Jabber's English Note---051

Page

Let me say we go to the airport and pick up a friend. The flight has arrived and the crowd has disappeared. But we haven't seen our friend. In such a case, we may go to some service desk and "page" our friend through the load-speakers. We can talk the airport staff at the service desk: "Excuse me, I wanna page my friend from Vancouver. His name is Mike Woodhead....."

Now let me assume we fifteen people are going to some park and have a picnic. Of course, we need to coordinate our actions. In such case, we may tell the coordinator or organizer: "Please keep me paged."

    • Good.
    • Seldom seen people use pager in Canada except the technician from Bell.
    • 哎,如果一年前看到这个就好了,那我就不会在机场迷失了一个下午.:((
    • please keep me paged中的page什么意思?语法上好象是keep doing sth,有keep + 过去分词的么?谢谢jabber
      • 招呼,通知, paged是被动语态.
      • Roughly speaking, it is same as "Keep me informed", or "Keep me posted".
    • 说起paging system,我就想起小时候听过的大喇叭:Jabber老师,你们班汪基昂把饺子给偷吃了,请你赶紧回教室。这几十年过去了,还在用这玩意,唯一的进步是可以调嗓子的人不只是广播员了。
      • Good humor. Thank you so much!
