老杨团队,追求完美;客户至上,服务到位!
1. I very like it
+ u. z7 |5 I" t4 D) y- k" j2 ~1 UI like it very much.
  ^0 t' D/ G/ g4 [3 R2 e
$ y; x' E/ I4 B# Y5 l+ o: L2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。 7 m6 m$ D- ~% i& j) r3 Y

4 a2 G- A; w" [: Z' [$ X& l* RThe price is very suitable for me.
9 g1 W  [0 M6 d/ t- h7 y6 r1 Y$ A: V( h
The price is right. # M  D7 C1 T% [! e6 E. P/ ]

! W5 ?; z  H$ T9 K# \; N" w7 |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 8 }: X: t( u0 F4 W3 S8 V, ?7 Y; M
- ^! O0 N* n/ o# r6 m- I
programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。
- L) m$ Z8 F0 R  I5 i9 c- q9 _1 j+ X5 x( T' i0 S% w1 L' X; Y
3. 你是做什么工作的呢?What’s your job? 7 F! I4 ]( _: f$ B  e: j
/ @+ I) b; C% J1 O% z9 x
Are you working at the moment? 3 T' D1 y1 I$ z" I; x0 [5 ~$ t6 v

* W' v0 s! c8 tNote:what’s your ! A0 @7 z7 a6 \/ {; J
9 {7 H5 @) }- R) [# e! D, B- c
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
7 ~; H8 k* J- w( _6 ]7 ^- X6 b/ M  U$ B  M4 X
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 ( b# ?4 q5 L% Z* t! h" J
5 _7 R/ y: o- I4 o0 n# Y
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
1 i$ i* O! |7 ^- u3 Q  q5 V& ?$ o3 K
4. 用英语怎么说?How to say? % b% }8 ^! V7 ^/ ?

: f2 @2 x, b& ~0 M4 _3 B/ C: @; E) sHow do you say this in English?
! w$ j+ |& a) A5 s9 o+ v& ]- V; X- F2 D' G
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 * u2 [2 v4 O+ m% S
3 e1 ~# |: H( S" T% Z6 x
spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word?
: _+ Y+ \2 _2 n0 V* H
" k: \+ m' l; P, B7 M" \$ @5. 明天我有事情要做。I have something to do tomorrow?
3 j) P* X, m, G: u6 P
  ^# E+ n, h  D3 P2 Z$ e, G1 Y3 xSorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
# W) q; i  k0 N- q
1 Z- b/ p  }6 f7 P2 {( a, W用I have something to " W. r1 ]! ?# X! p' n
# s- B8 r& O# z3 [0 z5 d
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 2 c( ^# N/ s. y; L7 i8 s5 e2 J- T0 h

7 Y) p- u( K  T# K6 F! _1 _" uup.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 9 `9 m3 _% q7 S; {

& V6 K" A7 \* f* O" Hhave to stay at home.
0 J8 y& G8 a! P; {, A0 W
1 }( [5 j  R, D4 n* l6. 我没有英文名。I haven’t English name. 7 H* I: z5 h8 Y/ J
/ o3 r8 H6 z( \" u, W
I don’t have an English name. ) `: X  Z$ D6 m6 L- H
( S$ t/ @! g8 d4 o
Note: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。
8 t: ], ?. C" k8 `+ s+ l2 m
# P& i1 d1 ~& i8 t3 g7 z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 $ o. W; ], d& I* d6 `( r- f

) r' m3 I( N& ?  y, cbrothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car. & [4 |1 }7 w- o3 E& @/ \) ^+ A

0 V4 f9 v! d8 q1 x) g0 W  ]7. 我想我不行。I think I can’t. 5 r( N/ n% d* b% J8 h
& Q3 e2 }3 u* s% G
I don’t think I can.
( ?+ x2 M0 J, ?& _2 x, a
& S8 ^0 p+ Q" r8 H+ S3 WNote: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,
& g- w6 \- w4 {/ W2 D7 @1 V, \5 i4 R0 B. S3 S& H9 Q
8. 我的舞也跳得不好。I don’t dance well too.
( v, N% a  P; p6 g6 ?
; L$ `% a  c! i- f" [0 aI am not a very good dancer either. : `2 L( r9 \( @( E( B% A
% o$ ?% `0 y. y
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。
! d  X1 }* b) v; F
& Z$ U7 f5 K" F9. 现在几点钟了?What time is it now? 9 n" Y5 Z( R: s' Y/ b* w

8 I6 r6 y& e! E2 EWhat time is it, please? : E8 M/ V, G; n5 L5 l. B5 P
$ h2 N9 @- C2 Q. \3 e
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
- P9 E/ {& Z3 [  \
, U6 r+ e3 [5 tyesterday, 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 , {. s7 W4 S+ q
8 e0 _2 I/ f5 R! o8 l
doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适
0 s+ A: n6 d  u, M3 t* }. `# m( b# P8 Z1 P: Z" u6 V( j# i; }; `9 H
10. 我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor. 2 d8 d: r6 |0 C! K5 Y

/ ]6 T% M, R% w: ^* ?I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.
  d6 ]  r+ t. h% z  R: L) }' {8 u# Q  Y! m  r% W9 V0 Z, A7 f# ~; @
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
# V3 \& H2 V6 B/ V0 l0 I/ d4 D: Q
* ^. ^* Q( ]' C/ ~# S1 E8 b  A3 @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.
- Q% L% a& T' o8 z& K, A6 Y: g% C% o) S; Q" t
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。 * B+ B* i3 o# ~0 S. `5 c9 w

* P. r0 l) l! y' V( Z: `4 ]+ }1 I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。
' P2 T3 r3 P8 S( \' i# k' p6 ], L, V5 }8 n3 l1 k5 W
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. / k; Y/ j9 G, G0 I( K

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。   O* e7 D1 r- W8 ~& B

当然。Sure. / Certainly.(这种说法是正确的) : L; f. p8 k7 e1 f5 G2 J' X

+ u/ \% l3 _( v, F5 `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
; y" J! m) d) V- X6 p: g6 l2 b- {! M4 Z4 V2 o
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
. n( S# X5 t. N: e* H6 I; J, x  E; u, t
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
/ @0 T; f  `% H$ L  q; \
2 R+ j) A4 M6 H8 o0 ^not也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not.
