老杨团队,追求完美;客户至上,服务到位!
1. I very like it
& N4 }1 [$ B0 J1 {+ z" K+ JI like it very much.
8 k# b7 q. H9 X5 ]! w0 C4 R  K. p* w$ z: M0 F* \
2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。 9 S1 U- T, c6 G

- D5 o/ j' ?8 X! z2 bThe price is very suitable for me.
. z& z& [$ }: S, A6 D' @3 Z1 c0 y5 q5 F+ M' j3 N/ \+ f9 N
The price is right.
4 D" \) l7 k9 a* x8 g& p3 z$ A3 }7 j3 ~
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
9 ]9 R8 ?4 q3 ]  n% ?- b- \1 t* t2 t; v2 f) N2 w' ]7 [
programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。 5 j) r; j- w: a* N1 n# U

$ D9 p; }7 y  A) ?+ _  v2 w3. 你是做什么工作的呢?What’s your job? 9 l0 s8 R8 b& L- v- E
' J* T' e" u2 ?! @* w
Are you working at the moment?
7 W- d; j% f4 ^, \
: F* w9 m2 o7 q8 D2 g% [% ^Note:what’s your
% v6 o' q  _) d* ~# `+ B/ v$ m( o, ~/ ]
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 2 L/ G5 y  K! S  `8 u. k7 P$ O
6 H" O) U+ w) d/ ]- q5 Y
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 : j7 e) ?! o. B* W1 _% O8 I* _

/ ~2 j  g- @6 y% d% G1 z5 R- Bline 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 5 u  [. ~0 I  p' d, F3 A) b
" }& k- v% P) v
4. 用英语怎么说?How to say?
1 ~, ^  ~$ P( A  w/ E  F. f5 V
0 p6 _5 s0 q0 p( p  o0 C; CHow do you say this in English?
) B" K3 p" i+ A% S. J2 N5 t9 d7 a% r, N5 v) h" f) a
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 + g: k! p2 O* E$ X  E* N2 Z
& [* Y/ Y" W- x! `1 \( u
spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word?
+ u* j! c! S5 d1 O+ P( \$ \+ f. y) M8 J& n" L* L1 F
5. 明天我有事情要做。I have something to do tomorrow? * s1 V5 |2 l* C- s

* [% W8 ]- S7 _3 s* bSorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
' h9 ?) \& f: W0 \- y4 \( i
# J$ Y. }+ h9 j用I have something to
, P! c) K  ]$ W) M3 s  V; q* x$ {5 e' x; X' L
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 . z9 P) m9 B- U# z# {# f0 D$ N6 q
. |; F6 ], `$ l" A9 u( z
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
& v" B3 @' }: V2 k, b0 U6 D- I0 P& _1 |) {1 G
have to stay at home. ) ]4 |( U* p+ P: T* |( c' j9 R

9 w/ T: {* h7 |# J0 k6. 我没有英文名。I haven’t English name. ! `" q+ \. L8 j$ @+ }4 n2 W, a
0 y( R) t* U/ S- q6 A
I don’t have an English name. " m1 S% _4 d, S

! I4 E1 u1 t* F8 K, P9 x: ONote: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。
% k2 t' P5 l, K: q, |) P8 @) p) A+ s/ n
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 7 K+ @& v4 y$ N0 j8 b) P$ Q8 O

5 ~0 z% h0 j, t0 }! j1 Fbrothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car. - K0 Z; h; A( k

+ \( Y) d% m, p9 B: r7. 我想我不行。I think I can’t.
5 N  `9 f/ O8 L! P6 S7 B$ `7 q
% Z# w9 S0 L" U  f0 RI don’t think I can. ; J. L7 m1 ~$ J

6 w) h( c% e! I1 [0 N4 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, 2 i( O  I6 E  e: }

6 {) K4 Z' c2 j% _: O8. 我的舞也跳得不好。I don’t dance well too.
/ d6 S( R+ E5 P" Q3 x; _$ f8 Y1 V; p! |2 B
I am not a very good dancer either.
; ~& K9 a  h4 U1 R! |5 n' O- }3 G6 q+ E
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。 ; \% R$ |& J" j

4 y" q3 b5 u0 R' j4 Z1 ^% [9. 现在几点钟了?What time is it now? $ p  ?# ]% [; K1 C  C+ H
" _4 l! T% A, v2 D6 ?4 J9 t
What time is it, please? ! N( ]" q9 I2 z. V% E! L" g
& }0 x* K; \3 V) u' I, R  |
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
7 S) c* U7 k6 U- z' Q. N$ X
0 J( E3 t" ^0 ]2 i5 }4 R  Qyesterday, 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   E; c! E* i! ~" Z2 b0 p" s) K9 O; t& h
7 w7 z* D8 O& H( Q4 _2 A; b* |+ S
doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适 6 F6 ^% Q/ G) [7 {7 m* [4 Y* E; H
6 s" j2 n2 E" H) w. Y
10. 我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor.
' s: W8 z! W  h9 a" \! T% ~8 j! O: [7 v& D4 k7 }6 h
I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.   \( y/ s6 r& d
2 d6 W2 n) `6 c
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 ( ?1 E' r* p$ {; M) M1 ]
) J/ P: n/ K/ q/ v
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. - F& t, [2 Q5 \! \8 W8 y0 J  J

, O, a; e+ o! u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。 * D: \: C% g' g

3 @7 v7 ^7 s3 P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。
* i* J: ~8 S" \3 d2 I+ u+ k1 h6 w& r+ j7 U& r$ k# Y
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.

0 X* p- u- z2 T# z! G/ I当然。Sure. / Certainly.(这种说法是正确的)
& b7 v1 H" T* H, y2 R8 N/ T9 c. I3 |
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
+ f* S9 l1 M! g: a2 Z9 U& ?3 D& N9 E, e, |; Z7 H, ~
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
6 O( z9 F% U- W8 F% D4 t+ F1 l- `
' D9 m; |! c- _4 H9 q& C& |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 : C9 d" z5 ^2 k7 ~
