   1. Give me a break!


  解析:如果别人在你旁边罗嗦个没完,你感到厌烦了,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!)这地道幽默吧?
  2. You’re in the pink!
  解析: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。
  3. He is bouncy.
  解析:“他精力充沛”,美国人说“He is bouncy.”而不说“He is energetic 1.”,牢记一些日常对话中的活句式是你一把必备的钥匙。比如“久仰”,“I've long been looking forward to meeting you.”比“I heard a lot about you.”轻松得多。
  4. Please give my love to...
  解析:代问他人好当然能用“Please remember me to your sister.”或“Please give my best wishes to your father.”不过,若是很好的朋友,何不说“Please give my love to Jim.”
  5. I will miss you.
  解析: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。
  6. Did you get lost?
  解析:有人开会迟到了,你若对他说“You are late.”听起来像是废话,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。
  7. Do you have the time?
  解析:别人征求你的意见,问能否开窗户等,你若说“You can do that.”就有点土了,可以用“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。
  8. I would rather not say.
  解析:别人问你不愿公开的问题,切勿用“It’s my secret, and 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)。
  9. It’s on the tip of my tongue.
  解析:有时候,你想说什么,可说时想不起来,你可以说“Well…”、“Let me see…”、“Just a moment…”或“It’s on the tip of my tongue.”等,相比之下,最后一个句型是最地道的。
  10. To change the subject...
  解析:交谈时,你可能会转换话题,不要只说“By the way...”,实际上,“To change the subject...”、“Before I forget...”、“While I remember...”或“Mind you...”都是既地道又受欢迎的表达。
  11. I got it.
  解析: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.”,我敢保证,他不会再跟你说什么了。用“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。

adj.充满活力的,精力充沛的
  • The elderly man is quite energetic.这位上了年纪的老人仍精力充沛。
  • Her mother was a resourceful and energetic woman.她母亲是一个足智多谋、精力充沛的女人。
