地道英語的的用法有哪些,怎么說出一口流利的英語口語?
現(xiàn)在不出國門照例可以把英語學(xué)習(xí)到很好,關(guān)鍵是你要有學(xué)英語的好方法才行,并且還要讓自己有愛好。那么下面就讓我們跟聽力課堂小編一起來了解一下地道英語的的用法有哪些,怎么說出一口流利的英語口語?
地道英語口語的用法
1. 對話常見表達(dá),適用于特定場合。
在賓館/圖書館/售票處/電話客服等辦事結(jié)束后,經(jīng)常會聽到一句"You're all set." 聽到這句話就知道事兒已辦妥可以拎著東西走了。假設(shè)不知道自己的事兒是不是弄好了,而對方又專注致志作敲鍵盤狀時,可以問一句"Am I all set?"
2. At some point
這個表達(dá)非常好用,可以表示過去某時刻,也可以表示將來某時刻。
-At some point I decided she was no longer my friend. (表示之前某時刻)
-Do you want me to add that information in the document?
-No. But at some point we will need that. (表示將來某時刻,比in the future顯然更適用)
3. Comfort
Comfort的意思大家都懂,就是舒暢、愜意、爽。在老美的口語表達(dá)中,這個詞可以使用的語境實在是多。
-If no support was provided, we should perform audit steps to obtain comfort that the item was appropriately included. (這里意譯過來應(yīng)該是“確?!?,意思等同于make sure)可見comfortable這種狀態(tài),不一定是躺在沙發(fā)上全身松弛,還可以是生活工作中每一個粗壯的,讓你呼吸平衡,心跳規(guī)律的狀態(tài)。
4. Thing
除了“事物”之意外,在口語中還有以下常見用法:
-I think he has a thing for you. (就是中文里“他對你故意思”的意思)
-Being funny is Chandler's thing and Ross's thing is getting divorced. (來自《老友記》,這里thing不好翻譯,可以理解為“某人最顯著的特質(zhì)”,即讓別人想到你就聯(lián)想起來的東西。)
5. Have/get your back
意為“罩著你”、“挺你”或者“有我在”。
-If you ever need help, just ask. You know I have your back.
-Just go ahead. Don't worry. I got your back.
6. In the middle of nowhere
意為“荒郊野外”。
-Bree once dropped her teenage son in the middle of nowhere.
7. Walk through
雖然這個詞組里有walk這個動詞,但是通常和行走沒有太大關(guān)系。可以理解為“過一遍”。
-Could you walk me through the process so I can get a better understanding of your business?
8. Doesn't hurt to do something
意為“做什么事有好處/不會有壞處”。
-It does't hurt to take a look of what you've done and see if it could be improved.
9. You might wanna/you don't wanna
這可以是給別人建議做某事/別做某事時使用的短語。
-You might wanna have a cup of water at hand in case that food is too spicy.
-You don't wanna call her in the middle of the night. You don't know how grumpy she could be.
10. Can use some
意為“正需要”。
-After a long week, I can really use some rest.
-That shirt is too flashy.
-You can use some flash.
11. At the end of the day
意為“到頭來”,“到最后”,“最終”,并不是“一天的最后”。
-They all said they would help me, but at the end of the day nobody did.
12. The last thing I wanna do
可不是“最后一件想做的事”,而是“最不想做的事”。
-The last thing I wanna do is hurting your brother.
13. Be my guest
這個表達(dá)可不是邀請對方做客,而是在對方提出要做某件事的時候給出答應(yīng)。
-Can I have the last piece of cake?
-Sure! Be my guest.
14. Gut
直譯過來是“肚子”,但在英語里面有“直覺”之意。
-I don't know how to decide.
-Well, what does your gut tell you?
有時又指“膽量”。
-I hate that guy! I want to punch him in the face!
-You don't have the guts.
15. It works
這個表達(dá)在日??谡Z中實在太常見了。在國內(nèi)時work往往指工作,但在英語中更像是說某件事“有效運行”。
-I don't understand how polygamy works.
-We tried a new model and it worked!
16. Buy that
除了“買它”的直譯外,還有“相信一個說法”的意思。來看例句理解吧:
-He said he didn't do it but I don't buy it.
-She told me she missed our date because she had to work.
-That's so made up! I can't believe you bought it.
17. Table
幾個和table有關(guān)的表達(dá):Bring to the table和On/Off the table。
Bring to the table指“帶來的好處”:
-Do you have any advice for me on the interview?
-Just be yourself and talk what you can bring to the table with all the experience you have.
On the table指“考慮的”,相應(yīng)的,Off the table指“不作考慮的”:
