如何巧學(xué)善用英語(yǔ)成語(yǔ)(2)
9. 現(xiàn)在幾點(diǎn)鐘了?
What time is it now?
What time is it, please?
Note:What time is it now這是一個(gè)直接從漢語(yǔ)翻譯過(guò)的句子,講英語(yǔ)的時(shí)候沒(méi)有必要說(shuō)now,因?yàn)槟豢赡軉?wèn)what time was it yesterday, 或者what time is it tommorow?所以符合英語(yǔ)習(xí)慣的說(shuō)法是:請(qǐng)問(wèn)現(xiàn)在幾點(diǎn)了?還有一種說(shuō)法是:How are we doing for time?這句話在有時(shí)間限制的時(shí)候特別合適
10. 我的英語(yǔ)很糟糕。
My English is poor.
I am not 100% fluent3, but at least I am improving.
Note:有人開(kāi)玩笑說(shuō),全中國(guó)人最擅長(zhǎng)的一句英文是:My English is poor.實(shí)話說(shuō),我從來(lái)沒(méi)有遇到一個(gè)美國(guó)人對(duì)我說(shuō):My Chinese is poor. 無(wú)論他們的漢語(yǔ)是好是壞,他們會(huì)說(shuō): I am still having a few problem, but I getting better. 當(dāng)您告訴外國(guó)人,您的英語(yǔ)很poor,so what(那又怎么樣呢),是要讓別人當(dāng)場(chǎng)施舍給我們一些英語(yǔ)呢,還是說(shuō)我的英語(yǔ)不好,咱們不談了吧。另外一個(gè)更大的弊端是,一邊不停的學(xué)英語(yǔ),一邊不停地說(shuō)自己的英語(yǔ)很poor,這正像有個(gè)人一邊給車(chē)胎充氣,又一邊在車(chē)胎上扎孔放氣。我堅(jiān)信,先不談別的,如果您現(xiàn)在就苦下功夫,把這本薄薄的《英語(yǔ)54321》吃通吃透,您的英語(yǔ)水平立即就會(huì)迅速的提高。所以您再也不用說(shuō):我的英語(yǔ)很poor. 您可以實(shí)事求事地說(shuō),我的英語(yǔ)還不算十分流利,但至少我在進(jìn)步。
11. 你愿意參加我們的晚會(huì)嗎?
Would you like to join our party on Friday?
Would you like to come to our party on Friday night?
Note:join往往是指參加俱樂(lè)部或者協(xié)會(huì),如:join a health club; join the Communist4 Party.事實(shí)上,常常與party搭配的動(dòng)詞的come 或者go。如go a wild party,或者come to a Christmas Party。
12. 我沒(méi)有經(jīng)驗(yàn)。I have no experience.
I don’t know much about that.
Note:I have no experience這句話聽(tīng)起來(lái)古里古怪,因?yàn)槟恍枰f(shuō):那方面我懂得不多,或者這方面我不在行,就行了。I am not really an expert5 in this area.
13. 我沒(méi)有男朋友。
I have no boyfriend6.
I don’t have a boyfriend.
14. 他的身體很健康。
His body is healthy.
He is in good health. You can also say: He’s healthy.
15. 價(jià)錢(qián)很昂貴/便宜。
The price is too expensive/cheap.
The price is too high/ rather low. .
16. 我們下了車(chē)。
We got off the car.
We got out of the car.
