1、地道口语,经典口语,我非常喜欢它。 I very like it. I like it very much.,这个价格对我挺合适的。 The price is very suitable for me. The price is right. Note:suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上,如:下列节目儿童不宜。 The following programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说*更合适。,你是做什么工作的呢? Whats your job? Are you working at the mo
2、ment? Note:whats your job这种说法难道也有毛病吗?是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业,如此直接的问*让对方有失面子,所以您要问:目前您是在上班吗?Are you working at the moment?接下来您才问:目前您在哪儿工作呢?Where are you working these days?或者您从事哪个行业呢?What line of work are you in?顺带说一下,回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点,不要只是说经理或者秘书。,这个用英语怎么说?How to say? How do you say this in English? Note:Ho
3、w to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一,这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有:请问这个词如何拼写?How do you spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word?,明天我有事情要做。I have something to do tomorrow? Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow. 用I have something to do来表示您很忙,这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做,躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙,脱不开身:Im tie
4、d up.还有其他的说法:Im afraid I cant make it at that time. Id love to, but I cant, I have to stay at home。,我想我不行。I think I cant. I dont think I can. Note:这一组然是个习惯问题,在语法上称为否定前置,我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor. I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving. Note:有人开玩笑说,全中国人最擅长的一句英文是:My English is poor.实话说,我从来
5、没有遇到一个美国人对我说:My Chinese is poor. 无论他们的汉语是好是坏,他们会说: I am still having a few problem, but I getting better. 当您告诉外国人,您的英语很poor,so what(那又怎么样呢),是要让别人当场施舍给我们一些英语呢,还是说我的英语不好,咱们不谈了吧。 另外一个更大的弊端是,一边不停的学英语,一边不停地说自己的英语很poor,这正像有个人一边给车胎充气,又一边在车胎上扎孔放气。,他的身体很健康。His body is healthy. He is in good health. You can a
6、lso say: Hes healthy.,价钱很昂贵/便宜。 The price is too expensive/cheap. The price is too high/ rather low.,这个春节你回家吗? Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival? 是的,我回去。Of course! (这一句是错的) 当然。Sure. / Certainly.(这种说法是正确的) 以英语为母语的人使用of course的频率要比中国的学生低得多,只有在回答一些众所周知的问题时才说of course。因为of course后面隐含的一
7、句话是“当然我知道啦!难道我是一个傻瓜吗?”因此,of course带有挑衅的意味。在交谈时,用sure或certainly效果会好得多。同时,of course not也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not.,101. Dont waste my time anymore. 别再浪费我的时间了! 102. Dont make so much noise. Im working. 别吵,我在干活。 103. Its unfair. 太不公平了。 104. Im very disappointed. 真让我失望。 105. Dont panic! 别怕! 106. What do you think you are doing? 你知道你在做什么吗? 107. Dont you dare come back again! 你敢再回来! 108. You asked for it. 你自找的。 109. Nonsense! 鬼话!,
