英語口語:What’s -her-face 她叫什麼來着

Li Hua正在往圖書館走,突然,Larry把她叫住了。
  LL: Hey, Li Hua. One of your classmates asked me to give you this envelope.
  LH: 我的同學要你給我這個信封?哪個同學呀?

LL: Oh, it was... what’s-her-face, you know, the tall girl with red hair.
  LH: 高個子、紅頭髮的女孩兒?你還說什麼- What’s her face? 哎,Face不是“臉”嗎?

LL: I said "what’s-her-face" instead of her name because I couldn’t remember her name. I guess it means I can remember her face, but not her name.
  LH: 噢,你不記得她的名字,但是你記得她的臉長的是什麼樣子,所以你說what’s her face, 也就相當於what’s her name 。Hm,Larry, 你這麼說是不是不太禮貌呢?
  LL: Well, it’s not really rude, but it’s very informal. You shouldn’t call someone what’s-her-face if she is nearby... in that case, you should just ask her what her name is.

LH: 哎喲,幸虧你告訴我, 儘管what’s-her-face是很隨便的說法,但是也不應該當着那個人的面這麼說。要是這個人就在你身邊,那麼我就應該直接問她叫什麼名字。哎,對了,Larry, 剛纔你是說what’s her face, 要是男孩子的話,那應該怎麼說呢?

LL: You would say what’s-his-face.
  LH: 噢,要是男生,但是又記不起他的.名字,那也可以說what’s his face。我想起來了,那個高個紅頭髮的女孩是Julia。我和Jenny向她借了上星期四的筆記,因爲那天我倆沒去上課。這個信封裏肯定是她的筆記。
  LL: That’s right - You missed a class last Thursday. Hey wait, if you needed notes, why didn’t you just ask me?
  LH: 但是我們覺得 - what’s-her-face... um, Julia... 她肯定比你記得好。

LL: Well, come to think of it - If I were what’s-her-face, er... I mean Jenny, I wouldn’t want my notes either
