她是在说:
My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York, it’s great. But my parents were so worried because of September 11 that they decided to stay in Scotland and spend two weeks up north. Up north, what you see is what you get - nothing. I was extremely bored in the middle of nowhere. Nothing but sheep and mountains. At any rate, my parents were happy – they said it could be worse, and that they were happy with the peace and quiet. I don’t think so! I wanted to go home as soon as possible, to see my mates again. Today I came back to school. I feel very saintly because I have done all my homework. Now it’s business as usual …

Text me!
A new trend has been popping up all over the world--on mobile phones! SMS messages are becoming as common as telephone calls because they're fast, cheap and fun. Here are some tips on using SMS, or Short Message Service, to get your message across in English.
SMS slang can be broken up into two basic categories: acronyms and contractions.
Acronyms 首字母缩写
Acronyms are words formed from the first letter of several words (such as UN for United Nations). In text messaging, acronyms are used for common phrases. Additionally, single letters may replace words that they sound like. Check out these examples:
首字母缩写是由每个单词的第一个字母组合而成的,比如UN就是指United Nations。短信里,首字母缩写常常被用在习惯用语中。另外,发声相似的词会被字母取代。
OIC- Oh I see.
BRB - Be right back
BFN - Bye for now
LOL - Laughing out loud
ASAP - As soon as possible
BTW - By the way
FYI - For your information
JK - Just kidding
TTYL - Talk to you later
Contractions 缩略
SMS contractions aren't the same as regular ones like "don't" or "they're", but the purpose is the same: to remove unnecessary parts of words while keeping the meaning clea
r. Vowels are often eliminated, but you can still make out the general sound of the word. The number 8 sometimes represents the sound of eight, so later becomes l8r. The number 4 is also common as a replacement for the for sound as is 2 for to. Take a look at these SMS contractions:
短信的缩略词不是指一些约定俗成的"don't" 或 "they're"之类的缩略,但两者的目的是一样的:即当意思很清楚的时候可将一些不需要的词省略。元音常常会被省略,但是你仍然可以保留这个词的大概发言。数字8有时候会发eight,所以later就写成l8r。数字4通常也被取代成for,就像2这个音就替代了to。
Plz - Please
Thx - Thanks
Cya - See you
L8r - Later
K - OK
U - You
R - Are
B4 - Before
2morro - Tomorrow
SMS is definitely convenient, but it should be used for casual conversations while keeping your audience in mind. You shouldn't be sending text messages to your boss! Additionally, remember that messages sent can easily be saved and retrieved, or even sent to the wrong person, so you may find yourself in an embarrassing situation if you are not cautious! The next time you want to send a very personal message think carefully before you press the "Send" button or you might end up sending your boss a message meant for your sweetheart!
Other examples:
1.asl=age sex 地址 英文聊天开场最常用的对白,三个字母相应的代替了三句话,分别是how old are you? male or female? and where are you from? 一句话,我们的原则是越简单越好。
2.cuz/cos=because 因为的缩写
3.2=to 数字代替了字母
4.u/ya=you 你
5.howr u/h r u=how are you 你好吗?你怎么样?
6.me 2=me too 我也是
7.brb=be right back 一会儿回来的说法
8.wb=welcome back 当一会儿回来的人回来的时候,你可以说欢迎回来,很礼貌的说法。
9.sup=what'sup 这个是熟人之间问好的常用形式,就好比中国人见面问“嘛呢?"回答就直接告诉别人你正在忙什么,如果没什么特别的可以回答notmuch/nothing speical,这就是最地道的表达。千万别以为sup就是supper,跟吃一点关系都没有。
10.uni=university 大学的缩写,在英语中,很多比较长的词都有特殊的缩写,大概美国人比较懒。
11.gvmt=government 政府的缩写
12.goodnite/nite=good night晚安
13.yes/yep/yeah “好”的几种表达
14.no/nope/nah “不”的几种表达,个人认为总说no太单调,而且也太生硬了,可以试着其它的两种回答
15.gotdc=got disconnected 聊到一半时,却掉线了,这个时候应该怎么说呢?gotdc是比较简单的表达。还有一种情况,就是电脑突然定住,需要重起,当你再度上线的时候,可以说my pcfroze,我们用"冻"这个词,是比较生动贴切的。
16.wanna=want to 想要...
17.gotta=got to 要...样
18.gonna=going to 要去...
19.cya/c u=see you 再见的缩写
20.dunno=don't know 不知道的缩写
21.kinda=kind of 一种...
22.prob'ly=probably 很有可能...
23.lemme=let me 让我...
24.n=and 和
25.r=are/our 是
26.gimme=give me 给我...
27.yrw=you are welcome 不客气
28.pvt=private 私人的
29.lota=lot of 很多
30.t/c=take care 保重的缩写,聊到最后要离开,说完再见还可以说一句保重,显得很有礼貌。或者,家里的客人要离开,送到门口时常常会说一句保重之类的话,英文的说法就是take care。
31.favo=favorite 最喜欢的
32.4=for 为...
33.b4=before 以前
34.j/k=justkidding 开玩笑的缩写,也可以说just joking,一般程度的开玩笑就可以说just kidding/justjoking,如果某人说了一件另你感到吃惊的事,你可以反问"you kidding?", 更深程度表达吃惊的用法是"you got to bekidding me?"如果这样说了,那就表示这件事是你做梦都没想到的。
35.ain't=be not 不是
36.nvm=never mind 别介意
37.msg=message 信息
38.luv=love 爱
39.bro=brother 兄弟
40.sis=sister 姐妹
41.doc=doctor 医生
42.sorta=sort of 一种...
43.outa=out of ...之外
44.O.J.=orange juice桔汁的缩写
45.thanx=thanks
46.sms 经常发短信,那么发短信的正确说法是什么呢?可以说send a message,但更简单的说法是sms,你可以说 i will sms you,此外,sms的正确读音是[esmes]。
47.gtg=gotta go 表示要走了,这句话的用途很广泛,想下线的时候可以这样说,在真实生活中也很常用,聊电话想挂的时候除了说hang up外,也可以说gotta go。
48.lol=laugh of lot 英文聊天中出现频率最高的几个词之一,其实就是彪悍的笑,如果你不打haha的话,这个lol也可以表示大笑,并且三个字母组合起来的图案就如某人大笑的嘴,很是生动。

How to subtly use short text in English
虽然说工作中最经常使用的沟通工具是电话和邮件,但是,有的时候不方便打电话而且没办法查收邮件的时候,外企白领一般是用短信来沟通的。但是大家都知道,中文的短信比较容易发,但是如果你要给外籍同事或老板发短信的时候,就只能输英文了。所有人都对这件事情很头痛,的确太麻烦,要一个字母一个字母地输。下面是一些关于英文短信的技巧,不知道是否对需要跟老外沟通的白领们有所帮助。
1、Text me!发我短消息!
用英文写短信的困难在于拼写,拼一个单词就可能花费你很长的一段时间。因此,现在许多人都通过缩短单词来加快拼写的速度。这样做节省了时间,但是如果不熟悉这些常用的缩写规则,你就会感到很困惑。另外,书写简练短信的第一步就是掌握英文。
短信可分为两个基本部分:首字母缩写和缩略。
2、Acronyms 首字母缩写
首字母缩写是由每个单词的第一个字母组合而成的,比如UN就是指United Nations.短信里,首字母缩写常常被用在习惯用语中。另外,发声相似的词会被字母取代。请看一些例子:
OIC- Oh I see.
BRB - Be right back
BFN - Bye for now
LOL - Laughing out loud
ASAP - As soon as possible
BTW - By the way
FYI - For your information
JK - Just kidding
TTYL - Talk to you later
Contractions 缩略
短信的缩略词不是指一些约定俗成的"don't" 或 "they're"之类的缩略,但两者的目的是一样的:即当意思很清楚的时候可将一些不需要的词省略。元音常常会被省略,但是你仍然可以保留这个词的大概发言。数字8有时候会发eight,所以later就写成l8r.数字4通常也被取代成for,就像2这个音就替代了to.请看一些短信缩略词的例子:

你可以看出来,用缩写的方式写短信会比较复杂,当你试着想缩短你的短信时,你应该先浏览一遍英文。太多的缩写会给阅读者带来困惑,或者让你的商业交往显得不那么专业。
Can you keep a secret?你可以替我保守秘密吗?
发短信绝对很方便,但它应该限于比较随意的场合,且要让阅读者能看明白。你不要给你的老板发短信!另外,你要知道,短信很容易被保存并发给其他人,甚至是发给不该发的人。如果你不小心的话,就有可能将自己陷入非常尴尬的境地!所以下次在按下"发送"键发出非常隐私的短信的时候,一定要小心再小心,不然你可能会把发给GF Or BF的短信传给老板喔!
