有时大家说英文措辞不对,或是叫法不地道,导致误会或是疑惑。那麼大家就*须换一种叫法表述清晰,令人搞清楚。 看下面这组会话:
Mark: "English is a very easy language to learn."
Susan: "What do you mean?"
Mark: "Well, what I meant to say was that it is easy if you practice every day."
Susan: "Oh, right."
下列是几类在日常英语中可以把难题表述清晰的正宗叫法:
1、资产重组句子,换一种叫法
"What I meant to say was..."
"Let me rephrase that..."
"Let me put this another way..."
"Perhaps I'm not making myself clear..."
2、从头开始再说一次
"If we go back to the beginning..."
"The basic idea is ..."
"One way of looking at it is..."
"Another way of looking at it is..."
3、假如一下子信用卡壳,记不起来用英语怎么说
"I can't find the word I'm looking for..."
"I'm not sure that this is the right word, but..."
"What I want to say is..."
不要害怕反复你的话,假如每一次表述得话都是有略微的区别,令人能够猜测到你要说什么。
