Y: Patrick ,刚才好危险,我差点儿从悬崖上掉下去。
P: Jeez Yang Chen, that was a close call! You almost fell off the side of a cliff. It's a good thing for you that I was able to pull you back to safety.
Y: Yeah, you saved my life. 谢谢你救了我。
And it's a good thing for you too!
P:I saved you because I was afraid if you were going to fall, you were planning to take me with you.
Y: 原来是怕我连累你,所以才救我。
Well, thanks all the same.
P: Well, that's what friends are for, right? What happened? Did you slip on the ice?
Y: Yeah, 当时我走在薄冰上walking on thin ice,冰一下子裂开,我就滑下去了。
P: Walking on thin ice? You know, that's an English expression.
