說一口漂亮的英語
尤其是一口漂亮的雅思口語
Chinglish首先要戒掉
那些在我們在考場上說出的中式表達
也許不完全影響考官的理解
但阻礙了
我們有效地提高口語水平
和雅思口語分數
最重要的是這些表達習慣往往養成已久,很難改變。有時候我們絞盡腦汁說出來的英文,母語者可能用很簡單的詞彙就可以準確地道的表達,所以詞不在難,不在大,要用的準確,才事半功倍。
快來認真糾錯雅思口語中20個高頻中式表達,是時候跟它們分手啦。

1. It let me… 常被用來表達 「…使/讓我能夠…」
中式:Travelling let me have new experiences.
註:let 在這裡並不準確,雖然let有許可/讓的含義,但僅用於號召某人做他已經有計劃去做的事情。比如:他終於讓我們走了(我早就想走了)He finally let me go.
在我們解釋一件事情對另一個事情的推動作用,用It allows/enables/helps me to…更加準確。如:
Traveling abroad allows meto have new experiences.
Reading magazines allows people to have new insights.
2. It makes me relax 使我放松
中式:It makes me improve my English. 使我提高英語
註:It makes me+形容詞,使我…但使役動詞make後加動詞時要小心,有時有強迫某人做某事的含義。所以正確的幾種說法是:
It makes me feel relaxed. (makes me feel relaxed 比起makes me relaxed 更地道)
It allows me to relax / unwind.
It helps / enables me to improve my English.
3. I usually watch movies to relax myself.
註:Relax myself 會產生歧義,表達放鬆我們可以說:
I usually watch movies to relax.
I usually watch movies to unwind / let off steam/ destress.
Watching movies is a good way to put myself at ease.
4. On the one hand… on the other hand…
一方面…另一方面…
這個表達,看似沒有問題,遞進關係,但實際上前後的觀點應該是相反的,而不是遞進的。所以表達遞進觀點,我們可以用Also,In addition,Furthermore 這樣的表達。
錯誤例句:
On the one hand, I worked very hard at this internship. On the other hand, I have also gone to an excellent school.
正確例句:
On the one hand, ice cream is delicious. On the other hand, it is very fattening.
On the one hand, this is my dream school. On the other hand, it is very expensive and far from home.
5. It gives me a good mood 給我一個好心情!
我們說完心情好了,但是考官心情可能不會好。
地道的說法是:
It puts me in a good mood /in a good state of mind.
It soothes my mind.
It makes my day.
6. Doing sports can improve my physical ability.
做運動可以提高我的身體素質/體能
我們經常查完字典,自信滿滿的說出了physical ability,知道真相後淚流滿面。
正確的打開方式是:
It can improve my health and willpower. (health已經準確地道了表達了身體素質這個含義)
It generally improves my overall quality of life and fitness level
7. It adds joys to my life 它給我的生活增添樂趣
正確的打開方式是:
It adds spice to my life (表示豐富生活)
It always brightens/makes my day/week. 劃重點:make one『s day 讓某人的一天開心
Listening to a variety of music spices up my life. 劃重點:spice up 給…增添趣味
It breaks up the monotony/daily grind. 劃重點:daily grind 日常瑣事
8. Visual pleasure / auditory pleasure / taste enjoyment
視覺享受/聽覺享受/味覺享受,是不可以直譯的。
正確的打開方式是:
…is pleasing to my ears/eyes.
…is visually pleasing / aesthetically pleasing.
It tastes amazing!
9. Arouse my echo 引起我的共鳴,但是無法引起考官的共鳴!
中式表達:
This TV program aroused people’s echoes.
His speech gave me some echoes.
註:引起共鳴是不可以直譯的,需要具體的上下文。
正確的打開方式
Movie:
It is a movie that allows people to reminisce.
It is a reminiscent movie.
I feel I have a strong connection with the plot / story in this movie.
I can relate with this movie’s themes/ plots / characters.
People feel highly connected to / can relate with this movie’s themes/ plots /characters.
Speech:
I strongly agree with most of the ideas presented in his speech.
I couldn’t agree more with his ideas.
I find there are plenty of things that I can relate to in his speech.
His words deeply impressed the audience.
10.Improve my work/study efficiency
提高學習效率 是不可以這麼說的!
正確的說法:
Making detailed plans allows me to work efficiently.
He is very efficient/ studious on the job.
They spend their time wisely.
They are very organized and proactive.
11. I’m so boring. This class is so bored.
-ed結尾的形容詞用於主觀描述自己感到…,-ing表示客觀令人…的。類似的形容詞還有很多。如:excited/exciting,annoyed/annoying,depressed/depressing.
正確用法:
I’m so bored. I feel so bored.
This class is so boring.
12. Besides 另外
常用於兩個遞進的觀點之間,廣泛用於口語和寫作之中。但是你一定不知道在母語者看來,besides 後面的觀點往往是不重要的,不充分的理由。所以表達遞進觀點時,用 As well / In addition / Also 這樣的連詞更準確。
正確例句:
I know I shouldn’t have bought a new phone, but I really liked this one. Besides,it was 5% off. (5%的打折並不是買這個手機得決定性因素)
I worked at a great company that trained me well. As well / In addition / Also, I was the leader of a successful team. (後者:我是很強的領導者是重要的觀點)
13. Have a try 試試?
這個是chinglish 的代表了,可以理解含義,但是感覺怪怪的。表達嘗試我們可以用:give it a try / try my hand at it / try it/ give it a shot
Although painting is not right up my alley, I would like to give it a try / try my hand at it / try it/ give it a shot.
14. Have a rest
這是一個大家都說,但是不正確的表達。Rest 常用於時間較久/臥床的休息。
表達短暫的休息,我們可以說take a break / relax / unwind / have a breather / recharge my batteries.
On the weekend, I often stay at home to take a break / relax / unwind/have a breather/recharge my batteries
劃重點:on the weekend (美式英語)/ at the weekend (英式英語)
15. I must walk more. 我必須要多走路啦!
不要再用must啦!在這裡我們用 have to/should 表達主觀意願更合適。其實must在英語表達,尤其是口語中,語氣太強,用的頻率很少。
正確例句:
I should walk more to stay in good shape.
I have to finish my project tonight to meet the deadline.
People should/ ought to help the community to keep it in good condition/clean.
16. on the opposite (side)of my home 在我家對面?
正確的表達方式是:
…is across the street from…
There is a convenience store just across the street from my home.
The convenience store is across the street.
17. Delicious
其實delicious 的使用頻率在母語者中很低。
正確的表達方式是:
It tastes so good/ awesome / amazingly good!
This is tasty /yummy/ delectable / scrumptious / addictive.
18. I’m so hot.
這樣表達我很熱,會引起歧義,感覺在說:我很辣!/有魅力!在夏天,我們可以這樣說:
It’s very hot.
I feel so hot.
I’m melting / overheating / roasting / baking out here.
19. I think we can’t make this trip.
我覺得我們去不了這次旅行了
根據語法慣例, think, suppose, believe, imagine, guess 等後的賓語從句如果是否定句,要把否定轉移到主句的think等動詞上,這叫做「否定前移」或「否定前置。
所以我們應該這樣說:
I don’t think we can make this trip
20. Chinese is my mother language. 中文是我的母語。
母語不可以直譯
我們可以說:
First language / mother tongue / native language.
