你的“How to say”说得对么?
讲英语的时候相信大家都遇到过这种情况,很急于表达某个意思,话明明就在嘴边,可就是说不出来。其实这种情况不仅发生在 non-native speakers 身上,就是native-speakers也会时常遇到这种情况。那么该如何巧妙的避免这种尴尬呢?
其实这种情况的发生,不仅仅是语言的.问题,还有一部分是沟通的问题。这时我们需要的就是争取一点时间来整理思路、组织语言。在这段谈话的空档,中国人习惯会说“怎么说呢?”来避免尴尬。在英语会话场景中,很多中国人就会把这句话直译过去说:“How to say?”但实际上这是一句很典型的Chinglish。那么该怎样自然又地道地表达“怎么说呢”?
QUAD小编告诉你,一句很简单的“How should I put it ? ”就可以解决问题啦!
具体用法见以下例句:
1. A:I saw the pictures you posted on WeChat, you must have had a great time in Thailand.
B:Well, it was a great experience, but…How should I put it ? The scenery there was beautiful, but I started to run a fever the second day I got there, so I didn’t quite enjoy myself.
2. Don’t take me wrong. How should I put it ? I didn’t mean to pry into your privacy. I was just concerned that the event may affect your own schedule.
另外,在回答不了别人的提问时,一般场合下可采用以下回应:
You got me. /Beats me. 问倒我了
A: Do you know why Jack left early?
B: You got me. /Beats me.
2. I have no idea/clue. 我不清楚
A: How come a hard-working person like Jay didn't get a promotion?
B: I have no idea/clue.
QUAD拓展
在给客户做business presentation时,总是会需要回答观众的问题。遇到那些棘手的不知道怎么回答的问题时,在这种正式场合中,可以采用以下几种表达:
1. Good question. To be honest, I’m afraid I don’t have an answer for you. But let me get back to youwith an answer by tomorrow, is that Okay?
2. Thanks for your question, but honestly, I’m not an expert in this. I’ll consult my colleague after this meeting and get back to you later. Sound good?
