B: Sure. What is the catch?

地道表达
What is the catch?
解词释义
当对方免费给你好处的时候,英美人会反问:“What is the catch?”这其中的catch是名词,意思是“诡计,潜在的困难或不利因素”。例如:The house is very cheap. There must be a catch somewhere.(这所房子非常便宜,这里面一定有蹊跷。)“What is the catch?”译为“有什么诡计?”也可翻译为“有什么内幕?”或“你这是什么意思?”
Ps 1: 表示“有职位空缺”,可以用下面的句型:There is a vacancy for sb.例如:
I would like to know if there is a vacancy for the sales manager in your hotel.
我想知道你们酒店缺销售部经理嘛。
Ps 2:apply for的意思是“申请......”。例如:
She graduated with high enough marks to apply for university.
她的毕业成绩足以申请上大学。
You can apply for citizenship after five years' residency.
居住五年后可申请公民资格。
