! F" P# I4 d1 I6 d- D 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。3 ?2 D* U! {! s' {; v" n/ V4 F

. V: C/ d2 g' e7 A2 i7 u4 n 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

R: Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.( k1 X. b+ {1 R$ d, y9 n' B
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.' h) s4 M1 ?: k) B6 ^

6. 我没有英文名。I haven’t English name." G' z, v/ S! q/ s8 `7 d5 n, y
R: I don’t have an English name.
; a0 ^/ |! j4 N 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。* v; v+ Q' k! ~( B) x) x, W6 ~
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.

7. 我想我不行。I think I can’t.
- Z2 x2 o6 z9 L3 p, j R: I don’t think I can.
# {% Q7 z4 f; o 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 U. x' B9 B- ~6 N3 o6 Y/ ]- ]# a

j. @' }# r) J: K 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。

9. 现在几点钟了?What time is it now?% B9 y" \4 r! Y+ p0 C
R: What time is it, please?/ L& O0 a) w: j1 t
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2 }# v, p1 _" @

R: I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.# n c: L& H* _7 S$ g# Q
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。& ]! v!

# I/ P6 ^& z6 t/ R0 W 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. 4 t* ^, Y. o/ J# v" d$ q- i
