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。
9. 现在几点钟了?
What time is it now?
What time is it, please?
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 yesterday, 或者what time is it tomorrow?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
doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适
10. 我的英语很糟糕。
My English is poor.
I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.
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 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.
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。
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。
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。
11. 你愿意参加我们的晚会吗?
Would you like to join our party on Friday?
Would you like to come to our party on Friday night?
Note:join往往是指参加俱乐部或者协会,如:join a health club; join the Communist
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。
12. 我没有经验。
I have no experience.
I am I don’t know much about that.
Note:I have no experience这句话听起来古里古怪,因为您只需要说:那方面我懂得不多,或者这方面我不在行,就行了。I am not
really an expert in this area.
13. 我没有男朋友。
I have no boyfriend.
I don’t have a boyfriend.
14. 他的身体很健康。
His body is healthy.
He is in good health. You can also say: He’s healthy.
15. 价钱很昂贵/便宜。
The price is too expensive/cheap.
The price is too high/ rather low. |
