20、your golf games.Q: What do you know about the man from the conversation?Unit 2 Food and DrinksPart AListening StrategyListening Between the LinesPeople do not always say directly what they mean. Very often, we have to listen between the lines. The English language offers many ways for people to impl

21、y, rather than directly state, their meaning. To find out what a speaker really means, we can rely on such things as the context, the meaning of an idiom, and the intonation used. For example, if someone says I have an essay to write in answer to an invitation to go somewhere, we can infer from the

22、context that he cannot accept the invitation. And if someone says Andrew passed with flying colors in reply to an inquiry about how Andrew did on a test, we can infer from the meaning of the idiom to pass with flying colors that Andrew did very well on the test. Often, intonation also helps to revea

23、l the real meaning of a message. For example, He is very clever said with an ironic tone means just the opposite.
