職場中常用英語口語
1.You're in the pink!
要想說人氣色好,"You look fine!"當(dāng)然不錯(cuò),可如果你說"You're in the pink!"就妙得多了,實(shí)際上,在英語口語中,巧妙使用一些表示顏色的詞能使得句子非常形象生動(dòng)。
2. He is bouncy.
"他精力充沛"美國人通常說:"He is bouncy.",而不說"He is energetic",牢記一些日常對(duì)話中的句式是你生活中一把必備的鑰匙。如:久仰,"I get mind of you"比"I heard a lot about you."輕松得多。
3. Did you get lost?
有人開會(huì)遲到了,你若對(duì)他說"You are late.",聽起來像是廢話。若說"Did you get lost?",則更能讓他感到歉疚,可千萬別說成"Get lost!",那可是讓人滾蛋的意思。
4. Do you have the time?
別人征求你的意見,問能否開窗戶等,你要是說"You can do that."就有點(diǎn)土了,用一句"Do you have the time?"就好多了。實(shí)際上,問他人的姓名,地址都可以這么用:"May I have your name?"要比"What's your name?"禮貌得多,不過警察例外。
5. I would rather not say.
別人問你不愿公開的問題,切勿用"It's my secret, don't ask such a personal question."回答,一來顯得你沒有個(gè)性,二來也讓對(duì)方覺得你氣短。你可以說"I would rather not say."(還是別說了吧)。
6. It's on the tip of my tongue.
有時(shí)候,你想說什么,可是想不起來,你可以說"Well…"、"Let me see."、"Just a moment."或"It's on the tip of my tongue."等。相比之下,最后一個(gè)句型是最地道的。
7. While I remember…
交談時(shí),你可能會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)換話題,不要只說"By the way",實(shí)際上,"To change the subject"、"Before I forget"、"While I remember"、"Mind you"都是既地道又受歡迎的表達(dá)。
8. I got it.
遇到你不懂的問題時(shí)可別不懂裝懂,"I know"可能是被中國人用得最多,而最不被美國人接受的一句話。當(dāng)一個(gè)美國教師向你解釋某個(gè)問題時(shí),你如果連說兩遍"I know",我敢保證,他不會(huì)再跟你說什么了。用"I got it."就順耳得多,要是不懂就說"I'm not clear about it."。不過如果你會(huì)說"It's past my understanding."或"It's beyond me.",你的教師一定會(huì)驚訝不已的。
