Question

How does next Monday work for you?
原文如下（这个句子出现在第五行）：
A:Hello,Fairbrook Consulting,how may I help you?
B:Yes,this is Julianne Horton,and I’m calling to arrange an appointment with Ms.McNealy.
A:Certainly,what day were you thinking of?
B:How’s Thursday?Does she have any time available then?
A:Um...let me double check...unfortunately,she’s booked solid on Thursday,how does next Monday
work for you?
B:Actually,I’ve got something scheduled on Monday.Can she do Tuesday?
A:Sure,Tuesday’s perfect.
总觉得这个用法怪怪的,How does next Monday work for you?意思是不是周一怎么样?虽然结构没有问题,但是没见过这种用法的?
另外,Can she do Tuesday?也很奇怪,中间好像漏了一个ON?

Answer 1

work在此是“方便”“行得通”的意思,整句话意思就是：“你下周一方便吗?”
Can she do Tuesday?你理解是对的,的确少了一个on,在口语中,为了沟通方便,有时就不太注重语法方面问题了.
