B: Yes?
A: Well, how clumsy of me to have a fall(摔跤)on the way to the gym and the bikegot scratched somewhere.

语言贴士
(1)此处的yes是用来表示疑问或希望对方进一步讲述(用升调),意为:怎么啦?真的吗?是吗?(继续)说呀!
(2) Oh, it really isn't worth mentioning. be worth后可直接跟名词、代词或动名词。
如:
The antique is worth$1,000.这个古董值1000美元。
The bike is hardly worth repairing.这辆自行车简直不值得修理。
(3)在口语中,forget it是一个出现频率较高的语句,多用祈使句,适用于多种语境。
常译作“没关系”,“算了吧”“不必在意”等。Forget it.=Don't think anymore about it.
