I Think放错地方会误解
<p>林先生注意到美籍主管<span word="Jim">Jim</span>经常会提出部属表现出色的地方，并且在适当的时候给予赞美，激发他们做得更好。拜<span word="Jim">Jim</span>提的点子所赐，工作进展非常顺利。一次林先生叫住了吉姆。</p><p><span word="Mr">Mr</span>.<span word="Lin">Lin</span>: <span word="Jim">Jim</span>, <span word="your">your</span> <span word="idea">idea</span> <span word="really">really</span> <span word="helped">helped</span> <span word="us">us</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="lot">lot</span>!</p><p>吉姆，你的点子真是帮了大忙了。</p><p><span word="Jim">Jim</span>: <span word="Thank">Thank</span> <span word="you">you</span>. <span word="This">This</span> <span word="program">program</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="working">working</span> <span word="really">really</span> <span word="well">well</span>.</p><p>谢谢。这个程序进行地很顺利。</p><p>（<span word="Jim">Jim</span>显得非常高兴，也充满了干劲。）</p><p><span word="Mr">Mr</span>.<span word="Lin">Lin</span>: <span word="Yes">Yes</span>. <span word="You">You</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="great">great</span> <span word="programmer">programmer</span>, <span word="I">I</span> <span word="think">think</span>.</p><p>是啊。你是个很好的程序员。</p><p>（林先生想要强调"我真的是这么认为"，所以还加强语气说了"<span word="I">I</span> <span word="think">think</span>"。但一听到"<span word="I">I</span> <span word="think">think</span>"，刚刚还笑逐言开的<span word="Jim">Jim</span>，脸上却掠过一抹阴影。）</p><p>原来，在句子最后加上"<span word="I">I</span> <span word="think">think</span>"，表示"是不是如此，我自己也没有什么自信。"的意思。在<span word="Jim">Jim</span>听来，林先生说"我认为你是个很优秀的程序员（但其他人是不是这么认为，我就没有把握）。"那到底是褒是贬，就很难说了。如果说"<span word="I">I</span> <span word="think">think</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="great">great</span> <span word="programmer">programmer</span>."，那<span word="Jim">Jim</span>就不会垂头丧气了。这时省略"<span word="I">I</span> <span word="think">think</span>"，而直接说"<span word="You">You</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="great">great</span> <span word="programmer">programmer</span>!"，反而更能正确表达。想要明确地表达"我认为"，要将"<span word="I">I</span> <span word="think">think</span>"放在句子的开头。</p>
