   美国人听得懂吗?他们会笑我们吗?今天,我们会研究一下美国人听到中式英语时,心里做何感想?Jenny和Spencer也会分享正确的说法,帮你快速纠正常见的Chinglish错误。


  关键词:
  Really? You said it like that? 是吗?你这样说?
  Sounds kind of weird 1: 听着有点儿怪
  Native language/mother tongue: 母语
  如果有人笑你,你可以说:
  You try speak to Chinese, buddy 2: 你试试说中文啊Just ignore them. They are the ignorant ones: 别理他们,他们自己才无知呢不过,能说对,我们就尽量别说错
  Long time no see: 好久不见
  其实现在这个说法在英语里完全成立,美国人听到不会觉得是错的、或者奇怪。
  美国人听中式英语时,作何感想?
  接下来,看几个美国人真觉得怪怪的中式英语说法,以及正确的表达方式1.You have a rest
  美国人很好奇,为什么中国人很爱让他们“休息一下”。
  两边对"have a rest"的理解不一样。美国人听到“have a rest", 想的是你觉得我很累,需要take a nap (睡一下)。
  对应中文“休息一下”的意思,更贴切的英语说法是:
  Just relax
  Take it easy
  Take a load off
  2.You have a try
  热情好客的中国人民经常让老外have a try,不论在饭桌上,还是其它新体验。
  其实try不需要have。更自然的说法是:
  Here, try this
  Try it out
  Take a bite (只适用于吃)
  3.He/she不分
  我们自己也直到错了,但是真的情不自禁啊!
  要纠正的方式是:
  多练、多练、多练
  直到正确使用he/she变成你的reflex, instinct (本能)你的嘴唇也会有muscle memory(肌肉记忆)
  最好的练习方式是:
  This is my wife. She's very beautiful.
  This is my son. He's 5 years old.
  要把人和pronoun用在同一句句子里。
  美国人听到这些小错误时,会笑我们吗?
  I might giggle 3 a bit, but I'm not ridiculing 4 you:会小小笑一点,不是嘲笑It's not a big deal:真的没那么严重
  4.“Already”
  我们把中文语法习惯的”已经“带到英语里了。
  美国人要表达”已经“,经常直接用过去时, 不会都用完成时或句句都加"already"。
  比如:
  Q: Have you eaten?
  A: I ate.
  Q: Have you seen the new Star Wards 5 movie?
  A: I saw it或者I've seen it. 不需要说I've seen it already.
  5."How to say...?"
  这是很多美国人觉得听起来No.1别扭的。正确的说法是:
  "How do you say..."
  6."I have something to do."
  这个听着也很别扭。英语里要么直接说出来这个“something"是什么;要么可以用下面这些句子:
  I'm a little busy.
  I can't make it.
  I've made other plans.
