你的“How to say”說得對么?
講英語的時候相信大家都遇到過這種情況,很急于表達某個意思,話明明就在嘴邊,可就是說不出來。其實這種情況不僅發(fā)生在 non-native speakers 身上,就是native-speakers也會時常遇到這種情況。那么該如何巧妙的避免這種尷尬呢?
其實這種情況的發(fā)生,不僅僅是語言的.問題,還有一部分是溝通的問題。這時我們需要的就是爭取一點時間來整理思路、組織語言。在這段談話的空檔,中國人習(xí)慣會說“怎么說呢?”來避免尷尬。在英語會話場景中,很多中國人就會把這句話直譯過去說:“How to say?”但實際上這是一句很典型的Chinglish。那么該怎樣自然又地道地表達“怎么說呢”?
QUAD小編告訴你,一句很簡單的“How should I put it ? ”就可以解決問題啦!
具體用法見以下例句:
1. A:I saw the pictures you posted on WeChat, you must have had a great time in Thailand.
B:Well, it was a great experience, but…How should I put it ? The scenery there was beautiful, but I started to run a fever the second day I got there, so I didn’t quite enjoy myself.
2. Don’t take me wrong. How should I put it ? I didn’t mean to pry into your privacy. I was just concerned that the event may affect your own schedule.
另外,在回答不了別人的提問時,一般場合下可采用以下回應(yīng):
You got me. /Beats me. 問倒我了
A: Do you know why Jack left early?
B: You got me. /Beats me.
2. I have no idea/clue. 我不清楚
A: How come a hard-working person like Jay didn't get a promotion?
B: I have no idea/clue.
QUAD拓展
在給客戶做business presentation時,總是會需要回答觀眾的問題。遇到那些棘手的不知道怎么回答的問題時,在這種正式場合中,可以采用以下幾種表達:
1. Good question. To be honest, I’m afraid I don’t have an answer for you. But let me get back to youwith an answer by tomorrow, is that Okay?
2. Thanks for your question, but honestly, I’m not an expert in this. I’ll consult my colleague after this meeting and get back to you later. Sound good?
