1. I very like it
% T* t# S' _; {2 [: W) |$ p7 t4 SI like it very much.
( b# N% Z- f/ y! C4 r7 R
8 e0 M% V' {" J; I% _9 h2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。 0 _5 C0 A" R. D" q9 u, ^4 [6 M

1 W& S2 a/ J6 W/ xThe price is right.
: C% L9 n2 B- Y, W% f( q# V0 G0 {6 T# S2 F# b0 }
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
* \/ f& w, H5 p! O
, c# S% ]* A! g+ v/ cprogramme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。 % j) e3 n: j# _" B( _% C

& E' m( g& f8 n6 M3. 你是做什么工作的呢?What’s your job? 0 V' H0 ?7 j9 {6 @$ w# ]% B8 h4 Y

Note:what’s your
) p0 S5 E; v" n- Z3 C) ^3 f
! s/ l- `1 V6 C+ L, @/ s2 L9 wjob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 + r9 \% Q9 U" W3 j3 f6 x
3 ]0 G' N6 D8 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 % U- t- w1 K5 n) J$ c7 o. w# U" @
4 v. @& K1 m# ]  u1 o4 N
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 9 u( u; f* T1 P
1 |8 j8 r0 z# Q+ |9 M1 J+ a2 Q/ S
4. 用英语怎么说?How to say?
3 l3 e! Q9 k2 k5 L$ J) V# C
, V/ I9 s' q! V7 H) p' ?  uHow do you say this in English?
1 T4 {8 }& o+ c; H* ^" H
, d! d2 i9 s& q# k3 dNote: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
" w0 C: t6 o( Z) }( i: X+ i4 r& t/ q* L4 Z( t7 m* f. Y% B
spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word?
  {: d# g1 g. p3 ^: X9 Y* T$ k
$ Z' q1 g+ x- P& X- P& D5. 明天我有事情要做。I have something to do tomorrow? 2 M% p' \( h1 I/ i) H4 ^& q
: {1 x0 h2 c5 f
Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
3 m$ S' \& G' S* g# M' ^3 m% A% T, k
6 Y* z# i& c; {$ w# z; Y& H- M用I have something to
$ ?% t' p1 |  g' b: N9 E" K% T6 ]0 Y8 C! Q! D7 Q- w) r
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
5 P/ n1 B; `0 O5 i( ~9 [& r& ?7 D
& s" v0 v$ h+ lup.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 & Y2 M4 w8 h6 ~0 N- J  e. @. o: i' T
1 t! O- O1 m! }' A& n$ W9 O
have to stay at home.
9 h2 j  J, o" S9 Y0 w$ x5 W( G  L5 q* n2 B
6. 我没有英文名。I haven’t English name. / U, ^' T# K6 h- U7 m7 D

5 o  t6 ?) j1 b$ sI don’t have an English name. 9 H" e/ @! [! [1 x" }

7 h! x0 |* a9 g" I" bNote: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。
- q+ X* f' ~& Y& i, x& [
9 C) ^2 l$ ^, x2 D$ c& @' D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
, m+ [/ b" p, t9 i
; @1 ~- _3 \% b( Zbrothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car.
; t9 o, r" N0 D6 ~
  H' {5 E; T. m/ j( }7. 我想我不行。I think I can’t. 5 \7 W3 X7 S) a+ x! H
; h# }2 U- Z8 U" H' e
I don’t think I can.
; d$ H7 X/ _; j+ B+ \
; }" v1 z, m# a* |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" ?6 n6 Z2 A1 \6 h( q

  [8 I2 R8 n% \& k7 _0 C# @8. 我的舞也跳得不好。I don’t dance well too. * w6 Y* Z; d1 i
5 E& b2 ~3 h& N# o
I am not a very good dancer either. " `8 |1 I7 d, m8 J! L; `

/ ^0 A) F7 P. D) |" i0 i% PNote: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。
- _2 \+ I6 d" M3 w" J1 ?$ l! V: f9 v6 s& m
9. 现在几点钟了?What time is it now?
, P) _2 }4 O, B/ o6 `
4 C* J$ B, c6 w, V. r6 hWhat time is it, please? 4 k/ U6 |9 X3 K2 W( b' Q: A  M1 Q

6 w; w$ D1 l8 G" QNote: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 - ]1 A+ S* c: `8 R( `6 e
# T, X. M- Y8 r+ P* Y  W* I
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 ' f! w; _0 A- o5 X; c

& q. l# b5 B, Bdoing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适
) @! q& ~: P2 Q! H) ^
' k7 D. s! P5 r& `7 q3 n  u10. 我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor.
- r3 j4 M4 q6 y0 z! ?' j7 L8 R9 E
- M  u' A9 ?- u2 ?# t) r6 L; jI am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.
  C  o! ?1 S4 b9 V7 M; o& W2 O% u! I, S$ a
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 * d" }6 \+ h6 \5 d
& T0 q( @6 b7 T# n6 [9 @/ X
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. 5 L( c: Y' a$ g$ Q
/ l  _8 w: k2 _
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。
% U# c; j+ Y& _% |; M0 m3 j% U. _% f+ }9 p4 Z% ^9 t
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。 ; l0 ^* ^* w9 a
% P* b  ?* N" k- [; U
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. ( D9 O3 n/ c, l# ~! Z

$ N9 w( ?' ~! O2 O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。

Note:join往往是指参加俱乐部或者协会,如:join a health club; join the Communist 4 K8 K5 w# M6 Q4 {

4 q* A7 N# v& N2 FParty.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。 7 U  D- C! q* Z* ?1 o5 d; {# s8 n

; Q" g5 p6 d! h5 s1 {& }4 j0 h$ k; A) L6 P# ^$ N
当然。Sure. / Certainly.(这种说法是正确的)
* r. m3 O/ l: E% ?3 C, p& S3 z7 _9 G* M" |2 `  {  Y8 n
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
3 J& z; i/ o! J# ]2 S, g
$ x& u0 k9 @# K8 Y+ Ycourse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
! g  U& h. D8 ?* ]# A& f* r# _( n, f. j6 y! e1 t
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 * x2 B6 j1 _& \' F

# C1 J3 x/ ]" D/ v; j" Y7 H& ynot也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not. + p- B/ S! R9 k
