   很多人学英语都会有这样的经历:话到嘴边却怎么也说不出来。那就学一些巧词妙句吧,来解决你在办公室会遇到的难题……?


  ?
  1.You're in the pink!
  ?
  ? ? ? 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,巧妙使用一些表示颜色的词能使得句子非常形象生动。
  ?
  2.He is bouncy。
  ?
  ? ? ? “他精力充沛”美国人通常说:“He is bouncy。”,而不说“He is energetic”,牢记一些日常对话中的句式是你生活中一把必备的钥匙。如:久仰,“I get mind of you”比“I heard a lot about you。”轻松得多。
  ?
  3.Did you get lost?
  ?
  ? ? ? 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?”,则更能让他感到歉疚,可千万别说成“Get lost!”,那可是让人滚蛋的意思。
  ?
  4.Do you have the time?
  ?
  ? ? ? 别人征求你的意见,问能否开窗户等,你要是说“You can do that。”就有点土了,用一句“Do you have the time?”就好多了。实际上,问他人的姓名,地址都可以这么用:“May I have your name?”要比“What’s your name?”礼貌得多,不过警察例外。
  ?
  5.I would rather not say。
  ?
  ? ? ? 别人问你不愿公开的问题,切勿用“It’s my secret,don’t ask such a personal question。”回答,一来显得你没有个性,二来也让对方觉得你气短。你可以说“I would rather not say。”(还是别说了吧)。
  ?
  6.It’s on the tip of my tongue。
  ?
  ? ? ? 有时候,你想说什么,可是想不起来,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。
  ?
  7.While I remember…
  ?
  ? ? ? 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”、“Mind you”都是既地道又受欢迎的表达。
  ?
  8.I got it。
  ?
  ? ? ? 遇到你不懂的问题时可别不懂装懂,“I know”可能是被中国人用得最多,而最不被美国人接受的一句话。当一个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。”,你的教师一定会惊讶不已的。
  ?
  无限扩展:
  ?
  1.I’m supposed to go on a diet/get a raise。我应该节食/涨工资。
  ?
  2.The meeting was scheduled for two hours,but it is not over yet。会议原定两个小时,不过现在还没有结束。
  ?
  3.Would you care to see it/sit down for a while?你要不要看/坐一会呢?
  ?
  4.Do you mind if I take tomorrow off?你介意我明天请假吗?
  ?
  5.I’m afraid that it’s not going to work out。我恐怕这事不会成的。
  ?
  6.Is everything under control?一切都在掌握之中吗?
  ?
  7.It really depends on who is in charge。那纯粹要看谁负责了。
