熟練地運(yùn)用英語的一個(gè)重要方面就是學(xué)習(xí)并掌握英語本族者常用的生動(dòng)、活潑的習(xí)語。
1. After you.你先請(qǐng)。
這是一句很常用的客套話,在進(jìn)/出門,上車得場(chǎng)合你都可以表現(xiàn)一下。 (好象現(xiàn)在女士不愿意你這么做,特別是那些女權(quán)主義者,我還記得這么一段話:一個(gè)女士對(duì)一個(gè)讓她先行的男士說:you do this because i am a woman?那個(gè)男士回答說:i do this not because you are a woman but because i am a man!i love this guy!
2. I just couldn’t help it.我就是忍不住。
想想看,這樣一個(gè)漂亮的句子可用于多少個(gè)場(chǎng)合?下面是隨意舉的一個(gè)例子:
I was deeply moved by the film and I cried and cried. I just couldn’t help it.
太棒的句子了,我愛死它了。:)
3. Don’t take it to heart. 別往心里去,別為此而憂慮傷神。
生活實(shí)例:This test isn’t that important. Don’t take it to heart. 安慰人的超級(jí)句子。
4. We’d better be off.我們?cè)撟吡恕?/p>
It’s getting late. We’d better be off .
5. Let’s face it. 面對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)吧。
常表明說話人不愿意逃避困難的現(xiàn)狀。
參考例句:I know it’s a difficult situation. Let’s face it, OK?
很棒啊,年輕人犯錯(cuò)誤,上帝都會(huì)原諒,remember?但是犯了錯(cuò)誤,你必須面對(duì)他,let’s face it,或者是:let’s face the music.
6. Let’s get started.咱們開始干吧。
勸導(dǎo)別人時(shí)說:Don’t just talk. Let’s get started.

7. I’m really dead.我真要累死了。
坦誠(chéng)自己的感受時(shí)說:After all that work, I’m really dead.
8. I’ve done my best.我已盡力了。
這句話,很有用,失敗有時(shí)難免,但是你要是可以說,i’ve done my best.or i spare no efforts.就不必遺憾,畢竟,man supposes,god disposes.
9. Is that so?真是那樣嗎?
常用在一個(gè)人聽了一件事后表示驚訝、懷疑。
