17. Oh, it was Sally. You know, she always has the latest news in town and can't wait to talk it over with me.

点睛　

本句中的can't wait to do sth. 是听音难点，意思是“等不及，迫不及待做某事”。the latest news指的是“最新的消息”，而不是“最晚的消息”。talk over意为“谈论”。

考点归纳　

口语中表达“热切盼望做某事”的常用短语还有：
look forward to doing意为“高兴地等待；盼望”。如：
We are all looking forward to going to Lijiang for our vacation. 我们都盼望着假期能去丽江玩。
be eager for意为“渴求，极想”。如：
The little boy was eager for meeting his mother. 小男孩渴望见到他的妈妈。
