当别人在你旁边罗嗦个没完，你烦透了，说“You are so boring “.(你真烦！)。“Shut up !”（闭嘴！）自然没错，可人家受得了吗？不如来一句“Oh, come on .Give me a break !” (帮帮忙，让我歇歇吧！)这多地道、多幽默。: V B4 d, T7 }/ s& @" Y8 z
5 o; P3 |. U t7 D5 p9 S3 O要想说人“气色好”。“You look fine !”当然不错，可如果你说”You’re in the pink !”就妙得多了，实际上，在英语口语中，表示颜色的词用起来非常形象生动。

在中国可不能随便说“我想你”，然而，当和西方人分手时说“I will miss you .”要比说“Good-bye”或“See you soon”有趣得多，不妨一试。( ^5 n+ w& S9 s' @* H5 N

有人开会迟到了，你若对他说 “You are late .”，听起来象是废话，若说“Did you get lost ?”，则更能让他歉然，可别说成“Get lost!”那可是让人滚蛋的意思。

别人征求你的意见，问能否开窗户等，你要说“You can do that .”就有点土了，用一句“Do you have the time? ”实际上，问他人的姓名，地址都可以这么用：“May I have you name?“要比”What’s your name ? ”礼貌得多，不过警察例外。

别人问你不愿公开的问题，切勿用“It’s my secret ,Don’t ask such a personal question .”回答，一来显得你没有个性，二来也让对方尴尬。你可以说“I would rather not say .”（还是别说了吧！）。0 f; |* i+ K% D+ R6 U) Y4 C

遇到你不懂的问题时可别不懂装懂，“I know”可能是中国人用得最多，而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时，你如果连说两遍“I know”可能是中国人用得最多，而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时，你如果连说两遍“I know”,我敢保证，他不会再跟你说什么了。用“I know ”或“I got it ”就顺耳得多，要是不懂就说“I’m not clear about it .”不过如果你会说“It’s past my understanding”或“It’s beyond me .”你的教师定会惊讶不已的。

6、美国老师上课时大多慈悲为怀，只要学生开口，无论怎样信口开河或者牛头不对马嘴，老师都会说“Good job!”；“Very nice!”；“Ok, you have a creative answer”；“What an original opinion!”。这既能鼓励学生，又能激发学生参与的积极性。这可是中国老师不妨学学的地方。
