1. I very like it
: `% M1 t  M7 C  g- nI like it very much. ; r/ p# ?4 o3 o0 }

; \3 h- c! f- v: o! m) Z  @2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。
. C) V! e7 E0 K" n" H
8 O7 `8 b" p3 RThe price is very suitable for me. - L  x4 m) Y" C6 ]% [8 m0 x

) i" C1 `) a, D7 \5 zThe price is right.   o: G4 j/ z3 }7 ]" P
- G- v9 E* g3 P" N- f$ p8 s) C5 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
1 |! a! U6 V0 l# u/ T: S
$ n& i! \. b. w9 P0 H4 tprogramme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。
- b' d. g$ `: L3 R. m7 e
8 h5 J- n) p3 K( W$ s9 \. u3. 你是做什么工作的呢?What’s your job?
! K0 q% ^3 o& n5 G( U$ k7 k/ }, H* _% N2 b" i2 K& J
Are you working at the moment?
: J: S: b. K9 d# ?
% j. a, g4 U7 o, \+ FNote:what’s your 8 v5 K! `' B5 O4 m2 {

% J4 d* h" j% ojob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 R8 \) q9 X" ?. |2 L2 i6 t5 J8 a
+ H$ t& t4 w7 h6 u
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
9 K8 l: x- U9 X8 E$ {0 {% ]5 X1 ?! M: L; e0 ]
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
, X0 v* n4 h% v! }. J5 G) y7 u/ v9 q! p- A6 o- q
4. 用英语怎么说?How to say?
+ j$ e' i- m. Q
/ `5 \$ p  b9 @How do you say this in English?
2 b. C" G4 c! i/ M2 N' }# V4 k: w. p( Q) z* ?: }
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 5 [- t6 W6 f4 \8 S; w8 W; Z) y  D
# m2 U: M2 y( L+ W5 ]. B
spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word?
& t6 H) @, q9 ]2 b: x: p
! R9 Q' v4 n7 B7 s$ J$ y5. 明天我有事情要做。I have something to do tomorrow?
0 ]3 k1 i  U/ J- n' ~) S: E1 V4 s0 T2 S& H$ ~. ?" A, {
Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
5 T9 ~1 s5 y8 h) N. u$ F  U5 x) k6 X' b3 m6 j0 D
用I have something to
  N9 X) T  T" @8 M9 X
0 _* O# X( I: R4 udo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 ) ]6 d  {. w# ^

6 I8 h/ k- ~( r7 H9 Y7 }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
) s  o5 f9 ?# q$ a4 B# s" ]* [. D7 ?  h/ V& p
have to stay at home.
" @5 e% H( \  M7 P) Q
7 I0 A$ G8 D! b1 t6. 我没有英文名。I haven’t English name. * D7 y3 M' k8 o5 R( N

% ]4 x" P% k! d7 c" OI don’t have an English name.
7 f/ U3 c) f/ C# p+ _  x5 i
& R' s! F! l5 e! W; l- vNote: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。
2 Y0 M- g3 w9 v) ~" e9 D, u3 u- V' i5 T+ J# V3 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
: r. }/ }+ F, E* F# S  {1 _" U* J
: o4 U# h2 ]/ R. T9 i. qbrothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car.
" \- S" A2 _  ?# o" M7 U8 h
/ u5 ]! \. V0 t7. 我想我不行。I think I can’t.
4 e9 n+ t3 P2 g: w  g$ ]. J: z1 C( `! W! r+ |9 l8 [) _
I don’t think I can. ! \, r. e6 W$ t; N9 i( I
' [& i* {5 E) g2 k  K
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, 8 a$ w7 }; g2 M* ^( {; i/ j; X
. ^, ]3 V6 W6 \+ b  Z  x
8. 我的舞也跳得不好。I don’t dance well too. ' Y" A2 n: W) j. y& E
' V' T" c; q6 R1 I" s- C7 u
I am not a very good dancer either. - Z" f5 U7 L  Y3 I- @# U! [& k3 @

7 T0 M3 R1 J3 {( ?1 E% cNote: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。 9 w2 z2 M2 i/ k: Q- p' E

6 S) D, h. W2 q3 i; \, {/ m9. 现在几点钟了?What time is it now? 2 e3 L$ _/ o9 I/ x) L
0 n/ j6 A* v% e5 n  m. {
What time is it, please?
/ q' B7 [- k- ^6 k4 H" F" R! i7 O! v' f" V4 i
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 9 u0 j, x* e0 g$ A2 _. Z
$ T/ B5 Q. Z- s* Q, {7 f" W+ \/ H
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 : B# Z7 U4 N( l$ g# x; f

8 V6 Z7 j8 R9 S, f) K; z$ j4 sdoing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适
& @% W" c0 W  Y7 J% x5 D# I
: J; T1 v7 B: S10. 我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor.
! c7 H' U6 f% T1 p, z. @. T
3 [/ P5 m* ]% M2 i  ^/ hI am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.
  I. i2 t/ x5 T! {) b9 J# t  R( C! z6 s# o# j& B% V  r8 \+ c
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,我从来没有遇到一个美国人对我说:My Chinese is 5 [4 V0 |) ?! u( @! B# Q

, {1 ^( H" K& _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. 2 B% M) C, A1 ]3 P: \: _

4 a1 P5 i! p- B" B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。
# t  M! ?+ `. S3 J/ n  t0 y$ v* [9 c( Q" L/ L; Y% w
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。 ) B$ @9 L+ v" i5 c

! a7 H' p" f9 H5 [/ S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 A2 z' R+ s( b6 J& F0 w/ t* q, A/ n. W8 Y! Y9 V4 A
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。 9 g, a( [2 z2 \

1 z. C% w* Y# [' k1 ^2 Y) E& Y6 x
3 B' C: k' W- g& z% S9 \Note:join往往是指参加俱乐部或者协会,如:join a health club; join the Communist
8 b: J2 _, K* O& ^8 p. g8 S& ?0 g, r( A4 H! W
Party.事实上,常常与party搭配的动词的come 或者go。如go a wild party,或者come to a Christmas Party。 0 q7 K% F8 q6 z! {

( }9 j7 A% R2 t- b% n, \  L; r当然。Sure. / Certainly.(这种说法是正确的)
/ q. o9 x- S# M0 O# Q
1 R1 k: y% h$ f" h  a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
8 k, j( H" P! c' F1 f) X( _
$ R1 n# y/ r$ I# s; D+ Fcourse后面隐含的一句话是“当然我知道啦!难道我是一个傻瓜吗?”因此,of 1 t) m, w8 U: E! I- i" H% a5 @

% E0 l1 O. S. D! G- ^& H; tcourse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
3 d! \4 q; n8 D+ |9 M1 d) b* e; H: ?' I# P4 K
not也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not.   n. s2 q0 u1 _' f, O0 [
