第一篇:地道口語:10句話教你對老外說“不”
1.I am sorry to turn you down.我很抱歉必須拒絕你。
Turn you down 就是拒絕別人的要求,例如有一次我要請老美去參加一個 party,她說她很抱歉無法參加,就是用的這句 “I am sorry to turn you down.” 另外像是男生要追女生,女生要拒絕他,也可以用 turn down,例如 “I am sorry but I have to turn you down.” 另外不要忘了,turn down 還有一個解釋就是把音量或是冷氣關小。以前我也常把 turn you down 和 let you down 搞混了,這二者是完全不同的意思,turn down 表示拒絕,而 let down 則表示讓人家失望。
2.I am not interested.我沒有興趣。
剛來美國,家里又有電話的人一定要趕快把這句話學會,因為很快地就會有電話推銷員找上門來,這時你要說的就是 “I am not interested.” 這樣子對方就不會糾纏太久了。
通常在拒絕別人的時候要注意一下說話的語氣。像這句 “I am not interested.” 聽來就不太客氣。通常要使得拒絕別人的話聽來客氣一點,只要在句首加上 “I am sorry.” 整句話的口氣立刻就不一樣了。所以禮貌一點的說法應該是 “I am sorry.I am not interested.” 聽來是不是客氣很多?
3.I'll think about it.我要考慮看看。這句話也是在買東西時候講的,例如你去百貨公司專柜買化裝品,雖然專柜小姐講了半天你也覺得還不錯,但總覺得太貴,你就可以說 “OK, I'll think about it.” 就是我再考慮看看了!當然你就可以趁機脫身了。
4.I can't afford it.我付不起。
一樣東西太貴你買不起就可以這么說 “I can't afford it.” 你都講明了我沒錢了,想必人家不會繼續糾纏吧!其實不然,我自己就遇到過蠻惡劣的。我說 “I can't afford it.” 那個老黑居然說 “Do you have credit card?” 天啊!要我借錢買東西,門都沒有,我就說 “No.” 沒想到他更狠,說我們有自己的信用卡,你要不要現場申請一張,我們可以立刻給你 $1,000 的 credit.天啊!做生意作成這樣,也太夸張了。
美國買東西都有所謂的 refund 制度,就是東西買完之后不滿意都可以拿去退錢。有時候店員會問你(通常不會問)為什么要拿來 refund。通常你就可以直接了當地說 “I don't like it.” 或是 “It's too expensive.I can't afford it.” 5.I can't handle it.我應付不來。
這個 handle 跟 afford 的區別要分清楚,handle 指的是事情上應付不來,而 afford 多半指金錢上無法負擔。像是上學期我跟我同學說 “I took too many courses, I can't afford it.” 她就回答我說 “You mean you can't handle it?” 所以handle 這個字和 afford 是不太一樣的。再舉一個例子,例如工作很多作不完,你就可以這么說 “There's too much workload here.I can't handle it.” 有時老中會說成 “I can't afford it.” 是不正確的用法。
6.I am really not in the mood.我真的沒有什么心情。
Mood 解釋成心情,沒有心情你可以說成 “I don't have the mood.” 或是 “I am not in the mood.” 比如考試期間,別人還找你出去玩,你就可以這么拒絕他 “I am sorry.I am really not in the mood.” 非廣告時間,我的個人網頁叫 ICQ 心情點播站,(其實現在這個網站跟 ICQ 跟心情點播都沒什么關系了,但我還是維持我原來的名稱)而這個站的英文名字就是 ICQ Mood,聽起來還可以吧?
7.There is nothing to talk about.沒什么好說的。
當別人問你的問題你不想回答或懶得回答時就可以回答 “There is nothing to talk about.” 例如有人問你考試考幾分,你自己考得太差而不想講,就可以說 “There is nothing to talk about.” 另外一個類似的用法叫 “No comment.” 就是說無可奉告的意思。
在英語 There is nothing to V.可當作是一個片語來使用,解釋成沒什么好怎樣怎樣的,例如 There is nothing to worry about, 就是說沒什么好擔心的。記得看某部電影時小孩子問他爸爸,我們家的錢倒底夠不夠用,父親就對小孩子說 “There is nothing for you to worry about.” 8.I really want to, but I got hundreds of things to do.我想去,可是我有好多好多事情要做。
別人邀請你參加他們的活動,就算你不想去,也不要直接了當地說 “No, I don't want to.” 這樣子別人下次可能就不會找你了。試著用這種比較好的說法,先說 “I really want to” , 或是 “I really love to”, 再來才接著說 “but I got hundreds of things to do”.這樣感覺上比較禮貌,也比較不會讓別人覺得沒面子。
9.I don't want to go and that's that.我不想去,就是這樣。
That's that 通常是接在否定句后,意思是,就這樣了,不必再多說了。這樣的語氣是很強烈的,通常聽的人可能會不太高興。有時電話推銷員很煩人我也會跟他說 “That's that.” 也許一開始你只是很客氣地說 “I am not interested.” 可是有些人就會不識相地一直說 “What do you want me to do to change your mind?” 這時我就會不客氣地說 “I don't want it, and that's that.” 通常他就會知道你是真的煩了。
“That's that.” 這句話跟 “That's it.” 不太一樣 “That's it.” 的意思是就這樣吧,就這些吧,在點餐時會用的到。That's that 則是表示不想再跟對方談下去了,同樣的情況,你也可以這么說 “The conversation is over.” 我想這個意思也很明顯了。
10.That's enough, anymore is just overkill.那就夠了,再多一點也是多余的。Overkill 這個字在美國的口語就是多余的意思,它跟 kill 是一點關系也沒有。在字典上我查不到“ 多余 ” 的意思,所以諸位看官也不要浪費時間去查字典了,但我請教過老美,這字的確是多余的意思。例如有一次跟一個老美打球,打了二局之后我問他還要不要再打,他 就說 “That's enough, anymore is just overkill.” 或是吃東西時你問別人還要不要再吃,如果別人吃不下了他就可以說 “No, thanks.That's overkill.”
第二篇:實用口語教你如何跟老外聊天(精選)
實用口語教你如何跟老外聊天
今天凱撒國際英語的小編教您如何跟外國朋友聊天。如果你不了解外國人的文化習慣,那么你們可能聊天不會太愉快,如果你看完這篇文章,你會恍然大悟,原來和老外交朋友也是很容易的事。好啦,開始學習吧!
首先,電影、餐廳、公眾事件、假期和電視節目(films, restaurants, public events, vacations and TV shows)這幾個都是西方人樂于聊的東西,用它們作為聊天話題絕對沒錯,不用擔心觸到雷區~~此外,傳說中外國人很喜歡談論的天氣也是可以拿來當話題的,不過有些人會覺得有點無聊就是了。
其次大家要了解,西方人還蠻喜歡給朋友建議的,所以如果你拿某件事兒來問他們,他們會很樂意給你答案的喲~~比方說:
Do you know if anything good is playing at the cinema right now?
你知道影院里現在有上映什么好電影嗎?(“電影院”英國人說cinema,美國人則說movie theater)
I really want to find a good Italian restaurant;any suggestions? 我很想找到一家好的意大利餐館,你有什么推薦嗎?
I saw an advertisement on TV last night for that new show, Prison Break.Have you seen it?
昨晚我在電視里看到那部新劇《越獄》的廣告,你看到了嗎?
3.最后,要想把談話繼續下去,最好的辦法就是多問問題啦!
比如你問,“Do you know any good Italian restaurants?”(你知道什么吃意大利菜的好地方嗎?)對方卻回答,“No, sorry—I don't really like Italian food.”(對不起我不知道,其實我不太喜歡吃意大利菜……)那你可以接著問,“Oh, ok.What kind of food do you usually go out for then?”(哦~~那你一般出去吃哪種菜呢?)這樣就能比較順利地把話題繼續下去哦!

第五篇:脫離模版說地道托福口語
目前,托福口語在托福考試中是讓中國考生望而生畏的一個部分,因為沒有語言遠景等一些原因,所以導致我們的口語能力并不理想。托福口語準備要怎么準備,以及托福口語特點都是幫助我們訓練口語的重要部分。
托福口語難原因大部分是以下兩點:
第一,中國學生缺乏英文的語言環境。
第二,心理因素。因為不敢說,不想說。
而對于模板,上海環球托福小編相信每個考生都會積累和搜集,但是,僅僅如此,很難在眾多同學中脫穎而出。換位思考,對于考官,面對著眾考生和那些堆砌的華麗模板,誰都會審美疲勞吧。所以,要讓考官印象深刻,就得讓自己的口語更地道。在這里上海環球托福小編給大家提出2點建議:
1.大量的去看口語書、多看原版電影,越生活化的越好
從電影中大量的搜集日常的對話,把它們說得要像說自己的名字那樣嫻熟,要說得像“What's your name? Thank you!"那樣自然,然后你要對你的家人說,你不會對你的爸爸、媽媽說話也羞澀吧?你說出一句英文,你告訴他們你的中文意思就可以。
這樣還能練習的你的中英互換。然后同樣的句子,你對你最好的朋友說,因為她們不會笑話你說錯了,誰都知道說好英語是件非常不錯的事情。這樣,針對不同的人說同樣的話,慢慢地你會減少恐懼感,說話會比較自然、流利了。既然你能和別人說好中文,就一定能說好英文。
2.找一張自己最喜歡的原版電影
你把臺詞寫出來,然后自己當演員,比如說像《羅馬假日》,你就當那個公主,當你的大臣、還有偶然遇到的那個男主角和你說話的時候,你就做出公主的回答。一個人在家里練習,沒人會笑話你的。
各種電影中有各種不同的英語口音,你又是在跟這些國際大牌明星對話,那是多么的了不得!大街上一個區區平常的外國人你還在意嗎?“咱是跟大牌明星天天說話的主兒!”只要環境熟悉了,說話也就不緊張了。無非就是個熟練程度的問題。
還有,如果你真的碰到了外國人,剛開始緊張也很自然,外國人也是知道這點的。他們也會放慢語速和你交流的,說上幾句適應了,你也就不緊張了,然后你告訴他(她)平時很少能和外國人交流,所以說英語勢必會緊張一些,甚至有的不會說。他們能夠理解。如果說他們不理解,你就直接說你那最純正、最流利的漢語,說得他們暈頭轉向,照樣很了不起!

托福口語準備階段的最后一個部分,當然就是練習口語了。消除了心理的說英語恐懼,也積累了一定的材料并總結出了自己的答題思路,這個時候就要通過實踐自我考察了。上海環球托福建議考生們將自己說的話錄下來并做總結和分析,這樣才能夠認識到自己口語的不足。
