老杨团队,追求完美;客户至上,服务到位!
1. I very like it & y2 `; l! Q0 w3 _
I like it very much.
. w' r: @* G1 {, Z/ ]2 _
4 T2 m% d5 v  C2 l2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。
) @. `3 x0 N0 t  |1 k8 y3 R' t' r( |0 P2 n) I/ A% J- F% x$ `) T& K0 ~5 M
The price is very suitable for me.
; c% N3 `" n6 Y' b
% M( `5 I" U$ n0 h7 B( ~! HThe price is right. ! t( O, i, @" N' M" w
! F; N4 r5 L2 I- t/ X& G% j
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
* t4 D' \* O0 w/ ?3 \: [; Q# I; x: m7 _* n3 P" K* |
programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。 , b& _( V  x  w" B8 h9 d
7 K3 q; {. j8 k8 X+ k' x" @
3. 你是做什么工作的呢?What’s your job? " n! D# ~3 I5 U% ~& e$ R: H5 O
+ @- h! X& v; c3 m
Are you working at the moment?
0 c. _" T" g  D1 C+ d9 O% J, a2 Y+ [
Note:what’s your
* i9 j) E* b5 S# D3 j7 g/ ~. A1 O0 ^# N' B
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 ( a* g) \5 w5 S3 q1 H' U( C

% D# p8 k3 P: i8 }$ c) cat 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
* I1 H  t$ C6 U& b1 i- W
; h2 U7 Y; h4 j5 ?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 ) h6 ?9 I9 u; p2 [, ^& e
3 W6 S. @1 n( a: R7 L
4. 用英语怎么说?How to say? / y3 @9 N. j6 V) B+ C* c' P" d' O7 K

0 W2 W2 y/ ^; a% g: j# Z5 bHow do you say this in English?
8 W  y* g4 r. H5 O- l  `0 M$ U) g4 y9 @9 p6 F9 Y
Note: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
4 M! D9 k6 F% c: ?+ S$ d4 e! L) N( a
spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word? ( U6 e& z% Z8 Z( p2 e8 a
) s. ^5 ]8 F  j/ I- t# Y# }
5. 明天我有事情要做。I have something to do tomorrow?
  d- k1 c9 U6 I! K7 c. n
7 h0 U+ p) d, A6 `/ ?( E& f$ L' wSorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow. $ S8 p4 q  y, U) b3 i1 T. A
& \8 Y6 w/ o; h! W5 c, R4 {
用I have something to 0 ^3 x- |7 x3 T: p1 z. R2 \3 E" U

' a. W, X% e. j5 qdo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
! t- T0 w2 H; ?8 z! L& ^" D, G2 H9 O  i3 |/ W" V1 ]) t5 S( `  u- V
up.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
+ Y; D0 e4 t# F4 u, }, N
. `/ a$ k" [4 D# d- _3 nhave to stay at home. . I* W0 P1 H! E7 Z- J8 e
! A( @8 t4 ?+ H4 ^" ?: r
6. 我没有英文名。I haven’t English name. 8 N. |/ T( X+ t" x! p9 J& x

2 U  Y( l- P& tI don’t have an English name. 1 u" x' h! O* r- c

( X; K, O7 d3 I3 G7 e- v7 q/ ^Note: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 h" W: k; J7 @. D$ H+ `1 h

& Y+ d7 y& M4 }; {" f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 " _8 V6 T/ H/ T2 k; `
. S: Q$ h% G! L6 A, D1 E
brothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car. ! v0 T& {, Y' p. Z+ t
& M3 w- K- H: A" l
7. 我想我不行。I think I can’t. . ]: J  ]+ s) @* q4 Z1 ]
: y  }5 |$ q/ t9 S: d+ b
I don’t think I can. 6 {6 {  q% e6 ]& Z# O8 F
: T0 }3 g% g" R3 g* Z
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,
% U5 x  A% }1 z, g. f2 d9 L( u# R# U
8. 我的舞也跳得不好。I don’t dance well too.
* e3 Q  E) n2 G4 }5 g: l; a
! \% L4 Q' x0 U# X  w% yI am not a very good dancer either. . t8 W) V1 [0 ~8 l

' p, S# D" f: b3 SNote: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。
& l3 F: \' Z, U1 Q# O' J
3 F: O6 _( U" c3 N0 W9. 现在几点钟了?What time is it now?
9 V' J3 r3 O4 f1 w, B/ ^' b2 U5 ~+ }$ ^5 ]  R* Y
What time is it, please? 3 D- W1 F. [2 g9 m6 F
0 |& N+ u$ v: M9 E2 o
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
. r% \/ {6 b4 T- K9 r) B4 E+ U; O% W' u9 e6 S. @
yesterday, 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
. j9 b( i8 M, M9 P/ d9 O, g, j% B
, y. b- V1 v" j1 \' F) n1 D1 y1 _doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适
# |8 X4 d4 }  m- n( J0 f( S% T' ?8 r% R- G; _. _
10. 我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor. 4 ^9 F% W" P! t0 ~* g5 M' m% T
8 h: h% W2 E9 [1 [4 J
I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving. ! \7 e* K2 Q: C( Q

* `, ?' G! Z# w% T3 k- j5 l1 D: uNote: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,我从来没有遇到一个美国人对我说:My Chinese is
' z# Z/ p' D+ a7 Y& z
5 D" t4 y7 W; [$ ]% Epoor. 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.
8 e- W6 D3 I# l* w3 i, j3 Q) X8 L9 B  ?- F4 o7 i2 k
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。 2 S# b4 E, Q. p# ]% O/ O

8 I7 {/ X1 G& t% ~9 m" L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。 ( `1 p) O& D7 w& X1 [1 K: {: D

7 P% f$ \7 z0 r. L/ ^6 P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. 4 z, b5 x: M' [& ?# b0 H0 p( R

+ c; D& u2 O5 G- _5 h' M! v# D' q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。

当然。Sure. / Certainly.(这种说法是正确的)

6 Y- V2 x4 s% j' W% _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

' a9 U/ d; P; }4 R; E+ ?5 W: D" y* W0 [. B% ]
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
' Y% Z, U1 p! g  t6 E0 Y2 r: s4 t, ^7 r# `6 s
not也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not. % ]/ L9 H1 u( m. P7 l
