1. I very like it : P- ~: Y! K# m
I like it very much.
' D  B/ a6 v- j! U% v
2 {8 F4 O6 e# V2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。

The price is very suitable for me. ; o/ |$ t( r6 L' s. u6 s; j
3 n; V/ a3 q" f" _* ~
The price is right. ' s' M7 B# l0 s9 E% Z. I

/ M6 y. L* W% O# t& _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
4 b' t: l( ~. S4 u8 j; n" r
9 C& i& V/ O8 g( N9 hprogramme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。
1 |' F+ B0 v6 \" e+ o! A% e# q6 |4 n& Z, ~/ Z: m, n( l. y
3. 你是做什么工作的呢?What’s your job?
. ?; ]% V9 U: b  a1 T3 r% P  u; ~0 r9 a( c9 z
Are you working at the moment? 7 [' e! C& O$ I' |& p7 o

* s. P. S. {: U6 K6 KNote:what’s your / o3 n! H: G' s0 M% f

) L1 i; P) x7 z7 Ejob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 1 a, j1 E- S" r$ n' P0 X

# C+ L  u  W3 w4 Gat 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
2 x6 e1 I) Z) P2 I& ~% M" m/ N3 c# h. T! a9 E
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
6 D- Z* i8 Z8 s+ L0 A2 o
. l; |. a3 q! |4. 用英语怎么说?How to say? 7 @$ a& P7 j1 C5 c9 X& R

3 S, ]) u# X  I2 [How do you say this in English?
& W3 C. Z: Y8 B1 {5 J+ C& X3 T) V/ D3 K9 e) b1 o
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 : @% c1 ?) G1 }; p- g  M  D

0 `# Z3 L2 b1 `3 p8 v  p& qspell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word?
. j" D, A: i+ L+ M: O2 p# |0 N1 u. @* F0 X* x3 T. ~
5. 明天我有事情要做。I have something to do tomorrow?
8 ?: e( v, j8 a/ ?  O/ T# V, y6 H7 x/ d5 ~2 Y: e: u
Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
/ H9 b) U/ m) h5 M
6 o& x/ _) U6 {2 r7 W用I have something to , O! Y! {: P+ X* H7 ]

) q9 L" h- V' tdo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 / I( _& I- x" U' }# W- M, Q- c

+ E: E% m4 U& @- Oup.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 % L: h' ~' h) t

0 o/ ~, R: I6 Rhave to stay at home.
# M; c5 G5 n* r
8 w- b& B/ c# X" B( j6. 我没有英文名。I haven’t English name.
" ?3 B5 A" ~! m: a6 J& F
1 A" O! q+ H7 x6 ]) q  [0 H) AI don’t have an English name. 3 r/ A2 I" [9 s6 Q% p
1 g% d: t) s4 e# h' u  ~
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。 5 P+ o% B( H# ]* `4 R/ c* J& N" Q! L! {

5 i# J! z, H( Z) E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
. b+ c5 K( G" U0 t: ~
* I7 Z0 b2 b( H" J/ V  ebrothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car.

7. 我想我不行。I think I can’t. 5 X4 F1 N0 Q2 a% [; m' e

2 q  H6 b, B4 r% j' cI don’t think I can. ' Y( j6 A/ t( e
: {2 }  _+ P% G/ d4 ?# f7 G' q/ l
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, , O% l4 |4 Z/ v& o
+ s& d1 ^' z+ x! Z7 P7 U( |
8. 我的舞也跳得不好。I don’t dance well too.
- u9 _: Z) B( t; V2 _7 Y: A6 Q
4 V3 p% V" c  X+ e$ Z, N3 z" C1 GI am not a very good dancer either.
4 M  J4 {% l9 ?; K7 Q
# f' j& W* Q, `$ w% ^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。 ! h" T2 A# Z, r& I0 I8 w0 J7 T3 d
3 J8 [4 v2 l- @$ C  B
9. 现在几点钟了?What time is it now? & k- p8 a6 [6 Q1 f8 A& @( a+ ~2 G

0 a# w, _8 j, N) Y0 G2 p* CWhat time is it, please? 4 O( e0 e: [9 t* Z7 l& o. H/ x; {

. i6 D' o8 y, N& FNote: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
( g' `# d3 W8 A$ P" u) `
) S( h+ C1 l+ z$ u, ayesterday, 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
0 D/ c& {% w: H% F" Y$ ?4 p; n# o
1 z+ ]" }9 a4 p% Z* ^  w. Cdoing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适 ) u% ]0 d$ s5 l9 h2 E2 N, X

10. 我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor. + G( \3 K2 Y% z  C+ [

4 l) }" G5 H" r& j6 w- t! RI am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving. % n0 ^3 F  F7 a# @3 O7 g
8 s# n9 ?5 f/ ]% j% h! \; j
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 ; i% Y& p) @$ C# s( N
( Q2 d4 N+ O. ?' u
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.   k% }# v2 i5 o+ E: c& J. ~5 J

9 A) C6 w' D6 F- b/ m6 H/ V/ X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。
, y, e6 e8 h2 V& Q- G. u
! A! f+ Z" q3 y( _2 L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。 # e% y+ X% `5 K7 `

/ g8 g; d. i8 i4 o* ?$ u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.
7 X' o  `, T, X. W4 A
; n8 f7 {% D7 r5 P0 W0 ]3 J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。

当然。Sure. / Certainly.(这种说法是正确的)
8 ~% Q$ T; @) c1 G4 a
% D, ?6 T5 `4 P0 X) n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
# V1 R4 T& Q( `7 ~- G8 t- ]) Z- w# O, X8 O1 j
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 5 H7 T% A/ U0 l' X9 }, U
% i- r7 o; S! x( v$ |! I
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 8 ^* o1 L0 U2 o  S# V( ~

4 T; k  r3 ?' Z+ n3 b8 bnot也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not.
