推敲细节

① What a coincidence！可译为“太巧了，无巧不成书”，是一句非常实用的口语句子。其可单独使用，用作感叹句，也可以在coincidence后接不定式表示“巧合”的具体内容。

② be used to意为“习惯做某事”, to在该短语中是介词，所以其后要接动名词或名词；used to意为“过去常做某事”, to后接动词原形。要注意这两个短语的区别。

③ And you？是用来对别人的情况进行反问，通常是用在说完自己的情况之后，也可以用What about you？来表示。

④ keep fit是“保持健康，健身”的意思，也可以用另外一个短语来表示，即work out。work out除了表示“计算出来，解决”外，还有“健身”的意思。work out比keep fit更常用在口语中。
