WQ: 你刚刚说 　　　　　6　　　　　 意思是你可以教我对不对？

WQ: 可是，这跟 rope 绳子又有什么关系呢？

You got the latest iPhone? How do you like it?
That's right. But don't worry. Everyone has to start out as a newbie.
Give you a few pointers?
I need someone to give me a few pointers on how to find the coolest iPhone apps.
I have an iPhone. I can show you the ropes.
You can show me the ropes.
To show someone the ropes means to explain to someone how to do a job or activity.
A long time ago, sailors had to learn how to control the ropes to set sail. Learning the ropes was a beginner's lesson for sailors. So to show someone the ropes means to show someone the basics of doing something.WQ: Donny，我买了最新的 iPhone耶！
