【句子】Manny, give us a minute. 【ModernFamilyS3E19】
【发音】/ˈmæni/ /gɪv/ /ʌs/ /ə/ /ˈmɪn.ɪt/
【发音技巧】give us a两处连读；
【翻译】曼尼，让我和他谈谈。
【适用场合】
今天的节目中，我们一起学习一下give sb. a minute的用法。
表面上看这个短语的意思是“给某个人一分钟；一小会儿时间”；
to allow someone or something a moment or brief period of time in which to do something
eg: Give us a minute to finish the setup, then we'll start the meeting.
给我们一分钟完成准备，然后我们开始开会。
eg: Honey, this isn't what it looks like, just give me a minute to explain!
亲爱的，事情不是你想的那样，先听我解释！
eg: Give the computer a minute to reboot so the updates can be properly installed.
给电脑一分钟重启，这样更新才能正确安装。
eg: Yes, I can find that file for you, just give me a minute to save these changes.
好的，我能给你找到那个文件，稍等一下，我先保存这些更改。
然后它也可以理解成这样的使用场景：
“如果对话中有第三方在场，这句话可能暗示说话的人想单独和某个人聊几句”；
这种情况下，可以理解成：“请回避一下，我们需要单独谈谈”；
eg: Hey, could you please give us a minute? We need to sort something out privately.
嘿，您能回避一下吗？我们需要私下里解决一些事情。
eg: Do you mind giving us a minute? We'll catch up later!
你介意让我们单独待一会儿吗？我们一会儿再聊。
eg: Could you all give us a minute? Family discussion only, thank you.
请大家暂时出去一下，家属需要单独沟通一下。
当然在口语中，你也可以说，We need a moment alone please.
或者Could you step out?
也可以表达类似含义，只是会更直截了当一些。
