1. I very like it 9 e! h* v8 `- M
I like it very much.
; W, p; ]. ^" _8 V5 T! [) C0 B- w
2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。 $ L9 [! k& a; u5 C  V0 o

  C) ]" E# ]& R1 u( D& MThe price is very suitable for me.
1 K+ z' {2 l3 b% ?2 Q& ~3 W8 r" N+ V* O5 ~( B1 v
The price is right. ) W$ h3 E' B9 C

2 e1 ?' S% C/ SNote: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 * z! y2 d  b# ]
0 {  \4 X  I" k- ~4 v% i  X
programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。
+ u2 {* ?9 `% I/ G$ x4 o8 x6 B; r- y7 Z; M( ^7 V6 u
3. 你是做什么工作的呢?What’s your job? 3 M/ O# r5 h- j8 r/ t

* {/ `& m2 h* F( tAre you working at the moment? " g; X) @0 V/ {* Z- _
% W: n* o2 l8 k/ ^7 A$ J$ I- S
Note:what’s your
" U/ c) }/ W3 b1 ~; E! R: ?$ d- U' y
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,如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子,所以您要问:目前您是在上班吗?Are you working
9 U1 \+ q( I  c) `) G5 J6 Y8 L( z8 t
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 " I0 G3 U5 \; j9 c

  q7 C5 G4 ~1 N2 j1 _+ q; W( A, Xline 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
" }# f2 P# A) k7 W1 x$ ?7 c
! Q) h" S; F% e7 @& O) L4. 用英语怎么说?How to say? - v6 A# M2 X- v# s' _$ ~( m8 n

+ o! A0 s  U5 `$ EHow do you say this in English?
0 X3 j" E0 T, Q! J& U4 e
# i- B5 B6 j3 J6 s8 Z8 p9 GNote:How 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
* {+ S: r( f/ ?8 }! \
, i9 b- P' M' k/ d7 E5 Rspell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word?
/ B/ N1 H, r+ L/ P/ r/ \9 A
% A5 C; y% X5 a* k7 a: ^5. 明天我有事情要做。I have something to do tomorrow? ) P' L$ g2 `( {( C: m

5 z, I. k7 I% _4 l2 p+ gSorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow. 8 A& `" [. b" B4 v& v7 m! u7 E0 d
, L3 b4 [' w* }8 X
用I have something to $ y# L% U7 a6 H5 X
- w( m5 |6 t7 I- J" B
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:I’m tied & Q( ]% A1 `9 I" c- z8 a! l! r

* n6 }8 _( c; P& Q0 Hup.还有其他的说法:I’m I can’t make it at that time. I’d love to, but I can’t, I
; c/ h) i6 i& M# [( ~' m
% J8 n; l$ R$ K1 e& L9 Z9 X0 Rhave to stay at home.
5 H) R; G' u4 u6 J  M+ s" y( H, h1 t5 l! k
6. 我没有英文名。I haven’t English name. : A- H- a& ^! h  N4 H. T3 m
" [/ p2 J  M  r
I don’t have an English name. 5 M7 l: l8 M# W) d, x; m

+ ]6 m& F) ^% P: d+ Z" X* U7 QNote:许多人讲英语犯这样的错误,从语法角度来分析,可能是语法功底欠缺,因为have在这里是实义动词,而并不是在现在完成时里面那个没有意义的助动词。所以,这句话由肯定句变成否定句要加助动词。
- }1 X6 u8 X# o; B4 d4 \, _% D: f+ [' Z5 J6 e  D% t, v
明白道理是一回事,习惯是另一回事,请您再说几话:我没有钱;I don’t have any money.我没有兄弟姐妹;I don’t have any 2 L# I3 \9 l2 i0 s7 {; ~0 j8 ]& ?

; H" F" K# k1 y  K( G. B1 U% Vbrothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car. % O: h! G. P( `6 M; m; X$ {! w5 E

; K) M/ \7 n& y1 B+ {/ K. F# @% U7. 我想我不行。I think I can’t.
# K* a. n, e. A4 X. T7 K/ o# }% n" u- E" N& E
I don’t think I can.
' H8 j2 g9 v2 w
; @0 d0 H8 k. f/ |+ B% T$ o" q7 V0 ^Note:这一组然是个习惯问题,在语法上称为否定前置,这就是汉语里面说“我想我不会”的时候,英语里面总是说“我不认为我会”。以后您在说类似的英语句子的时候,只要您留心,也会习惯英语的说法的, % D/ S4 @+ J% t0 I; c
/ z0 a* w1 ^! F0 {
8. 我的舞也跳得不好。I don’t dance well too. & n7 C! R; q0 c. @+ w' Z

3 e+ v% L  [8 sI am not a very good dancer either. . c  V6 O) l0 Q. N) E7 V$ ~
. ?. T4 g4 g& J8 T. K
Note:当我们说不擅长做什么事情的时候,英语里面通常用not good at something,英语的思维甚至直接踊跃到:我不是一个好的舞者。 ; n( b2 g7 w% ~  j: H' V5 C
* V6 Y  G# n$ L( f
9. 现在几点钟了?What time is it now? 7 E0 D) e5 m# B5 _  K0 \; ^

# z- N. u. m, @5 ~; _# h4 @8 G3 }What time is it, please? * f; I7 d4 l+ ?. k& M" {
$ ~" \/ q  B& @" s# [0 @' z/ Q
Note:What time is it now这是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子,讲英语的时候没有必要说now,因为您不可能问what time was it
8 ~* m0 o# Z0 l2 @7 f
) Z/ I+ k% F7 G0 v2 Z$ N7 ?( P/ [/ byesterday, 或者what time is it tommorow?所以符合英语习惯的说法是:请问现在几点了?还有一种说法是:How are we - [0 n9 s; F6 M9 F3 q
  `( }( G) {0 G# U, ^6 @
doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适

10. 我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor. 1 i! n' z3 U% {0 |# v4 c0 j

3 G7 `9 _# |) K& K1 gpoor. 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.
+ |% a" z% `  u7 p5 E- B3 L; e( H3 ?2 @3 k9 e- Y2 A$ Y# q
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。
$ c0 j/ {7 p& T% X; M; x& M. k( b
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。
7 P5 C0 ^  _) Z7 Z, l8 o4 y3 Q8 X0 f3 o5 _- ]5 ?
我坚信,先不谈别的,如果您现在就苦下功夫,把这本薄薄的《英语54321》吃通吃透,您的英语水平立即就会迅速的提高。所以您再也不用说:我的英语很poor.
( m/ g) X, U: C- H# G' [7 u, F- m1 }( U2 T- n5 P3 [  V
您可以实事求事地说,我的英语还不算十分流利,但至少我在进步。   I# |$ G. c! s, J. G

1 g5 n3 @& Y1 d( I3 X* o+ c
