Note:suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上,如:下列节目儿童不宜。The following programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。

) i1 D% _. v$ ?* I4 k, ~ Note:what’s yourjob这种说法难道也有毛病吗?是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业,如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子,所以您要问:目前您是在上班吗?Are youworking at the moment?接下来您才问:目前您在哪儿工作呢?Where are you working thesedays?或者您从事哪个行业呢?What line of work are youin?顺带说一下,回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点,不要只是说经理或者秘书

: U' p- i( ^# B }3 g! w; z Note:How to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一,这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有:请问这个词如何拼写?How do you* r; v( ]8 g" A/ b- O' f0 ^

' k% _. A* L( j9 s3 { T; i5 i Note: 用I have something todo来表示您很忙,这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做,躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙,脱不开身:I’m tiedup.还有其他的说法:I’m I can’t make it at that time. I’d love to, but I can’t,I have to stay at home., r/ y8 ]- ~5 l2 C

6. 我没有英文名。I haven’t English name.
0 ]! j/ e4 J. w* [- s4 `/ q R: I don’t have an English name.
8 f3 Q" J4 k$ P Note:许多人讲英语犯这样的错误,从语法角度来分析,可能是语法功底欠缺,因为have在这里是实义动词,而并不是在现在完成时里面那个没有意义的助动词。所以,这句话由肯定句变成否定句要加助动词。
5 B0 d1 g9 y/ R3 E2 R$ ?" {- r 明白道理是一回事,习惯是另一回事,请您再说几话:我没有钱;I don’t have any money.我没有兄弟姐妹;I don’t have any brothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car.

7. 我想我不行。I think I can’t.6 y j3 Q. i9 z; Q
R: I don’t think I can.
9 A9 r8 Z6 c8 M5 u2 D Note:这一组然是个习惯问题,在语法上称为否定前置,这就是汉语里面说“我想我不会”的时候,英语里面总是说“我不认为我会”。以后您在说类似的英语句子的时候,只要您留心,也会习惯英语的说法的, : j6 x) [! r0 q! T: N) c

! h7 m. O+ U" ~, G1 K/ @1 I Note:当我们说不擅长做什么事情的时候,英语里面通常用not good at something,英语的思维甚至直接踊跃到:我不是一个好的舞者。

R: What time is it, please?
! q- j1 ~/ D3 j+ ~ s, H! W7 \ Note:What time is it now这是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子,讲英语的时候没有必要说now, 因为您不可能问what time was it yesterday, 或者what time is it tommorow?所以符合英语习惯的说法是:请问现在几点了?还有一种说法是:How are we doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适

10. 我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor.3 k6 R( n, T: x# p$ H9 e! s
R: I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.* Z& Z# n4 S- Z* N' U
Note:有人开玩笑说,全中国人最擅长的一句英文是:My English is poor.实话说,我从来没有遇到一个美国人对我说:My Chinese is poor. 无论他们的汉语是好是坏,他们会说: I am still having a few problem, but I getting better. 当您告诉外国人,您的英语很poor,so what(那又怎么样呢),是要让别人当场施舍给我们一些英语呢,还是说我的英语不好,咱们不谈了吧。一个更大的弊端是,一边不停的学英语,一边不停地说自己的英语很poor, 这正像有个人一边给车胎充气,又一边在车胎上扎孔放气。所以您不用说:我的英语很poor. 您可以实事求事地说,我的英语还不算十分流利,但至少我在进步。! e0 E4 U" L( N# B' i7 d, j6 X

3 r0 F: T2 P+ f& M6 [' f: j; s Note:join往往是指参加俱乐部或者协会,如:join a health club; join the CommunistParty.事实上,常常与party搭配的动词的come 或者go。如go a wild party,或者come to aChristmas Party。8 D! L( ?+ I4 {9 E2 P

% T- V6 v6 Z1 t6 z% [ R: Sure. / Certainly.(这种说法是正确的)
/ z$ U4 T8 N& j) P$ z Note: 以英语为母语的人使用of course的频率要比中国的学生低得多,只有在回答一些众所周知的问题时才说of course。因为ofcourse后面隐含的一句话是“当然我知道啦!难道我是一个傻瓜吗?”因此,ofcourse带有挑衅的意味。在交谈时,用sure或certainly效果会好得多。同时,of coursenot也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not.
