1.用英語怎麼說?
How to say in English?✖
How do you say this in English?✔
How to say是在中國最為泛濫成災的中國式英語之一,這決不是地道的英語說法。
同樣的句子有:
How do you spell that please?
How do you pronounce this word?
What's your job?✖
Are you working at the moment?✔
What's your job這種說法難道也有毛病嗎?
是的!
因為如果您的談話對象剛剛失業,如此直接的問法會讓對方有失面子。
所以你要問:
Are you working at the moment?
接下來才問:
Where are you working these days?
或者
What line of work are you in?
如果有歪果仁問你
Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival?
你的回答是什麼呢?
Of course!✖
Sure. / Certainly.✔
以英語為母語的人使用of course的頻率要比中國的學生低得多,只有在回答一些眾所周知的問題時才說of course。
因為of course後面隱含的一句話是「當然我知道啦!難道我是一個傻瓜嗎?」帶有挑釁的意味。
在交談時,用sure或certainly效果會好得多。同時,of course not也具挑釁的意味。正常情況下語氣溫和的說法是certainly not。
The price is very suitable for me.✖
The price is right.✔
Suitable(合適的、相配的)最常見的用法是以否定的形式出現在告示或通知上。
如:
下列節目兒童不宜。
The following programme is not suitable for children.
I have something to do tomorrow.✖
Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.✔
用I have something to do來表示很忙,這也完全是中國式的說法。因為每時每刻我們都有事情要做,躺在那裡睡大覺也是事情。
所以說「我很忙,脫不開身」可以說:I'm tied up.
或者:I'm afraid I can't make it at that time.
I'd love to, but I can't, I have to stay at home.
I haven’t English name.✖
I don’t have an English name.✔
have在這裡是實義動詞,而並不是在現在完成時裡面那個沒有意義的助動詞。所以,這句話由肯定句變成否定句要加助動詞。
同樣的句式:
I don't have any money.
I don't have any brothers or sisters.
I don't have a car.
I think I can't.✖
I don't think I can.✔
這一組在語法上稱為否定前置,這就是漢語裡面說「我想我不會」的時候,英語裡面總是說「我不認為我會」。
I don't dance well too.✖
I am not a very good dancer either.✔
當我們說不擅長做什麼事情的時候,英語裡面通常用not good at something。
甚至英語的思維直接踴躍到:我不是一個好的舞者。
What time is it now?✖
What time is it, please?✔
What time is it now這是一個直接從漢語翻譯過的句子,講英語的時候沒有必要說now,因為不可能問what time was it yesterday或者what time is it tomorrow。
所以符合英語習慣的說法是:請問現在幾點了?
還有一種說法是:how are we doing for time,在有時間限制的時候特別合適
My English is poor.✖
I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.✔
有人開玩笑說,全中國人最擅長的一句英文是:My English is poor
如果是美國人,無論他們的漢語是好是壞,他們會說: I am still having a few problem, but I'm getting better。
以後和外國同行交流,可以實事求是地說:我的英語還不算十分流利,但至少我在進步。
I have no experience. ✖
I am afraid I don't know much about that. ✔
I have no experience這句話聽起來古裡古怪,因為只需要說:I am not really an expert in this area.就行了。
Would you like to join our party on Friday?✖
Would you like to come to our party on Friday night? ✔
join往往是指參加俱樂部或者協會,
如:join the Communist Party.
事實上,常常與party搭配的動詞的come 或者go。
如go a wild party,或者come to a Christmas Party。
His body is healthy.✖
He is in good health.✔
You can also say: He’s healthy.✔
The price is too expensive/cheap.✖
The price is too high/ rather low.✔
We got off the car.✖
We got out of the car.✔
The speed of the car is fast.✖
The car is speeding.✔
Or: The car is going too fast.✔
I very like it.✖
I like it very much.✔
I feel very painful in my right hand.✖
My right hand is very painful.✔
Or: My right hand hurts(aches).✔
Don't pay attention to her.✖
Leave her alone.✔
I get a lot of knowledge in the university.✖
I learned a lot in university.✔
