B:  A brand new red BMW. It must be very fit for you.

Fair enough.很公平。

fair enough 不是“很公平”的意思。是（勉强）可以接受的意思，有“有点道理“，”也行吧”之类的意思。举例来说：

你让孩子干某件事，他不愿意干，找了一堆理由。你想了想，虽然不太高兴但好像也反驳不了，于是就说”ok, fair enough"

或者在工作上，我想这样干，同事想那样干，两人争论了半天，对方找了个我无法反驳的理由，那我只好说“OK, that is fair enough, I'll do it as you suggested"

If引导的是条件状语从句，不能用will。在时间状语从句和条件状语从句中只能用一般现在时代替一般将来时。

例如：If it rains tomorrow， I will stay at home.假如明天下雨，我就呆在家里。

常用交谈语；

提个醒，本地人告诉我的。她说在澳洲，有很多渴望孩子的家庭，但由于种种原因怀不上，人家自己烦恼着呢，所以谈话时，不要主动问对方有没有小孩儿。

不过我想，如果对方说到孩子了，倒是可以展开话题唠，诸如：你有几个娃儿啊？你的娃儿是男孩儿还是女孩儿？娃儿们几岁了？

常用交谈语；
A。Do you have any children?你有孩子吗？
B。yes, 有。

几种可能遇到的情形：
Yes, I have. 我有孩子。
话题可以继续聊娃。

No. Not yet. 还没有。
你要转移话题，别问Why?,别问 Do you plan to have any? 你打算要孩子吗？

I don't have kids, but I am an aunt to one niece and two nephews.
我没有孩子，但是我是姨妈/姑妈，我有一个侄女，两个外甥。
你就得转移话题。

I have two big dogs and that's enough.
我有两条大狗，这对我来说够了。
你要转移话题了，可以聊狗。

No. Do you?  我没有，你呢？
简单说下自己的孩子，尽快转移话题。千万别我的娃这样，我的娃儿那样的聊个没完。

No, I don’t want any. 没有，我不想要孩子。
别问 Why not？别问为什么不想要啊？转移话题。

I can't have kids. 我怀不上。
这时别想起自己带娃的辛苦，别嫉妒无娃儿的轻松, 别说 You are lucky. 你真幸运。更别说 You can have mine.你可以拥有我的孩子。

综上所诉，可以看出，对新认识的女士，还是不谈这个话题的好。

這些個提醒相當有必要，入鄉隨俗，最要搞清楚那些約定俗成的，否則犯忌了還不自知。夠版主開個專欄說說。

今天先说为什么问有没有孩子不好，见你楼上我刚编辑好的回帖。
这个话题一出口，对于没娃儿的家庭，很容易陷入尴尬，虽然你无意刺探别人的隐私，但话题很难继续。与其转移话题，不如不碰这个话题。当然丁克家庭例外。
