用小词表达你的思想
第一词:TRY
我们先看几个来自生活中的句子,都是常见句子(注:所谓Chinglish只是相对,并非绝对): M q!d0| R ~
1、这蛋糕真好吃,你尝点。,a o!I4i q ^
Chinglish:This cake is so delicious, plea eat a little.
Revision: The cake is so delicious. Plea try some. H C$J O F&l \ f0@
2、这样不行,你再看看。太傻超级论坛-\)E S S u r E ~
Chinglish: It won't do. Plea e it again.
Revision: It won't do. Plea try again.
3、我做过一两次,都失败了。
Chinglish: I did one or two times, but I failed.
Revision: I tried a couple of times, but I failed.
4、请您放心,我一定有多少力,出多少力。太傻超级论坛$h e x z u z S
Chinglish: Plea put down your heart. I'll give all my strength out. r
Revsion: Don't worry, I'll try my best.$H(`.S Bt
5、这件裙子真漂亮,你穿上看看?
This skirt looks so beautiful. Would you plea try it?.v,r:\ d U Y
————————————
凡是带有“尝试”、做事没底但是还是做了等,可以选用try一词,简单又实用。当然,try还有审判的意思。z
So, Plea try this word more often.太傻超级论坛
在中对try的原形进行搜索,“约有158,000,000项符合try的查询结果”,也就是近1.6亿个结果。可见try是多么受欢迎。那么我们用过多少次?
第二词 Enjoy
这一动词我印象比较深刻,它的用法比较简单,凡是带有“享受到”的意思就可以用。反义词是suffer (from)。#v M F X!p V y
经典用法是享有……声誉。在公司、单位英文介绍里可以说简直是不可或缺的一个词。
如: m"i"d ?"u!@ F.E$t$\
In Africa, Botswana is one of the few countries which enjoys a good reputation for corruption control and the DCEC has attracted favourable attention from analysts, donors and Botswana's regional neighbours.
顺便再说一句,好的用enjoy,不好的可用suffer。一想到灾难、甚至阿富汗、伊拉克什么的就应该想到suffer这个词。这个词就不单独列出来了。
再如:UN conference to study why women in war-torn States suffer`$justice deficit.
第三词 Available
这个词有点怪,是形容词,但是一般放到所修饰的词后面。凡句子中含有是“有……可以用到”的时候都可以考虑这个词。这个词关系到我们思维方式,而不是这个词用法有多复杂。反义词是unavailable.
先看几个句子:
1、对不起,没座了。:g K U N
Chinglish: Sorry, we have no ats now.
Revision: Sorry, no ats available.GRE,TOEFL,SAT,IELTS,GMAT,visa,USA,留学,签证,申请,美国,英国,加拿大,欧洲 Z e k-v)G*S3p.O
2、网站暂时无法访问。.O)B:E n7{ M;H W f7p
Chinglish: This website can't be visited temporarily.
Revision: Website Temporarily Unavailable.
有时候尽管不是
非用available/unavailable不可,但是多用一些,看起来正宗。在中搜索结果:是约有441,
000,000项符合available的查询结果,即4亿多条,但是我们用过几次。他们爱用的我们老不用,难怪大打折扣。要学习例句,里多得是。几亿条了可不是。
第四词 Surpri
有人可能会说,这个词有什么了不起?选中这个词,完全就看重这个词包含的一种文化。西方人注重生活情调,特别看重带给朋友或家人的“惊喜”。
先看几个句子:GRE,TOEFL,SAT,IELTS,GMAT,visa,USA,留学,签证,申请,美国,英国,加拿大,欧洲'p7g ^7^ S o7|#Q
1、我男朋友来看我了。真是个惊喜!
My boyfriend has come to e me. It's really a big surpri!
2、对于这名老教师来说,真是惊喜连连啊。8A$t ` K0F+s!E#R
To this veteran teacher, it's one surpri after another.太傻超级论坛 r'W;N1]7[ s/F A
这个词不难用。作为国人,要提高自己的生活趣味,就多点surpri吧! ?#P H aB n;b1D1c
在中,约有25,100,000项符合surpri的查询结果。
第五词 Skills太傻超级论坛&V
作“技能、水平”讲。以前一想到“水平”一词,就会想到level一词,但是老外可不是这么想的。skills一词更近。先看几个句子:u0E/K+O,G R
1、怎样才能提高我们的英语水平?
Chinglish:How to improve our English level? (他们一般不这么说,但是应该可以看懂)
Revision :How to improve our English skills?
2、他写作、翻译水平很高。
Chinglish:His writing and translating level are very high.
Revision:He has very good writing and translation skills.
现在追求技术的时代,skills也走俏。什么English skills, computer skills, study skills, survival skills, 都泛滥了,我们也"决口"一次如何?
第六词 Offer
这个词比较微妙。英译中时不太好处理,正因如此,这个词才值得我们重视。 A Y R;~ E)w,N
先看几个句子:太傻超级论坛J%T F r v"q
1、谢谢你的好意,不过我可以走回去。
Chinglish:Thank you for your goodwill, but I can go home on foot.j'K
Revision: Thanks for your offer, but I can walk home.2D%};['Q?A Q
2、全国人民纷纷向灾区伸出了援助之手。8S a/l F/o/O!k$N;n o
version 1:People from all over the country all giving their hands to the disaster area.0i"S4R,d*x-Fc"k [| y
Alt Version: People from all over the country are offering helping hands to the disaster area.-f4J?3、他给了一件工作给我。
version 1: He gave me a job to do.8I J o x/V*[ S8j
Better version: He offered me a job. k1Q J S%J q
o
Offer可以做动词用,也可以做名词用。还有一些固定搭配,其中Job offer非常红。
凡是带有“给予”、“善意提供的(帮忙)”等意思
,就可以考虑offer这个词。我们可以把give一些空间让点给offer。
这个机会可是我最后给你的。答应不答应随你的便。This is my last offer to you. Take it or leave it.
第七词 Difference
意思是差别。对于difference只需要掌握一到两个短语,我们口语水平就会前进一大步,让你的同学对你刮目相看,那就是make a difference(有很大不同)或make no differences(没什么不同)。
1、你说的什么移动、联通, 我看还不一路货色。 Z `4u M9V r
You're talking about Telecom and Unicom. The way I e it, they make no differences at all.
2、这种化妆品你用用看,效果绝对不一样。
Chinglish: Plea u this kind of cosmetics, the effect is absolutely different.
Revision: Plea try this sort of cosmetics, i bet it'll make a big difference.
(不好意思,我就是喜欢try这个词)
3、上帝啊,再给我一次机会,我不会再这样了。
Chinglish:God, plea give me a chance again, I won't do this again.太傻超级论坛 N#y5_?H!G!r
Revision: God, plea grant me another chance春天开的花有什么
, and I'll make a difference.
凡是一样不一样,都可以考虑这两个短语,你用好了,绝对可以make a difference。
另外说一下,受教科书的影响,说“不同”的时候中国学生习惯be different from这一句型。但是很多时候differ from这个动词形式更简单,try it, and you'll make a difference,让你的老师、同学对你刮目相看。
西方人崇尚个人奋斗,追求与他人不一样。这个词,对于他们来说,太神圣了。在中,make a difference这一短语搜索结果近600万,所以以后有条件,我们就要make a difference,没有条件时,创建条件也要make a difference。
第八词 point
pointless(没意义)一词也算它一伙的。 T;d*j8G:b
提到这个词,完全是meaning 一词在作怪。
先看几个例子:GRE,TOEFL,SAT,IELTS,GMAT,visa,USA,留学,签证,申请,美国,英国,加拿大,欧洲;J%@%?*l-O!n
1、你这样做是什么意思?太傻超级论坛 O i U U1q P
Chinglish: What is your meaning in doing this?
Revision: What's your point?
2、如果你抽烟的话,就别怕得癌症。再问“上帝怎么这样对我啊”没什么意义。
Chinglish: If you smoke, you should not be afraid to get lung cancer. It's meaningless to ask "why did God do this to me?". (注:meaningless可用,但是老外不爱用,爱用的是我们)
Revision: If you smoke, you should be prepared to get lung cancer; it's pointless towww.ta进入英文
*y
&s/Y E B-T ~,L
ask "why did God do this to me?".GRE,TOEFL,SAT,IELTS,GMAT,visa,USA,留学,签证,申请,美国,英国,加拿领导讲话稿范文
大,欧洲%I R a
要洗脑子,转变中式思维习惯,就别怕“矫枉过正”。以后凡是遇到“有意义”、“没意义”的时候,先考虑point/poinless,而不要先考虑m
eaning什么的。
第九词 Access
意思很多,英汉不好一一对应,先看一些例句。 C Y(t @9} p K
1、我这里上不了网。
Chinglish: I can't go on internet here. (老外还以为是你有事、或这里不适合而不能上网)
Revision: I can't access the web/the internet here. (说明想上但是上不了) b;G h y8]5` N;} C8l f
2、天!今天我邮箱打不开了!
Chinglish: My god! I can't open my mail box today! (我看也可以这么说,但是这样说不如下面的好)
Revision: My god! I can't access my mail box today!
这个词网络味比较浓,既然我们天天上网来混,应该多了解一下。
第十词 Sen
这个词主要由于几个相关短语而流行的。
这几个短语分别是: a n of (responsibility, )---有幽默感等, make n/not make any n,有意义,没意义(所以我说别老用meaningless,不是人家听不懂,那很中式的)。
几个例句:(c*@5R |(w
1、我很喜欢他。他很有幽默感。
Chinglish: I very like him. He is very humorous.
Revision: I like him very much. He has a good n of humor.太傻超级论坛!_2l K9V I6t
2、我知道,不过有的地方没什么意义。
Chinglish: I know, but it's meaningless in some places.#C | y7R F U
Revision: I know, but again at some point it doesn't make any n.
3、什么?至少六周?这样做有什么意义呢?-P#|#a*W9m'| r
What? at least 6 weeks? Does it make any n?(或what's your point?)
第十一词: Afford
意思是买的起,付得起、花得起时间、金钱、精力等。GRE,TOEFL,SAT,IELTS,GMAT,visa,USA,留学,签证,申请,美国,英国,加拿大,欧洲 E {!^9i'E0} b H
但是Afford只能表示能力,不表示意愿。例如我们可以说I'm willing to pay, but I really can't afford it,而不能说I'm willing to afford it。 Os ^;g q!\
用好这个词,我们的水平就会提高一个档次,让你的同学打心底里佩服。
我们来看一些例子:
1、这顶帽子贵得也太离谱了,我买不起。$j ]?[ d/u
Chinglish: This hat is extremely expensive, I can't buy it.
Revision: This hat is so expensive that I can't afford it.
2、这个村子里好多儿童都上不起学。
Chinglish: Lots of kids can't go to school becau they're poor. (意思表达出来了但是不精练)
Revision: Plenty of kids in this village can't afford to go to school (can't afford education). ? M [7l n世界上最大的鲨鱼
l8~8}
3、抱歉,我跟你玩不起。
Chinglish: Sorry, I can't play with you.&G A-k J:q,@*P
Revision: I can't afford to play 'games' with you, sorry.
这100词到底要写多长时间,我也不知道。现在工作太忙了,老板要知道我偷偷干别的,还不炒了我,所以我还得慢慢写,I can't afford to lo my job, becau I'm the bread-winner and I have a big f
amily to support.
第十二词 Derve
这个词字面意思是“值得”、“该受到”,可褒可贬。用到的场合其实挺多的。几个例句就可以解决问题。 u j
1、你是老鼠戏猫,真是自作自受!太傻超级论坛 { P$Y
Chinglish: You're like a rat teasing (下面不会了) e(k j Z$g"p
Revision: I think you're playing with fire. You derve it!
2、那个好心女孩终于嫁给了她的心上人。她是有好报。
Chinglish: That good-hearted girl was married to the man in her heart at last. She was good so she had a good end.
Revision: That good-hearted girl married her 'prince' finally. She derved it. H k ]4[6W6l
3、你竟敢这样对我?找打啊?
Chinglish: How dare you do this to me? Do you want me to beat you?
Revision: How dare you do this to me? You derve a kick in the ass!GRE,TOEFL,SAT,IELTS,GMAT,visa,USA,留学,签证,申请,美国,英国,加拿大,欧洲 j._"P
4、你很有能力,你应该找到更好的工作才是! N k [ ` um ~
You're very able. You derve a good job. ?Z%b M ^2M%U(?
这个词比较微妙,个人喜欢这个词,不多说了。GRE,TOEFL,SAT,IELTS,GMAT,visa,USA,留学,签证,申请,美国,英国,加拿大,欧洲 z'c'M r
If you think that I derve some applaus or flowers, why not let me know about it.
第十三词 Frustrated
表示心情沮丧、灰心丧气时,老外偏爱frustrated这一词。我们喜欢是sad, lo one's heart等表达法。没说过frustrated一词三次以上的,那么英语还不算入门,用法特别简单,当你觉得灰心丧气时,forget about "sad", u this word instead.太傻
例句:GRE,TOEFL,SAT,IELTS,GMAT,visa,USA,留学,签证,申请,美国,英国,加拿大,欧洲-g
1、没有一个女孩子给我写过信,我真是沮丧极了。 V;M n;Q
Y3I'm so frustrated that no girls wrote me. k b w&|;U i&O8V#O
2、公司业绩总是不好,总经理真是心灰意懒。;{ J q7o1V xv
Chinglish: The total manager is very sad becau the achievement is not good.
Revision: The general manager is so frustrated for the poor performance of his company.
——————
If, if lots of people come and shout to me:"Coolmax, your English is so poor and limited!" I'll be extremely frustrated.
再说一遍,以后要常说 frustrated哦!说多了,你就有老外的感觉了。
第十四词 Indifferent
这一词表示冷漠、无动于衷的意思。很容易用,用起来就让人觉得地道。既然这么好用,我们就该多用,用过了也没事。
其名词形式是indifference。/v#B6Y ['C7lC d$D
例句:
1、为什么对这次海啸受害者有些人却无动于衷?2C k-X,q~
Why some people are so indifferent to the victims of this tsunami?$D P!I,d.~
2、他对别人对他的侮辱与嘲笑不屑一顾。
He was indifferent to insults and sc
orns thrown at him.太傻超级论坛1D;R7R
}9R8HH B
When I was very young, I liked a girl named "Xiaofang" very much, and I tryied all means available to plea her, but she was still indifferent to me. At last I became utterly frustrated and lost my patien
ce. !l r \?L C c
第十五词 Promi
许诺,酒店宣传语
承诺。西方人很神圣的一个词,我们不可不用,也不可滥用。“君子一言,驷马难追”啊!
对于Promi一词,我们用真诚的心来使用它。
例句:
1、君子一言,驷马难追太傻超级论坛
A promi is a promi. (最简单、最朴实的语言,蕴藏了多少艰辛!)
2、我保证我再也不犯这种错误了。
I promi I won't make this kind of mistakes again!
说话算数哦!再说一遍,不可不用,不可滥用,好神圣的一个词。对于老外,哪怕是你随口答应的,也一定要办到!现在已经有老外控告我们中国人老说谎了!例如一起合影,有学生随口答应给老外洗一张,结果老外等来等去,就是没人给送。其实文化不太一样,我们委婉谢绝或说点便宜话,但是他
们看不出来的。
第十六词 Hurt
“受伤”或“疼痛”的意思。可能是生理上受伤,更表示心里上受伤。很红的一个词,失恋的人必备词汇。唉,我们的传统英文教育就是那么回事,学了10年英文,不知道“我手指疼”怎么说的大有人在。
先看几个例句:-P8m1E:TN)a |'D T
1、对不起啊,我是无意伤害你的。 H d ] ` T Z
Chinglish: Sorry, I didn't want to harm you on purpo.
Revision: Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you.
2、哦,天哪!你竟然不理我了。我受伤了。
Chinglish: Oh, God, you don't notice me! I am injured.(Injure一词一般不用于心理方面的伤害)。
Revision: Oh, God, how come you start to ignore me! I'm hurt.
3、别动我,我右手大拇指指疼。
Chinglish: Don't move me! My right thumb aches. (动某人的话也可以用 touch) m.n v$t*c
Revision: Leave me alone! My right thumb hurts.
At last I want to remind some friends that we should never tell a woman tha怎样做水煮肉片
t she is 'fat'. She would be hurt or even offended if you do that.
第十七词 Mislead
其形容词是Misleading,被动形式是be mislead。意思是误导。我们国人不太爱说,但是爱好政治与辩论的老外整天把这个词挂在嘴上。所以我们要学。
这个词不难用,关键是思维方式不同。
我们先看几个例句:
1、你没有意识到这份报纸在误导民众吗?'y'x1F!D1l
Haven't you realized this newspaper is misleading its readers?太傻超级论坛?V+b
2、我觉得你是被宣传误导了,也许是被洗了脑子了。 M#L8wz7N
I deem that you're mislead by the propaganda and maybe you're brainwashed.
So, my only wish reagarding this thread is that I'm not misleading.
最后别忘了,这个词也
