家常便飯的實(shí)用英語(yǔ),隨口一來(lái)!
1.You're in the pink! 要想說(shuō)人氣色好,“ You look fine! ”當(dāng)然不錯(cuò),可如果你說(shuō)“ You're in the pink! ”就妙得多了,實(shí)際上,在英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)中,巧妙使用一些表示顏色的詞能使得句子非常形象生動(dòng)。
2.He is bouncy “他精力充沛”美國(guó)人通常說(shuō):“ He is bouncy ”,而不說(shuō)“ He is energetic ”,牢記一些日常對(duì)話中的句式是你生活中一把必備的鑰匙。如:久仰,“ I get mind of you ”比 “ I heard a lot about you ”輕松得多。
3.Did you get lost?有人開(kāi)會(huì)遲到了,你若對(duì)他說(shuō)“You are late”,聽(tīng)起來(lái)像是廢話。若說(shuō)“ Did you get lost? ”,則更能讓他感到歉疚,可千萬(wàn)別說(shuō)成“ Get lost! ”,那可是讓人滾蛋的意思.
4.Do you have the time?別人征求你的意見(jiàn),問(wèn)能否開(kāi)窗戶等,你要是說(shuō)“ You can do that ”就有點(diǎn)土了,用一句“ Do you have the time? ”就好多了。實(shí)際上,問(wèn)他人的姓名,地址都可以這么用:“ May I have your name? ”要比“ What’s your name? ”禮貌得多,不過(guò)警察例外!
5.I would rather not say。別人問(wèn)你不愿公開(kāi)的問(wèn)題,切勿用“ It’s my secret,don’t ask such a personal question ”回答,一來(lái)顯得你沒(méi)有個(gè)性,二來(lái)也讓對(duì)方覺(jué)得你氣短。 你可以說(shuō) “I would rather not say ”!
6.It’s on the tip of my tongue。有時(shí)候,你想說(shuō)什么,可是想不起來(lái),你可以說(shuō)“Well…”、“Let me see ”、“Just a moment ”或“It’s on the tip of my tongue ”等。相比之下,最后一個(gè)句型是最地道的!
7.While I remember…交談時(shí),你可能會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)換話題,不要只說(shuō)“ By the way ”,實(shí)際上,“ To change the subject ”、“ Before I forget ”、“ While I remember ”、“ Mind you ”都是既地道又受歡迎的表達(dá)!
8.I got it。遇到你不懂的問(wèn)題時(shí)可別不懂裝懂,“ I know ”可能是被中國(guó)人用得最多,而最不被美國(guó)人接受的一句話。當(dāng)一個(gè)美國(guó)教師向你解釋某個(gè)問(wèn)題時(shí),你如果連說(shuō)兩遍“ I know ”,我敢保證,他不會(huì)再跟你說(shuō)什么了。用“ I got it ”就順耳得多,要是不懂就說(shuō)“ I’m not clear about it ”。不過(guò)如果你會(huì)說(shuō)“ It’s past my understanding ”或“ It’s beyond me ”,你的教師一定會(huì)驚訝不已的!
I’m supposed to go on a diet/get a raise。我應(yīng)該節(jié)食/漲工資。
The meeting was scheduled for two hours,but it is not over yet。會(huì)議原定兩個(gè)小時(shí),不過(guò)現(xiàn)在還沒(méi)有結(jié)束! ould you care to see it/sit down for a while?你要不要看/坐一會(huì)呢?
Do you mind if I take tomorrow off?你介意我明天請(qǐng)假嗎?
I’m afraid that it’s not going to work out。我恐怕這事不會(huì)成的!
Is everything under control?一切都在掌握之中嗎?
It really depends on who is in charge。那純粹要看誰(shuí)負(fù)責(zé)了。
