Call me later! 晚点打给我！
电话和信息。词汇：phone、call、text、message、answer、ring、number、voicemail、hang up、reply。核心语法：表示交流的动词直接接宾语，«不加介词»。很多语言里你"给某人打电话（call TO someone）"，但英语里人直接跟在动词后面："I'll call you"（不是 "call to you"）、"Text me"、"Phone her"、"Answer the phone"、"Ask him"。记住第9课的宾格代词：me、you、him、her、it、us、them。还有 tell/say 的陷阱："tell someone"（tell me、tell him）但 "say something"（say hello、say it）——不能 "say me"。学习者常多加 "to"："I'll call to you" ✗ → "I'll call you" ✓；"He said me" ✗ → "He told me" ✓。
Dialogue
I'll call you or I'll call to you? — I'll call you 还是 I'll call to you？
- Minsu It was great to meet you today. I'll call to you tonight. 今天认识你真好。我晚上打给你。（口误：call 后面不加 "to"——"I'll call you"）
- Emma Just "I'll call you" — no "to". In English these verbs take the person directly. 就说 "I'll call you"——不要 "to"。英语里这些动词直接接人。
- Minsu Ah, in Korean we say "to you". So I'll call you, and I'll text you too. 啊，韩语里我们说"给你（to you）"。那我打给你，也发短信给你。
- Emma Perfect! And be careful with "tell" and "say": tell ME, but say HELLO. You can't "say me". 完美！还要注意 "tell" 和 "say"：tell ME（告诉我），但 say HELLO（说你好）。不能 "say me"。
- Minsu Got it. Tell me your number and I'll save it. Then I'll call you tonight! 明白了。告诉我你的号码，我存下来。然后我晚上打给你！
Dialogue
Sorry I missed your call — 抱歉没接到你的电话
- Jack Hi Emma. Sorry, I didn't answer this morning — I was on the bus. 嗨 Emma。抱歉，今早我没接——我在公交车上。
- Emma No problem. I just wanted to tell you about the party. Did you get my message? 没关系。我只是想跟你说聚会的事。你收到我的消息了吗？
- Jack Yes! I read it, but I couldn't reply. Can you send me the address again? 收到了！我看了，但没能回复。你能再把地址发给我吗？
- Emma Sure, I'll text it to you now. Call me if you get lost, okay? 当然，我现在发给你。如果迷路就打给我，好吗？
- Jack Great. Thanks, Emma. See you at the party! 好。谢谢你，Emma。聚会见！

Grammar
Call me、tell me——不要 "to"
Explanation
英语里，用于打电话和发消息的动词直接接人，前面«不加介词»。说 "call me"、"phone her"、"text him"、"ask them"、"answer the phone"——绝不说 "call to me" 或 "phone to her"。这和许多语言不同，那些语言里你"给某人打电话（call TO someone）"。这个人就是你在第9课学过的宾格代词：me、you、him、her、it、us、them。例："Call me tonight"、"I'll text you the address"、"She never answers her phone"。这里还有一个陷阱——"tell" 对 "say"。你 "tell" 一个«人»（tell me、tell him the news、tell us a story），但你 "say"«话语»（say hello、say yes、say something）；不能 "say me"，也很少 "tell hello"。速记规则：TELL + 人，SAY + 话。学习者最常见的失误："I'll call to you later" ✗ → "I'll call you later" ✓；"He said me the time" ✗ → "He told me the time" ✓。
Examples
- Call me when you arrive. 你到了就打给我。
- I'll text you the address later. 我晚点把地址发给你。
- Can you tell me your phone number? 你能告诉我你的电话号码吗？
- He didn't answer, so I left a voicemail. 他没接，所以我留了语音留言。
