每日一句英譯英:「現在開始/歡迎大家提問」英語怎麼說?
The floor is open to/for questions什麼意思?
be open to/for questions和be open to question意思上有稍稍不同。今天只學be open to questions.
1) 看例句,體驗英語:
1. Well,that's all for my presentation(=meaning my speech,my talk),and now the floor is open to/for questions.
2. So now,I'd like to open (up) the floor to/for questions.
3. Ladies and gentlemen,after Mary has finished her speech, we'll open the floor to/for questions(The floor will be open to/for questions).
學習要點:What does it mean when people/you say:So now,the floor is open to/for questions?
2) The floor is now open to questions英譯英口語訓練:
1. Okay.I got you.When people/you say:So now,the floor is open to/for questions, you mean:So now,do you have any questions (to ask me)?
2.Okay.So now,the floor is open to/for questions, means people(the listeners,the students )can ask (me) any questions they may have.
3. Okay.I got you.When people/you say:So now,the floor is open to/for questions means I am ready for (any) questions to be asked/to be raised.
4.Okay.I got you.When people/you say:So now,the floor is open to/for questions means after/at the end of a formal talk/a speech/a presentation ,you are asking if anyone has any questions.
5.Okay.I got you.When people/you say:So now,the floor is open to/for questions, you mean you are allowing people to ask questions (usually from a large meeting, a lecture, a conference). This phrase is pretty formal, so you use it at the end of a formal speech.
3) Okay.Now,do you have any questions的「反向運用」:
1. Okay.I got you.Next time if I want to say:Do you have any questions (for me,to ask,to ask,to raise),I will not say Do you have any questions any more,I'll say,instead,So now,the floor is open to/for questions.
說哪句你的英語更big word,逼格詞?
最後,The floor here means The right to do something,to talk,to say something,to ask questions.
一句英語The floor is now open to questions基本只有一句對應的中文:現在,(歡迎)大家開始(可以)提問。
可是,要想練習英譯英,可以用的英語句子可多了。你會幾句呢?
而且,我們發現,如果真正具備用英語學英語的能力,你「說」英語的「路子」又寬又「野」。我們為什麼學英語?就是為了和我一樣具備這個說英語的「野路子」,而不是「正兒八經」地一句中文一句對應英語。
