Hello? Oh, it's nothing. I am just a little under the weather today, so I decided to take the rest of the day off and really rest. No no, I said I am under the weather today. Under the weather, it means sick. Oh, don't worry. It's not very serious. Usually when someone says that they are under the weather, they mean they feel bad, but are not very sick. Last night I went out to eat with a friend. After dinner, it started to rain heavily. We didn't have umbrellas, and I had to walk a long way back to my car in the rain. I think I caught a cold, so now I feel under the weather. It's ok, Li Hua. I can take care of myself. That's why I am resting at home. That reminds me, how is your mother doing? Didn't you say she was under the weather last week? Oh, no. You must have been worried she had SARS. They were all thinking about SARS, so they also felt under the weather. In fact, they were all ok. So why were you trying to call me at work today? Oh, well, I'd like to, but I really think I should stay at home tonight. Maybe this weekend we can grab a bite to eat. I said we can "grab a bite to eat". It means we can go out and have a quick meal somewhere this weekend. That's about right. To be exact, it means to find some quick and simple food, like fast food. I know, I know. It's just that I often don't have a lot of time between classes and work. So at lunchtime, I usually have to go to a fast food place and grab a bite to eat. I don't have time to go anywhere else. I don't always grab a bite to eat at fast food places. Sometimes I make lunch at home. But it takes a lot of time in the evening, and sometimes I am busy then, too.
