The time changed. I'll text Lena now. |
真实交流中,同一件未来事件有时可以从不同角度表达。下面的练习会给出明确线索,要求选择说话者当下最想强调的一种状态。
快速辨析
根据括号中的语境,选择正确形式。
- Aisha decided this morning to visit the market, but she has not arranged it with anyone. She __________ Riverside Market after work. (is going to visit / is visiting)
- Daniel and his client confirmed a 5:30 call last week. He __________ the client at 5:30. (is meeting / will meet)
- Aisha asks Daniel to move lunch to one. He decides at that moment to reserve a table. “Okay, I __________ a table now.” (am going to book / will book)
- Both friends have now confirmed one o'clock at the same café. They __________ there at one. (are meeting / will meet)
- Nora already intends to cook at home tonight, but she has not chosen the food. She __________ dinner at home. (is going to make / is making)
- The phone starts ringing. Sam says, “I __________ it.” (am answering / will answer)
7. Sound Natural — 缩略形式与时间重音
本课网页已配有完整对话、逐句播放和影子跟读。重点听不同将来表达如何区分既定安排、个人打算和临时决定。
自然对话里,I am、we are、I will 通常使用缩略形式:
- I am meeting → I'm meeting
- We are meeting → We're meeting
- I will book → I'll book
不要只听开头的小词。协调计划时,真正需要听清的是日期和时间:
Are you free FRIDAY EVENING?
I'm meeting a client at FIVE THIRTY.
We're meeting at ONE, not twelve thirty.
朗读与录音
先按意群朗读,再连起来说:
I'm meeting a client / at five thirty.
I'm going to run a few errands / in the morning.
I'll book a table / for one o'clock.
每句录两遍。第二遍保持缩略形式,并把最重要的时间读清楚。回听时检查:不看文字,你能否分辨 twelve thirty 和 one o'clock?
8. Practice
A. 理解检查
判断正误。正确写 T,错误写 F。
- Aisha first invites Daniel to Riverside Market on Friday evening.
- Daniel's client call was arranged during this conversation.
- The market stays open until ten.
- Daniel has a confirmed pickup at eleven on Saturday.
- Aisha and Daniel first agree to have lunch at 1:00.
- They finally meet at the café at one and have lunch.
B. 独立阅读:周末日历与短消息
下面的材料不是主对话。先看日历,再读消息。
Taylor's weekend calendar
| Day | Time | Confirmed arrangement |
|---|---|---|
| Friday | 5:30—6:30 p.m. | Video call with the project team |
| Saturday | 9:00—10:00 a.m. | Grocery delivery |
| Saturday | 6:00 p.m. | Dinner with Ava |
Priya: I'm going to visit the book fair on Saturday. Are you free at two?
Taylor: Yes. I'm meeting Ava for dinner at six, but my afternoon is open. Let's meet at the main entrance at two. I'll buy the tickets now.
回答:
- What confirmed arrangement does Taylor have on Friday?
- What is Priya's intention for Saturday?
- Is Taylor free at two on Saturday?
- Where and when are Taylor and Priya meeting?
- What does Taylor decide to do during the message exchange?
C. 选择合适的未来形式
用括号中动词的正确形式完成句子。根据每题的时间线索,选择 be going to、现在进行时 或 will。
- We confirmed the appointment yesterday. We __________ the advisor at three tomorrow. (meet)
- I decided this morning to stay home tonight, but I have not made a detailed plan. I __________ at home. (relax)
- “There are no seats left online.” “Okay, I __________ the café instead.” (call)
- Mia and Jo have agreed on Saturday at ten. They __________ at the station then. (meet)
- Lee already intends to cook this weekend, but has not chosen a day. Lee __________ for the family. (cook)
- “The museum closes at five.” “Then I __________ everyone now.” (text)
D. 选择合适的社交表达
从方框中选择,每项只用一次。
Are you free · Do you have any plans for · How about Saturday instead · Let's make it · Does the same café still work for you · That works for me · We should catch up · See you then
- You want to ask about Friday evening: “__________ Friday evening?”
- You want to ask generally about the weekend: “__________ the weekend?”
- Friday is not possible, so you suggest another day: “__________?”
- Both people agree on a time: “Great. __________ two o'clock.”
- The time changes, but you want to keep the place: “__________?”
- You accept the new time: “One o'clock? __________.”
- You have not spoken to a friend for months: “__________ soon.”
- The plan is final: “Great—Sunday at two. __________.”
E. Lesson 8 repair phrases — interval retrieval
Close Lesson 8 and do not look back at its expression list. There is no phrase bank. Each situation is new. Read it once and begin speaking within five seconds.
- Your friend thinks “next weekend” means this coming Saturday. You meant the weekend after that. Tell your friend that their interpretation is not the one you intended.
- You said “after lunch,” and your friend chose 12:15. You intended 2:00. State precisely what you intended.
- Your invitation said “Friday,” but you forgot to say that you meant Friday evening. Accept that your first message may have lacked an important detail, then add it.
- A friend says, “Dinner has moved to Sunday at seven.” Check whether you have understood the new day and time correctly.
这些英文新情境没有中文翻译、目标原句、词库或首字母提示。只有在不回看第8课的情况下主动说出相应词块,才登记 CH047、CH048、CH049、CH051 的间隔R。
F. 对话补全
根据情境补全对话。答案不唯一,但必须出现邀请、已有安排、替代时间和最终确认。
A: Are you free Saturday morning? I'm going to visit the new market.
B: I'd like to, but ________________________________________________.
A: Okay. How about ________________________________________________ instead?
B: ________________________________________________. Let's meet at ________________________________________________.
A: Great. I'll ________________________________________________ now. See you then.
G. 三轮消息写作
目标是用三条消息完成“邀请—说明冲突并给替代时间—最终确认”。
第一轮:你发出邀请。 写35—55词,说明你打算做什么,提出一个日期和时间,并问对方是否有空。
第二轮:对方回应。 请真人伙伴或语音助手自行选择一个已确认的时间冲突,再提供一个替代时间。要求对方只写25—45词,不替你写第三轮。如果独自学习,请让语音助手从周五晚上、周六上午、周日下午中随机选择一个冲突。
第三轮:你确认方案。 写30—50词,接受或调整替代时间,加入一个说话当场作出的决定,并完整确认最终活动、时间和地点。
三条消息必须真正形成闭环。只有第一条邀请、没有收到回应并确认新方案,不算完成本任务。
9. Make It Yours
第一步:画出自己的周末时间线
写下一个真实或合理模拟的周末安排:
- 一件你已经打算做、但细节还没全部确定的事;
- 两件时间已经确认的安排;
- 至少两个仍然空闲的时间段。
第二步:录制60—120秒说明
不要写完整稿,只看日历关键词。说明:
- 你打算做什么;
- 哪些安排已经确认;
- 你想邀请朋友参加什么;
- 如果第一个时间不合适,你会提出什么替代时间;
- 听到对方的时间后,你会当场决定做什么来落实安排。
录音中至少正确使用一次 be going to、一次表示未来安排的现在进行时和一次表示当场决定的 will。
第三步:随机变化
把下面的指令交给真人伙伴或语音助手:
Read my proposed social plan. Without warning me, choose one change: your earlier appointment ends thirty minutes later than expected, the place closes before our chosen time, or you are only free on the other weekend day. Do not rewrite my sentences. Tell me the new constraint and ask me to propose a new plan. Continue until I confirm the final activity, day, time and place.
收到变化后,在五秒内开始回应,提出新方案并完整确认。随后再录制一段60—120秒说明,讲清原计划、冲突、替代方案和最终安排。未知变化出现后的版本才算迁移证据。
间隔复习
两天后: 不看第4、5部分,用三句话分别说明一个已有意图、一个已确认安排和一个听到新情况后的当场决定。
七天后: 重新做一次三轮消息写作,但更换人物、活动和日期。请对方随机改变一次时间;你必须在最后一条消息中确认活动、日期、时间和地点。

G. 三轮消息参考
Message 1: Hi, I'm going to check out the outdoor film on Friday evening. Are you free around seven? It starts at seven thirty, and we could meet by the ticket desk. Let me know if Friday works for you.
Message 2: I'd like to go, but I'm meeting a client until seven thirty on Friday. Are you free Saturday evening instead? I don't have any plans after six.
Message 3: Saturday works for me. Let's meet by the ticket desk at seven thirty for the eight o'clock outdoor film. I'll buy my ticket now. So we're meeting there at seven thirty on Saturday. See you then.
其他答案不必与示例相同。合格答案必须包含一次邀请、一个已确认冲突、一个替代时间和一条包含活动、日期、时间、地点的最终确认。
Make It Yours参考框架
I'm going to visit a weekend market, but I haven't chosen a time yet. I'm meeting a friend for breakfast at nine on Saturday, and I'm picking up an order at eleven. I want to invite Alex to the market in the afternoon. Two o'clock and four o'clock are both open for me. Alex says four is better. Great—four works. I'll check the closing time now and put the plan in my calendar.
开放口语、随机互动和个人日历没有唯一答案。检查重点是三种未来形式是否表达了相应的计划状态,以及变化后是否完整确认活动、日期、时间和地点。
