职场英语口语：超级实用的办公室英语
<p>1. <span word="I">I</span>'<span word="m">m</span> <span word="supposed">supposed</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="go">go</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="diet">diet</span>/<span word="get">get</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="raise">raise</span>。</p><p>我应该节食/涨工资。</p><p>2.<span word="He">He</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="bouncy">bouncy</span>。</p><p>要表达"他精力充沛"，美国人通常说"<span word="He">He</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="bouncy">bouncy</span>." 而不说"<span word="He">He</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="energetic">energetic</span>"。牢记一些日常对话中的句式是你生活中一把必备的钥匙，如：久仰，"<span word="I">I</span> <span word="get">get</span> <span word="mind">mind</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="you">you</span>."比"<span word="I">I</span> <span word="heard">heard</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="lot">lot</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="you">you</span>."轻松得多。</p><p>3.<span word="Did">Did</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="get">get</span> <span word="lost">lost</span>?</p><p>有人开会迟到了，你若对他说"<span word="You">You</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="late">late</span>."，听起来像是废话。若说"<span word="Did">Did</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="get">get</span> <span word="lost">lost</span>?"则更能让他感到歉疚，可千万别说成"<span word="Get">Get</span> <span word="lost">lost</span>!"，那可是让人滚蛋的意思。</p><p>4. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="got">got</span> <span word="it">it</span>。</p><p>遇到你不懂的问题时可别不懂装懂，"<span word="I">I</span> <span word="know">know</span>"可能是被中国人用得最多，而最不被美国人接受的一句话。当一个美国教师向你解释某个问题时，你如果连说两遍"<span word="I">I</span> <span word="know">know</span>"，我敢保证他不会再跟你说什么了。用"<span word="I">I</span> <span word="got">got</span> <span word="it">it</span>."就顺耳得多，要是不懂就说"<span word="I">I</span>'<span word="m">m</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="clear">clear</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="it">it</span>."。不过如果你会说"<span word="It">It</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="past">past</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="understanding">understanding</span>."或"<span word="It">It</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="beyond">beyond</span> <span word="me">me</span>."，你的教师一定会惊讶不已的。</p><p>5.<span word="I">I</span> <span word="would">would</span> <span word="rather">rather</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="say">say</span>。</p><p>别人问你不愿公开的问题，切勿用"<span word="It">It</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="secret">secret</span>, <span word="don">don</span>'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="ask">ask</span> <span word="such">such</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="personal">personal</span> <span word="question">question</span>."回答，一来显得你没有个性，二来也让对方觉得你气短。你可以说"<span word="I">I</span> <span word="would">would</span> <span word="rather">rather</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="say">say</span>."(还是别说了吧)。</p><p>6.<span word="It">It</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="tip">tip</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="tongue">tongue</span>。</p><p>有时候，你想说什么，可是想不起来，你可以说"<span word="Well">Well</span>…"、"<span word="Let">Let</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="see">see</span>."、"<span word="Just">Just</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="moment">moment</span>."或"<span word="It">It</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="tip">tip</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="tongue">tongue</span>."等。相比之下，最后一个句型是最地道的。</p>
