1.用英語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)？How to say in
English??How do you say this in English??
How to say是在中國(guó)最為泛濫成災(zāi)的中國(guó)式英語(yǔ)之一，這決不是地道的英語(yǔ)說(shuō)法。
同樣的句子有：請(qǐng)問(wèn)這個(gè)詞如何拼寫(xiě)How do you
spell that
please？請(qǐng)問(wèn)這個(gè)單詞怎么讀How do you
pronounce this word？
2、你是做什么工作的呢？What's your job??Are you
working at the
moment??
What's your job這種說(shuō)法難道也有毛病嗎？是的！因?yàn)槿绻恼勗拰?duì)象剛剛失業(yè)，如此直接的問(wèn)法會(huì)讓對(duì)方有失面子。
所以你要問(wèn)：目前您是在上班嗎Are you working at the moment？
接下來(lái)才問(wèn)：目前您在哪兒工作呢
Where are you working
these days？
或者您從事哪個(gè)行業(yè)呢What line of work are you in？
3. 這個(gè)春節(jié)你回家嗎? 如果有歪果仁問(wèn)你Will you be
going back home for the
Spring Festival?你的回答是什么呢？Of
course!?Sure. /
Certainly.?
以英語(yǔ)為母語(yǔ)的人使用of course的頻率要比中國(guó)的學(xué)生低得多，只有在回答一些眾所周知的問(wèn)題時(shí)才說(shuō)of course。
因?yàn)閛f course后面隱含的一句話是“當(dāng)然我知道啦!難道我是一個(gè)傻瓜嗎?”帶有挑釁的意味。
在交談時(shí)，用sure或certainly效果會(huì)好得多。同時(shí)，of course not也具挑釁的意味。正常情況下語(yǔ)氣溫和的說(shuō)法是
certainly not。
4. 這個(gè)價(jià)格對(duì)我挺合適的。The
price is very
suitable for me.?The price is
right.?
Suitable(合適的、相配的)最常見(jiàn)的用法是以否定的形式出現(xiàn)在告示或通知上。
如：下列節(jié)目?jī)和灰恕he
following programme is not suitable for
children.
5. 明天我有事情要做。I have
something to do
tomorrow.?
Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.?
用I have something to do來(lái)表示很忙，這也完全是中國(guó)式的說(shuō)法。因?yàn)槊繒r(shí)每刻我們都有事情要做，躺在那里睡大覺(jué)也是事情。
所以說(shuō)“我很忙，脫不開(kāi)身”可以說(shuō)：I'm tied up.或者：I'm
afraid I can't make it at that time. I'd love to, but I can't, I have to stay at home.
6. 我沒(méi)有英文名。I
haven’t English name.?I don’t have an English name.?
have在這里是實(shí)義動(dòng)詞，而并不是在現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)里面那個(gè)沒(méi)有意義的助動(dòng)詞。所以，這句話由肯定句變成否定句要加助動(dòng)詞。
同樣的句式：我沒(méi)有錢(qián)I don't have any
money. 我沒(méi)有兄弟姐妹I don't have any
brothers or
sisters. 我沒(méi)有車(chē)I don't have a car.
7. 我想我不行。I
think I can't.?I don't think I can.?
這一組在語(yǔ)法上稱(chēng)為否定前置，這就是漢語(yǔ)里面說(shuō)“我想我不會(huì)”的時(shí)候，英語(yǔ)里面總是說(shuō)“我不認(rèn)為我會(huì)”。
8. 我的舞也跳得不好。I don't
dance well too.?I am not a very good
dancer either.?
當(dāng)我們說(shuō)不擅長(zhǎng)做什么事情的時(shí)候，英語(yǔ)里面通常用not good at something。
甚至英語(yǔ)的思維直接踴躍到：我不是一個(gè)好的舞者。
9. 現(xiàn)在幾點(diǎn)鐘了?What time is it now??What time is it, please??
What time is it now這是一個(gè)直接從漢語(yǔ)翻譯過(guò)的句子，講英語(yǔ)的時(shí)候沒(méi)有必要說(shuō)now，因?yàn)椴豢赡軉?wèn)what time was it
yesterday或者what time is it tomorrow。
所以符合英語(yǔ)習(xí)慣的說(shuō)法是：請(qǐng)問(wèn)現(xiàn)在幾點(diǎn)了?還有一種說(shuō)法是：how are we
doing for time，在有時(shí)間限制的時(shí)候特別合適
10. 我的英語(yǔ)很糟糕。My English is poor.?I am not 100%
fluent, but at
least I am
improving.?
有人開(kāi)玩笑說(shuō)，全中國(guó)人最擅長(zhǎng)的一句英文是：My English is poor
如果是美國(guó)人，無(wú)論他們的漢語(yǔ)是好是壞，他們會(huì)說(shuō): I am
still having a few
problem, but I'm
getting better。
以后和外國(guó)同行交流，可以實(shí)事求是地說(shuō)：我的英語(yǔ)還不算十分流利，但至少我在進(jìn)步。
11. 我沒(méi)有經(jīng)驗(yàn)I have no
experience. ?I am afraid I don't know much
about that. ?
I have no experience這句話聽(tīng)起來(lái)古里古怪，因?yàn)橹恍枰f(shuō)：I am not
really an
expert in this area.就行了。
12. 你周五愿意參加我們的晚會(huì)嗎？
Would you like to join our
party on
Friday??Would you like to come to our party on Friday
night? ?
join往往是指參加俱樂(lè)部或者協(xié)會(huì)，如：join the
Communist Party.
事實(shí)上，常常與party搭配的動(dòng)詞的come 或者go。如go a wild party，或者come to a
Christmas Party。
13. 他的身體很健康His body is
healthy.?He is in good
health.?You can also say: He’s healthy.?
14. 價(jià)錢(qián)很昂貴/便宜。The price is too expensive/cheap.?The price is too high/
rather low.?
15. 我們下了車(chē)We got off the car.?We got out of the car.?
16. 車(chē)速快了The
speed of the car is fast.?The car is
speeding.?Or: The car is going too fast.?
17. 我很喜歡它 I very like it.?I like it very much.?
18. 我覺(jué)得右手很疼I feel very
painful in my right hand.?My right hand is very painful.?Or: My right hand
hurts(
aches).?
19. 別理她Don't pay
attention to her.?
Leave her
alone.?
20. 我在大學(xué)里學(xué)到了許多知識(shí)I get a lot of
knowledge in the
university.?I
learned a lot in university.?
