关键词:
Punchy replies/punchy one-liners: 一句话神回复

To express agreement: 表达赞同
#1.That makes sense:有道理!
That makes sense: 有道理

That makes perfect sense: 太有道理了!
"没道理!”:
That doesn't make sense: 没道理
That doesn't make sense at all: 太没道理了!
#2.Fair enough: 好吧、就这么办
如果不是100%认同、理解,但总体能接受:
Fair enough: 好吧、还算公平
Fair: 公平
处理观点、文化差异上,这句话特别有用!
这句话的态度不是生气,而是强调虽然我不是完全理解、或者赞同,但是我能接受。
比如:
A: Sorry, I can't come and work this weekend: 对不起,我这周末不能来加班
B: Ok. Fair enough.:好吧
#3.Point taken: 明白你的意思
想表达你理解对方的重点,可以说:
Point taken.
想更强调:
Point well taken.
这句话常用在争论、或被批评时,你想表达“明白你的意思了,不用多说了”。比如:
A: You've missed a few deadlines. This is not acceptable 1: 你错过好几次最后期限了,这样不行啊
B: Point well taken: 我理解(我会注意的,你不用多说了)
一句抵万句的英语神回复
#4.Well said: 说得好!
对方妙语如珠,你非常赞同,可以说:
Well said!
Well put!
Compliment 2: 赞美
想加倍赞美, 可以说:
Very well said!
Very well put!
#5.I'm with you on that: 赞同你、支持你
想表达你的看法和对方一致、支持对方的看法,可以说:
I'm with you on that.
这句比较多用在工作中,比如:
A: We need to hire more staff to provide better services: 我们要多招人,提供更好的服务。
B: I'm with you on that. 我赞同。
#6.I second that: 我也这么想
别人先表达了一个观点,你的看法一样,可以说:
I second that.
Second是第二,这里的意思就是第一个人说的,我同意。
这句和上一句"I'm with you on that"意思一样,但是更轻松、口语一些。适合用在日常生活场景中,比如:
A: Let's get pizza for dinner: 我们晚上叫pizza吧
B: I second that: 好,我同意
如果你是第三个、第四个,还能开玩笑说:
I third that.
I fourth that.
不过这只是好玩儿的说法,不像“I second that”是一个固定说法。
#7.Agree to disagree: 求同存异
看完了赞同,如果不赞同,也可以冷静、有风度地表达:
Let's agree to disagree
实在无法说服、认同对方,避免争执,说这句非常好!
还有一句相似的:
You can disagree without being disagreeable: 虽然看法不同,但不必撕破脸、伤感情
Disagreeable: 不愉快的、难相处的
adj.可接受的,合意的,受欢迎的
- The terms of the contract are acceptable to us.我们认为这个合同的条件可以接受。
- Air pollution in the city had reached four times the acceptable levels.这座城市的空气污染程度曾高达可接受标准的四倍。
