以下是一些常見(jiàn)關(guān)于給出自己看法的各種回答,但實(shí)際上卻不是那么合適。
1.-How was the movie? 電影怎么樣?
-So-so/It's so-so.
so-so adj. 平常的;不好也不壞的
So-so 但是回答時(shí)給對(duì)方的感覺(jué)就是"不好;不太好",未給出明確回答。
2.- I think this movie is a little boring. 我覺(jué)得這部電影有點(diǎn)無(wú)聊。
- Same. (X)
Same的意思是"相同", 但是當(dāng)你試圖和別人聊天的時(shí)候,這樣回答會(huì)給人一種掃興的感覺(jué),如果你同意對(duì)方的觀點(diǎn),可以試著用以下的回答替換:
-Well, I agree. It was boring, but...(最好加上自己的看法)
3.-Did you like the new restaurant that you went last night?
-你喜歡你昨晚去的那家新餐館嗎?
-Sure. (X)
當(dāng)表示自己的看法時(shí),最好不直接用sure。
但是回答這類問(wèn)題時(shí),可以用Sure.
-Would you like some free Japanese lessons?
-Sure.
4.-Irene, do you have black hair?
-Of course I do, you can see it.
of course我們可能用來(lái)回答對(duì)方問(wèn)了一個(gè)極愚蠢的問(wèn)題,或者是對(duì)方明顯知道了答案的問(wèn)題;當(dāng)用of course來(lái)回答的時(shí)候,這個(gè)不等于yes, 反而是一種比較粗魯?shù)幕卮稹?/p>
但是以下的情況卻適合:
-Are you enjoying your English courses?
-Of course. (good answer)
5.-Do you like your teacher?
-Maybe. (X)
Maybe感覺(jué)你不打算告訴對(duì)方答案,不愿意說(shuō)清楚。
6.-How was your spicy pasta?
-It's spicy.
-It's spicy for me.(X) 不用在后面加for me, 因?yàn)槟憔褪钦f(shuō)話的那個(gè)人。
如果你想要強(qiáng)調(diào)(突出)某事時(shí),可以加上for me.
比如,當(dāng)你和你朋友都在吃同一樣?xùn)|西:
Your friend: It's spicy.
You: Oh, this is not spicy for me.
以下是一些當(dāng)你表達(dá)自己觀點(diǎn)時(shí),可以使用的好的表達(dá):
當(dāng)你被問(wèn)到你從未思考過(guò)的問(wèn)題時(shí),最好不要只說(shuō)I don't know.
可以用以下這些:
-I don't know, but, let me think...I think...
-I have never thought about that before, but...
這樣可以給你一些時(shí)間去思考,然后回答。
如果有人問(wèn)了你一些你不想回答的問(wèn)題:
-How was the movie last night?
-It was interesting.
(這個(gè)句子非常有用,它有正面的意思,表示你覺(jué)得這個(gè)東西或這件事情很有趣,但也要注意說(shuō)這句話時(shí)的語(yǔ)氣和表情,它也有負(fù)面的意思,表示其實(shí)你不是很感興趣。)
