Note: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 programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。; M) I& I$ g4 {6 Z

Note:what’s yourjob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 youworking at the moment?接下来您才问:目前您在哪儿工作呢?Where are you working thesedays?或者您从事哪个行业呢?What line of work are youin?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/ @! k. S, B9 ? n4 k! l/ C

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

$ S: z$ D6 A. i. ] Note: 用I have something todo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 tiedup.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 have to stay at home.

Note: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。8 y( W3 n6 P+ n7 v: `4 n7 p* Q6 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 brothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car.

) t' K5 S( C$ J% k7 a6 X9 M9 L3 _ 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, 7 H% \5 _) H9 @0 v( L4 @& K

R: What time is it, please?8 r. B! v. U0 v; a2 E1 p
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 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 doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适

, t, ]4 N. q/ `* F! b8 R6 L Note: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 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. 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。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。所以您不用说:我的英语很poor. 您可以实事求事地说,我的英语还不算十分流利,但至少我在进步。

Note: 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ofcourse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,ofcourse带有挑衅的意味。在交谈时,用sure或certainly效果会好得多。同时,of coursenot也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not. 9 c' u2 [; ~8 k
