Jenny: 嗯，听【像】有点奇怪啊英文讲说
John: It really means 'I'll dispatch it for you' but she's just getting started and then after it's all finished she knows what driver is arriving when, that's when she'll contact the person, right?
Jenny: 嗯，没错。之后呢他会给你回复
John: OK, so 回复 means reply, right?
Jenny: 对
John: So, reply to you
