時間: 若木631 分享

  下面是學(xué)習(xí)啦小編整理的辦公室實用英語,歡迎大家閱讀!

  1. The meeting was scheduled for two hours, but it is not over yet.

  會議原定兩個小時,不過現(xiàn)在還沒有結(jié)束。

  2. Would you care to see it/sit down for a while?

  你要不要看/坐一會呢?

  3.Do you have the time?

  別人征求你的意見,問能否開窗戶等,你要是說"You can do that."就有點土了,用一句"Do you have the time?"就好多了。實際上,問他人的姓名、地址都可以這么用,"May I have your name?"要比"What's your name?"禮貌得多,不過警察例外。

  4. I'm supposed to go on a diet/get a raise.

  我應(yīng)該節(jié)食/漲工資。

  5. I'm afraid that it's not going to work out.

  我恐怕這事不會成的。

  6. Do you mind if I take tomorrow off?

  你介意我明天請假嗎?

  7. It really depends on who is in charge.

  那純粹要看誰負(fù)責(zé)了。

  8.I would rather not say.

  別人問你不愿公開的問題,切勿用"It's my secret, don't ask such a personal question."回答,一來顯得你沒有個性,二來也讓對方覺得你氣短。你可以說"I would rather not say."(還是別說了吧)。

  9.It's on the tip of my tongue.

  有時候,你想說什么,可是想不起來,你可以說"Well…"、"Let me see."、"Just a moment."或"It's on the tip of my tongue."等。相比之下,最后一個句型是最地道的。

  10. While I remember…

  交談時,你可能會轉(zhuǎn)換話題,不要只說"By the way",實際上,"To change the subject"、"Before I forget"、"While I remember"、"Mind you"都是既地道又受歡迎的表達(dá)。

  11. I got it.

  遇到你不懂的問題時可別不懂裝懂,"I know"可能是被中國人用得最多,而最不被美國人接受的一句話。當(dāng)一個美國教師向你解釋某個問題時,你如果連說兩遍"I know",我敢保證他不會再跟你說什么了。用"I got it."就順耳得多,要是不懂就說"I'm not clear about it."。不過如果你會說"It's past my understanding."或"It's beyond me.",你的教師一定會驚訝不已的。

  12.You're in the pink!

  要想說人氣色好,"You look fine!"當(dāng)然不錯,可如果你說"You're in the pink!"就妙得多了。實際上,在英語口語中,巧妙使用一些表示顏色的詞能使得句子非常形象生動。

  13.He is bouncy.

  要表達(dá)"他精力充沛",美國人通常說"He is bouncy." 而不說"He is energetic"。牢記一些日常對話中的句式是你生活中一把必備的鑰匙,如:久仰,"I get mind of you."比"I heard a lot about you."輕松得多。

  14.Did you get lost?

  有人開會遲到了,你若對他說"You are late.",聽起來像是廢話。若說"Did you get lost?"則更能讓他感到歉疚,可千萬別說成"Get lost!",那可是讓人滾蛋的意思。
