口語要素

大家會發(fā)現(xiàn)，對話里面出現(xiàn)最多的是精彩的“口語要素”，其實，日常對話都是這些零零碎碎的“口語要素”組成的！一部英文電影又何嘗不是成千上萬“口語要素”的集合呢

★ I can’t believe my eyes!我簡直不能相信眼前的事實！

舉一反三：

★ I changed my mind.我改變了主意。

★ I decided not to go after all.我最終還是決定不去了。

★ Whatever made you change your mind? 是什么使你改變主意的？

It’s a long story.說來話長。

You can say that again!你說得對！

Let’s have lunch together sometime soon.我們最近找時間吃個午飯吧。

【瘋狂提示】這是一個典型的結(jié)束此類談話的方式。如果有一個外國人到談話的末尾對你說出這句話，要謹記兩點：第一，不要追問確切的“一起吃午飯”的時間，第二，不要苦苦地等待那頓“不花錢的午餐”。如果對方出于誠意，他會這樣說：Let’s have lunch together next Monday, OK?

That’s a good idea.這主意不錯。

★ I’ll call you.我到時候給你打電話。

★ Take care now.多保重。

③ I’ve been meaning to 很久以來我一直想??
