老杨团队,追求完美;客户至上,服务到位!
1. I very like it
/ Y5 g! ]4 L) Y# v; [' E7 aI like it very much.
4 h( {( ^0 G+ A+ a# I& `' ]
2 }% y: T/ P  _; B6 {2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。   t# n" I* S: y2 [" x6 Z  Y
1 V) v4 }! {9 Z( t( H- ]
The price is very suitable for me. 3 T- B, L4 s" ~" a+ a3 v

: e0 e5 Y9 V3 o9 M6 G& QThe price is right. & c. k% ~0 V5 {0 F2 X

1 W3 ]! u0 ~3 {1 G3 h. lNote: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 _7 G- r: ~" @+ R" [  l* X9 P( O- z8 D
programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。
4 Y) o; X4 l& C' V" @$ t9 O1 n7 r4 G- l2 _3 d7 k, B' C
3. 你是做什么工作的呢?What’s your job?
- B' d/ G0 Q( e* t/ Q8 b
0 W, \+ P( M- P( S) GAre you working at the moment?   z" z' [) H% K9 o6 B* p2 c

! l/ u( X; l& M2 ?6 kNote:what’s your
9 w. g3 r8 X3 {7 }! z" ~4 m) u# U; u, E% s
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
4 l5 @" J) Y9 @6 \2 S& e6 ~
1 L$ f7 v0 S2 v8 }  jat 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 0 x" x1 u  ~8 ~
. V$ ]9 ?5 i4 L( l. f% J
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 3 M; u- K$ \6 P$ @9 ?/ Y
! q# _& E* j  [- Q) b' q
4. 用英语怎么说?How to say? ' r4 ]7 _/ _4 Y9 P5 K

- q" s! ]' Z  zHow do you say this in English?
" Z$ A0 c. @8 l. y9 Z
& u7 l2 @1 K, G4 _, m1 j8 TNote: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 3 M( G" h- k9 t9 d6 Y! F2 Z5 {

% i/ S+ U2 i" l. b- B1 Kspell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word? ; U; Q/ L1 _: A* m) J

: \2 _' |3 G( h7 i5. 明天我有事情要做。I have something to do tomorrow?
' D, b" J4 y  l  W7 E
2 l- K/ B1 G% w( aSorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
1 O) A! y5 W1 d3 V3 W
& u1 ~4 c9 U! e3 M& ]" x- S- z用I have something to
  A' i  @" w  f* W: D/ g
1 f/ e+ @- U* X& K) ]# J9 Mdo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
: H) q7 A/ C8 |- ?1 Y( J$ U6 @6 D1 G7 p% @
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 - d5 c, ^7 F8 m3 @2 L; h3 V- x$ G& Y

2 r( D" U" g) U! ?& phave to stay at home.
! I8 T) o3 W3 N+ ^7 [' S
; \9 R1 c! Q* a6 P9 r" J. r6. 我没有英文名。I haven’t English name.
$ N/ e: k! W) y& c; L1 L4 H6 l3 V
- V, T, |2 }- T9 h9 AI don’t have an English name. ! \$ }6 L7 ^* M4 x; h& k, P

* h' e$ A( \, L! \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。 ' E% x! C) F" f1 b7 g7 L# v
9 f" ~! x  y. J- y* X+ R+ D: J+ K6 }; |
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 Z8 Z' Q6 D! U2 L* Y8 Z

9 G* ?' g8 n$ }! dbrothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car. " [/ w0 m: e, z
$ z1 H# f0 h! ~7 m2 ~, M
7. 我想我不行。I think I can’t. / V& Y: {# j1 L! }0 ]  Q/ c

7 n/ |8 ?& o; B5 s, EI don’t think I can. 5 q7 b0 |0 o& U7 H* r. B" R
' q! v% E) y" _7 ^9 e  C% g
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, 6 T* w/ Y9 s9 {" k. Z  S1 |
' L' G- V3 M8 b8 R% m
8. 我的舞也跳得不好。I don’t dance well too.   |0 q+ F9 L( c! A0 }9 q
1 y- r/ O. @7 z2 f. j
I am not a very good dancer either. & G) [" W1 l& G; C. {
" y6 Y5 r$ ?( a% t3 B
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。
5 F% p7 z$ ]3 t$ ?6 z! N/ Z; }" ^4 |. l1 o
9. 现在几点钟了?What time is it now?
: A. f! [# T% G" g9 U3 f- K  w1 b) f# i8 H
What time is it, please? & V& ?( k+ H0 h7 I$ m7 ]

3 `! Y, D& u8 Z/ D: wNote: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
: k' O4 G- Q# B8 [; M' z' N3 L1 F3 y/ R1 ]1 e
yesterday, 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 2 T  \$ P& ?. s$ X) M( v/ M' O

- M- D+ O8 V7 M7 a$ pdoing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适 % \( W, C( N) V1 J: X7 t' `
* v5 A5 S) S: Q5 E" E+ J- H
10. 我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor.
- \$ _1 h  ~" F5 p+ y1 L; j' O1 G, J: c& W9 [$ k
I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.
& M$ M1 D# b: q' H& ^0 [6 K" p$ |+ k. f8 P1 R2 x+ u8 B% r
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
7 U7 u! J3 z3 {7 W+ Y9 [! C6 @- D0 k* d3 T+ @* z
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.
! u  ^; v  n0 k3 C$ ~
4 A* K7 w2 d  N; s; A1 z( W8 S& J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。 5 x: \6 q" R7 ^7 m5 F

5 o7 O1 L& r' J( ^7 t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。
$ h# V- f2 u9 H5 w9 k/ X- l2 A1 `! n0 p2 C1 K
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.
5 c4 C  [( ?9 h$ {( Y: c  j* [+ l
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。

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。 3 ?, w8 @7 j0 r( P1 R! }0 u, j. b2 ^

' j6 y' G0 f3 p$ c( x4 F" O1 j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 ' P1 l0 ^5 ~7 g! K0 z* J. C9 ~
: n2 a( v; v5 m  T) g9 @
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
" `9 q6 W- h  r; i+ m

5 q1 r: s1 F' X, q5 A  O' ^* @5 w1 s/ E9 L: T0 Y. o; Y
not也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not. % ~7 C( {" C4 {' j  v3 {
