網羅天下新鮮、好玩、有趣、時尚的英語表達，盡在獨家專欄節目"E聊吧"。 本期節目的topic:和某人談談當你有重要事要打斷別人的談話或工作，最好先禮貌地問句：May I have a word with you? （我可以和你談一會嗎？）。雖然是a word，但不是隻說一個字而已，而是一段很簡短的對話，或可以說：May I have a quick word with you? / May I have a word in your ear? 通常有這樣的要求，談話內容可能比較私人或祕密，或者也可以用A word if you don't mind.（只是一句話，如你不介意）。 ing-bottom: 66.27%;"> 對話 A: Julie, may I have a word with you, please? A：茱莉，我可否和你談一會嗎？ B: Sorry, I'm a bit tied up at the moment. Can we talk later? B：對不起，我現在很忙，可否遲些再談？ A: You said that earlier and I've been waiting all afternoon. I only need 5 minutes to go over this. A：你較早前已這樣說過，而我已等了整個下午，我只需要5分鐘就足夠了。B:OK , please take a seat. B：好吧，請坐。 詳解：May I have a word with you?即“我可否和你談談嗎？”A word兩字可不可以改作words? 改作words，意思就完全不同了。To have a word with somebody. 是“和某人談談”，To have words with somebody. 則是‘和某人吵架’。例如：He had words with his wife last night. 他昨晚和妻子吵架。
