前几天,外教登门去拜见未来丈母娘,回到学校,学生们关切的询问他,中国丈母娘怎么样呀?他摇了摇头,只说了一句:“Oh,You don't go
there!”什么意思?
You don't go there 和“去哪里”没有半毛钱关系,究竟什么意思,看完今天的文章你就明白了!
No.1
You don't go there
你别跟我提这个事
✦ 外国人经常说的口头语!
| 当别人和你谈起了涉及你痛点的事情,你想结束话题,你就可以说You don't go there, 来表达:“你别和我提这个事”
| You don't go there 比 you don't mention it 更加口语化,委婉自然的让对方不要再问下去.
| 例句:
Have you bought a house?
买房了吗?
Don't go there.
咱不聊这个。
No.2
You don't say
OMG!真的呀!
✦ 真的吗? = really?
Really是带有怀疑性质的问 “真的,假的?”带有质疑,不相信对方的意思!
✦ 真的呀! = You don't say!
You don't say 表示惊讶于对方说的话,意思是天呢!真的呀!
| 例句:
I'm a writer.
我是作家
You don't say. What kind of book are you writing?'
真的呀!那你写哪方面的书?(太惊喜了,我居然认识了个作家)
No.3
You don't ......
不让别人做某事--不礼貌
✦ 表达不让别人做某事,尽量不使用“don't ”因为:不礼貌!
| 礼貌的表达:
You'd better not go there.
你最好别去那里
You'd better not go there alone by reason of your age.
由于你的年龄关系,你最好不要单独去那里。
