老杨团队,追求完美;客户至上,服务到位!
1. I very like it / C& [# i, c$ e. @& c* x- Y6 ]0 ^
I like it very much.
2 X1 ?3 j4 }! [5 ?2 i- R
  R- L; h# A, h( P+ p2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。 ! ^; {. B% X7 S' P1 i, }

- }: V* E' t8 K) vThe price is very suitable for me.
( }1 d: B: q$ n& Q/ S0 W
% z+ |. Y$ g0 m! I; Z9 tThe price is right. 6 {# B7 \; ?# @
& k3 C* i: q% y3 c& P5 c
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
6 G& ?- n, _  h1 l( ]0 F9 P! c% @# M8 B& n7 Y- H% M
programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。 1 E8 ~% h8 l9 X- M% p
% }& `8 ?4 _. C! D7 I4 G3 \7 M3 t
3. 你是做什么工作的呢?What’s your job?
1 O/ V, _3 x* _1 g6 o. T5 S2 n! h' B, Q' c1 p8 t& O8 ]8 o5 h
Are you working at the moment?
: l  s4 @3 K$ G7 D% T
* H0 T  _& d  }9 s+ L9 ^Note:what’s your " U5 C9 N; l) `

1 g6 I7 J3 A( N( ~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 % d- Y) J* W. C

% Q8 ^4 ?) O* a1 a0 {/ @9 g* s  gat 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 % h2 z& `5 O% r# g1 D% M5 O$ T
5 ~6 h, ^! ~6 G3 Q% u, [$ }
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 # Y* t& `$ z- I, c5 Z! C; f
/ F* Q) V7 m" {) ~6 u! i2 w1 q7 I
4. 用英语怎么说?How to say?
# N1 l8 S- F) R5 T, @  w: C8 C2 S/ p4 f& l& I/ F$ R% k8 u% e
How do you say this in English?
) c! J% \0 ?9 L1 [
& s. y! N/ P/ R2 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
9 ]* Y, U+ Y! S( b
/ z& d& u4 p" P( @. t1 N. espell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word?
+ G3 `2 |1 g' F* G+ P) x5 K' [1 i( L9 [/ x7 g0 w" h
5. 明天我有事情要做。I have something to do tomorrow? 1 N& X9 m7 G4 J7 f+ T7 [
3 V4 `" `0 y$ y) p
Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow. ! d* z2 {" e5 b& |' f
# v; B& F6 W) M. n! s' ^
用I have something to
$ `* Z6 \* A* c) C- @7 q: N8 k. S0 c/ {5 T
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 . N; j$ W+ ], [& r' j, f
' S4 b& B0 {' `: c
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
) }" G/ n7 X) g3 d7 B8 K* d2 a5 x
& z1 V* r: D* ?3 j: k. W/ Zhave to stay at home.
* ~3 y" a3 l6 ^) z6 |. N* H  Q
; E. j% k9 p2 b& e8 ]2 Q: t" ^6. 我没有英文名。I haven’t English name.
1 T3 D9 P5 ?$ C  ?3 F5 l3 j' r# \6 o# v
I don’t have an English name. ( `! X! S/ w& b' @9 c* H5 b

- b0 C. M6 J: D- O! M. mNote: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。 # @# j3 Y$ |; ~8 }5 {

. z3 D( V# F5 x8 v5 \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
3 M; c: w+ K8 z& D' B$ p7 }& u
$ I6 b7 Y; {( d* J; Gbrothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car. 2 S$ f( T% K% k! k6 Q
" S& g, Y/ T: x
7. 我想我不行。I think I can’t. % u# A  i. u" D' G2 v- a4 c( e7 B

' `# \: L3 T3 W9 Q; s+ EI don’t think I can. 9 h$ X. X9 l( s6 a
4 J& o3 O0 F6 ]3 U* w' c( r5 h- E  I
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, . b* T' y1 X2 t3 o  c

/ E& w7 Y! V/ ~8. 我的舞也跳得不好。I don’t dance well too. & c! K4 E: H. `  ]  {0 I9 F1 ]
0 I1 G: k' T! k. ^4 Z0 h: [
I am not a very good dancer either. 0 E, @2 f7 I2 ?  {" |& L; x; ]

: P* {3 Q$ {; `; {3 `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。
* ~# O# P& X/ j" `8 W% v5 e4 m& S, d
: n  I5 s- @" w. t5 x9. 现在几点钟了?What time is it now?
: X  |# J( I0 D$ k& q
* L: a1 f/ K. C6 |( [What time is it, please?
/ [' z( O5 T2 h9 W3 |
) A# m6 Y" w# iNote: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
- f* R2 k6 e, r) F% b/ r% q  V( m# ~! j3 R% U/ I6 r
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
8 R: [7 v6 `7 o2 K, E. Q; [8 z; N; e
doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适 % u! h/ V) W8 J8 l" ^, P; g) C6 @. ]
+ U. i6 T5 ^. J6 b+ K
10. 我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor.
& j! ]3 P+ `) N$ E: }+ e( T3 \, A3 W8 f$ T
I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving. - T, P; y. `& D5 V* t! W$ g
6 W. ~& a$ v! ?
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 H+ t2 A( g/ C, b- V1 \8 w1 f
5 e9 L' y: o4 U8 K; @6 vpoor. 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 ?& W7 [4 I$ N0 U$ D" t# C- R" j" u6 N) E# @3 J
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。 8 D! O4 a4 Q% W! r0 v2 L
# i9 t" j- p0 m/ t4 v( u
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。 5 ?. l0 }0 C1 d2 ]
3 ~# Y8 |* k2 e4 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. 7 p7 R$ R; A5 m  r

0 _: z+ @6 a- h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。 ) @  F: E' a; @) I+ I0 ?

1 \) }2 T2 Q) A' n4 E
; b0 q) O8 R& ~0 _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 ( i1 V. o; T+ x( }$ u
* P2 J9 a% X0 b% n
course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 ) A! T- ~/ t$ Y( l* Z9 ^
4 e( }/ v4 a+ d  P/ Y* }
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
% j6 E! n3 M, l1 q( r2 c. H
  S4 ^9 `0 {- [! _# c4 fnot也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not.
