telephone during the working hours.

2. Although she’s wrong, it’s not a big deal.
尽管她做的不对，但没什么大不了的。
(1)big deal 是英语中 的一个固定搭配，表示“重要
的事情或是状况”多用于非正式交流，做否定用时，常说 it’s not a big deal. 或it is no big deal.
表示说话人并不认为某事有什么大不了的。

放在句中。

although引导的从句不能与but, however连用，但
与yet, still连用。
2. Hope things work out. 希望事情会好起来。

Don’t worry. Things will work out.
别担心，事情会慢慢解决的。
