1. I very like it
- H6 s2 \. n# W; b, j# K; gI like it very much.
6 |' X  M2 _& f4 f7 x0 _9 T, m3 l6 `4 _! x+ r9 ^
2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。 - @  p" J/ ^( m, J$ @& y
) s$ ?$ H0 B2 u. G
The price is very suitable for me.
+ n0 `- }0 [2 O( C. W9 i% m5 s5 j, W( _2 v& _+ n
The price is right. : y5 d- k$ |8 y3 O' P( k

; {1 U- _3 y; E  [: q' u* Z- bNote: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
: w% G" J/ R4 L0 t) `! }$ u2 A0 b! d7 X
programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。

3. 你是做什么工作的呢?What’s your job? . h! A4 p5 }, E& [( j
3 i8 u" C( k$ s; T

Note:what’s your
7 v$ x- w$ V4 g7 d9 l8 P* [. g0 V/ H3 G) Y6 c) E2 ]
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
$ [. i; n4 `4 E2 d% Q5 @3 j/ v7 C1 X& v
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
6 j  g2 O  d3 Q# h

3 \- j9 n4 h3 j+ n$ |: Z+ _  \& X; U/ m, T, w2 ?& u) f
4. 用英语怎么说?How to say?
3 o8 T, S! y4 R
) ~; D! n" v3 y) Z  |How do you say this in English?
- I& }2 y* k4 b# A9 ^5 D
. x8 K: H4 X' S& UNote: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 ! p7 s3 d* d- K9 Q1 E& m2 \
/ t/ P) K* ^/ \* E  ]" ?9 f
spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word? 3 |1 h6 ~# J' K  X' C: w
  u- G+ ?4 A2 r1 c- h& n
5. 明天我有事情要做。I have something to do tomorrow? 9 e& y3 B( S# K; J: a' @  n8 X7 h

0 q) r6 |( U: Q. z7 H6 |5 BSorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow. 0 l( t8 d+ e8 J; Z

用I have something to
  V/ H4 ^, X. h! a( g$ i: R  H' u9 ]* C) z* J6 l1 y# W6 W
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 + C1 ^% z7 {+ X; n$ ]

3 `7 b3 E  |3 c" `9 Q  aup.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

' F4 e3 W- t1 B/ O3 J' uhave to stay at home. ! S' `9 v+ Z% G( j9 d
  v* v$ ~6 S) R; d. R8 x
6. 我没有英文名。I haven’t English name. 1 V( b/ s! s, f* n9 i! X

# @, U3 T+ h  X/ Y, f2 `) tI don’t have an English name.
6 z" V, _$ ^; X2 }. r  x0 m' E2 a/ o1 r
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。
$ j" s, [5 d2 L  \  _
  b' U, Q% y: o- ]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 4 \8 P$ n- g  `& F

8 e7 F$ b# @$ Y" o! abrothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car. & x# f; i$ D, o. H! ]

; w% s3 n) U& p8 w; q! O7. 我想我不行。I think I can’t. 0 l" Z6 W# p) O" I  ?8 b/ Q/ K  e! X

( X' |0 l$ r7 DI don’t think I can.
5 M' V5 X( ?3 l0 |! q
! g; a. e- w) \; m! o- S- v7 rNote: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,
, x' h$ f$ i. n
9 M7 G8 A' _% f% n5 G% O9 A4 u8. 我的舞也跳得不好。I don’t dance well too. " L  }$ N; j$ S' u! I5 U6 Q% C9 t$ u

& J7 e5 U) N  K" X& \8 \& W$ hI am not a very good dancer either.
' e& W# G, _* n. a& ~: G5 t1 v0 n  n9 k( q/ V* S! {6 [
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 m. [3 R: o# t6 s9 U. k0 _- b) r: K& p: J! |# ^
9. 现在几点钟了?What time is it now?
. p/ [3 H0 A3 A3 U: `+ }- E3 |* n6 z- ]' c% @
What time is it, please? 3 l  C$ M# N& ~. l' Y  I* @

' ]! x& m# t0 I2 {& SNote: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 # K6 Z, t' S7 d2 w9 J/ a

' q( S3 Y: S, z& S! Y- Ryesterday, 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( [5 N# L3 V' W8 C1 k

9 w5 Z6 X* l3 y  r& c4 jdoing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适 , J: e4 a4 R# F

2 p9 r5 c4 U( d* ?10. 我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor. 0 r/ v8 B/ F+ P+ s- K
3 |$ B2 \1 ]: J
I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving. 9 B7 x4 E: e% _& _' ]+ y# z0 x. I

5 d  i+ Q9 }9 H8 \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 * {" D  c: `7 K+ k1 Q# c6 q

& G5 @" e( Q! t; G+ `. W$ `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.
; A5 X# T3 `7 q2 X% X
# u* o8 m( E  o. e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。 * w! r$ t4 Y+ n2 u4 r7 h7 J
1 S5 z' T1 R$ w% x
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。 + @0 J, Y' L, \  }8 q& D1 i3 V# f
1 N! N# }, v# X9 A3 @) Z
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.   T7 n" P" ]3 m- t
: q, O% g  }+ |$ C4 ~; t; k, B5 }9 T+ o
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。

3 R* `! T( j; X* u4 |" ?  S/ Q# Z$ J& O8 [: y
Note:join往往是指参加俱乐部或者协会,如:join a health club; join the Communist
9 d- F5 X; `0 U3 x: m) b8 J8 L' K6 R/ P4 y+ Y. p3 l
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。 5 T: [' j% \% b. t! }2 B3 P

5 ~8 N" X, C# d  G
是的,我回去。Of course! (这一句是错的) - |7 w0 I* D4 \: G9 ^
9 t* Q4 ^: P8 B
当然。Sure. / Certainly.(这种说法是正确的) , t8 G) L8 N$ W' \
  j- e3 o. e) N! B
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 & L& s) k9 `0 M  ^: G( T8 `
% S/ a  d( G& a) q- O0 p
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 % M  a3 Q- u+ V& |0 v0 D+ B: k( N. L8 n
1 l+ \+ x: M7 _: Z4 e; [
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 / k0 b) p- @1 k! e/ E# j3 c& ?

2 `- T3 f+ l) w( K  t- Hnot也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not.
