1. I very like it

2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。 ; L' ^' o  J; u/ T" n- Q3 |, T! f

! Q# c1 `: _- v0 ?7 E# ?The price is right. ' Y- |( ~1 R8 c% j" r

5 v4 i. h: F# v% J4 mNote:suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上,如:下列节目儿童不宜。The following - M% p) ~4 K" C. m$ |

, j8 O" l2 m6 w7 R9 T: [1 t% vprogramme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。 ' F# L. S- ]2 k( I: C/ Z9 P

3. 你是做什么工作的呢?What’s your job? - N% B0 ?9 b" K* z3 f4 k0 v

Are you working at the moment? * R& M1 R* B# I0 a! G! ]

( a5 a% p/ ~, o( d- [Note:what’s your . X% I  b  X' j# o

, L) U0 |& p; q' h  X" Djob这种说法难道也有毛病吗?是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业,如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子,所以您要问:目前您是在上班吗?Are you working ( e. l0 ^0 L$ y7 ^

. C7 M" }3 d5 u  M  ?+ J+ \at the moment?接下来您才问:目前您在哪儿工作呢?Where are you working these days?或者您从事哪个行业呢?What
1 N2 m; y9 t5 r5 l" b$ ^3 A2 h& _8 T$ b
line of work are you in?顺带说一下,回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点,不要只是说经理或者秘书 0 ]* h* J# h2 m: D+ D+ V' q

1 Y) Q& h; L$ ?( D5 j% {* X# C4. 用英语怎么说?How to say? 0 w$ `. ]% h* {- {" V  @. [( ?/ q
3 ]$ Q5 A: n& y% t
How do you say this in English?
4 C9 |1 N2 Q) [$ a9 _# ~4 p2 c5 Y1 r
Note:How to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一,这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有:请问这个词如何拼写?How do you
3 T  M; h# D* v; a9 a4 O" l& l! G! s8 I" k
spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word? , e5 y" @1 `7 g, t6 h
. l  W+ D# r8 |( a: T/ n
5. 明天我有事情要做。I have something to do tomorrow? $ Z3 I6 K1 p, b4 Q$ Z- E# G0 }; o
+ r4 E$ U, A4 F; Y# L- t0 C0 ^
Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
) Q% E/ H5 R0 U1 z$ v& @3 w7 d. f4 O7 I% Q
用I have something to
8 {# J7 Z& m$ B; y) ^: y$ @$ U0 K, M. V
do来表示您很忙,这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做,躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙,脱不开身:I’m tied , o6 O1 E0 Z9 b) J7 d/ _$ Q

4 G3 F9 e6 Y/ z( `2 gup.还有其他的说法:I’m I can’t make it at that time. I’d love to, but I can’t, I 4 J. h- `* ^" S# L& O( [, r
" D# o7 r# z7 ?$ l% v8 e% d6 G- Y
have to stay at home.
4 ^2 q0 J; p# F6 ~% U
& l$ Y/ }( s: ~6. 我没有英文名。I haven’t English name. & D$ x, F& F, r9 f7 n# j0 j9 a
, `9 I, S6 N$ [
I don’t have an English name.
/ Y' _3 z8 b* H6 B
2 F8 q- P5 R2 I% ~9 u: N% RNote:许多人讲英语犯这样的错误,从语法角度来分析,可能是语法功底欠缺,因为have在这里是实义动词,而并不是在现在完成时里面那个没有意义的助动词。所以,这句话由肯定句变成否定句要加助动词。 5 u1 ]  t, F8 a2 f2 w, u

8 E. n, a$ E% Q3 J! E" [; `明白道理是一回事,习惯是另一回事,请您再说几话:我没有钱;I don’t have any money.我没有兄弟姐妹;I don’t have any
2 c9 a+ v# f% K+ p6 }7 b3 V
$ i( |/ }; `) Bbrothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car. & B  u2 V1 z" G9 n  r
; A4 a/ R! b+ t2 H/ O. t& N
7. 我想我不行。I think I can’t. 8 V9 x1 P# S1 V1 }

# y, b' V" I4 W/ ?" q' z& E" Z$ Z" f  MI don’t think I can. " i! m4 j  n7 Q. f" t
/ K- q2 ~1 Q  G! X
Note:这一组然是个习惯问题,在语法上称为否定前置,这就是汉语里面说“我想我不会”的时候,英语里面总是说“我不认为我会”。以后您在说类似的英语句子的时候,只要您留心,也会习惯英语的说法的,
4 M6 e# i. e# l+ K, h
4 {0 i' K  S$ M7 |+ T8. 我的舞也跳得不好。I don’t dance well too. 6 T, s/ x. a$ [" G* H

4 n, K' ?* s5 {) }3 x/ LI am not a very good dancer either.
5 Z. x7 s; H! X' K, W0 {* C) p; C) s  k( G9 w! R& Z
Note:当我们说不擅长做什么事情的时候,英语里面通常用not good at something,英语的思维甚至直接踊跃到:我不是一个好的舞者。
. |, L, v$ D* t1 m, z" G0 ?
, K9 p4 s  v/ s% L9. 现在几点钟了?What time is it now?
1 d5 N( x- g& t4 z
, E  ~3 @; n9 rWhat time is it, please?
8 F* o3 {# B- E4 }$ D' F# q, h# A' R. j
Note:What time is it now这是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子,讲英语的时候没有必要说now,因为您不可能问what time was it + X, z% X8 m" b: n* |

; }& G" T5 D! a0 R% E( N0 ^7 }yesterday, 或者what time is it tommorow?所以符合英语习惯的说法是:请问现在几点了?还有一种说法是:How are we
+ M5 i2 {* b* ?
8 c: Y) {. V* g: ^/ D& Adoing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适
2 A2 f1 \" Q- s$ d; S1 [& I4 x$ b" o" ^# O0 v. U! ~" q7 l: \
10. 我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor.
0 }% c  y; |; e& H# C  J+ ]: @/ m8 W, k. U
I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving. 2 A5 u: K7 s: R& y4 \

; R% U6 B2 a5 b5 Q( pNote:有人开玩笑说,全中国人最擅长的一句英文是:My English is poor.实话说,我从来没有遇到一个美国人对我说:My Chinese is
7 a; Z. D% `6 X( c3 J1 s1 B" Z. E; s! {5 [
poor. 无论他们的汉语是好是坏,他们会说: I am still having a few problem, but I getting better.
( ?& H* a5 D$ Q
0 n! T( [* q& n* F) d( W当您告诉外国人,您的英语很poor,so what(那又怎么样呢),是要让别人当场施舍给我们一些英语呢,还是说我的英语不好,咱们不谈了吧。 ; d# v8 U4 J4 x! f; {0 U2 i

/ N! Q0 `  K" c+ r2 g另外一个更大的弊端是,一边不停的学英语,一边不停地说自己的英语很poor,这正像有个人一边给车胎充气,又一边在车胎上扎孔放气。 7 S, [6 l3 y0 w1 v  X

* g7 e1 t. a; h0 ^" a  _  h我坚信,先不谈别的,如果您现在就苦下功夫,把这本薄薄的《英语54321》吃通吃透,您的英语水平立即就会迅速的提高。所以您再也不用说:我的英语很poor.

$ F( W+ Y. R' P2 x+ _: @9 B/ e6 q0 e  l: E+ n
以英语为母语的人使用of course的频率要比中国的学生低得多,只有在回答一些众所周知的问题时才说of course。因为of ! C. I- E3 Z. B' t: J  u3 Z

& N: `! V" ^! i5 Gcourse后面隐含的一句话是“当然我知道啦!难道我是一个傻瓜吗?”因此,of
' }1 _5 [2 n/ l& o3 {+ ?5 \4 n# U2 ~5 @/ w" g
course带有挑衅的意味。在交谈时,用sure或certainly效果会好得多。同时,of course
* D' J9 u& A. d  \
1 ^* q0 S6 Y( k  r, [8 Tnot也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not.
