告别“how to say”的年代
<p>告别“<span word="how">how</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="say">say</span>”的年代</p><p>英语角上最常听到的一句话恐怕就是“<span word="How">How</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="say">say</span>?”了。每次不知道该说什么时，总会用“<span word="How">How</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="say">say</span>?”来打马虎眼。但事实上，尽管“<span word="How">How</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="say">say</span>?”在语法上是正确的一句话，英美人却是从来不这么说的。那么，当找不到合适的词时，他们都会怎么说呢？ 1. <span word="How">How</span> <span word="do">do</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="put">put</span> <span word="it">it</span>? / <span word="What">What</span> <span word="should">should</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="say">say</span>? 这是最常用的两句了。简单明了，通俗易懂哦！ 2. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="don">don</span>'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="know">know</span> <span word="what">what</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="say">say</span>. 过于激动、气愤、恼怒、悲伤或者高兴的时候，总会一时语塞、说不出话来。这时，你就可以说"<span word="I">I</span> <span word="don">don</span>'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="know">know</span> <span word="what">what</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="say">say</span>!"。比如： <span word="You">You</span> <span word="say">say</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="spent">spent</span> $100 <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="car">car</span>! <span word="I">I</span> <span word="don">don</span>'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="know">know</span> <span word="what">what</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="say">say</span>! <span word="I">I</span> <span word="can">can</span>'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="believe">believe</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="did">did</span> <span word="that">that</span>! !<span word="B">B</span>: <span word="Well">Well</span>, <span word="that">that</span> <span word="sounds">sounds</span> <span word="quite">quite</span> <span word="new">new</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="me">me</span>. <span word="Do">Do</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="mean">mean</span> <span word="evening">evening</span> <span word="schools">schools</span>, <span word="or">or</span> <span word="something">something</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="sort">sort</span>? <span word="B">B</span> 实在不知道<span word="permanent">permanent</span> <span word="education">education</span>是怎么回事，于是就用<span word="and">and</span> ... <span word="and">and</span> <span word="something">something</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="sort">sort</span>?来代替了。 类似的说法还有<span word="something">something</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="that">that</span>，<span word="something">something</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="kind">kind</span>，<span word="or">or</span> <span word="something">something</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="other">other</span>，<span word="or">or</span> <span word="whatever">whatever</span> (<span word="you">you</span> <span word="call">call</span> <span word="it">it</span>)。 4. <span word="a">a</span> <span word="sort">sort</span> <span word="of">of</span> ..., <span word="you">you</span> <span word="know">know</span>.</p><p>这个<span word="a">a</span> <span word="sort">sort</span> <span word="of">of</span>..., <span word="you">you</span> <span word="know">know</span> 最适合想了半天却什么也没想出来的场合，让对方从你说话的<span word="context">context</span>中去判断你要表达的意思。例如： <span word="This">This</span> <span word="man">man</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="so">so</span> <span word="unpopular">unpopular</span> <span word="here">here</span>. <span word="He">He</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="just">just</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="sort">sort</span> <span word="of">of</span> ..., <span word="you">you</span> <span word="know">know</span>.</p><p>这个人在这儿可不怎么受欢迎。他有点……，你知道。 5. <span word="You">You</span> <span word="know">know</span> <span word="what">what</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="mean">mean</span>. 前面说一大通，最后不知道怎么总结，便可以用<span word="You">You</span> <span word="know">know</span> <span word="what">what</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="mean">mean</span>. 来“偷懒”喽! 例如： <span word="To">To</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="honest">honest</span>, <span word="this">this</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="difficult">difficult</span>. <span word="You">You</span> <span word="know">know</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="application">application</span> <span word="form">form</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="read">read</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="just">just</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="but">but</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="least">least</span> <span word="three">three</span> <span word="members">members</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="academic">academic</span> <span word="council">council</span>, <span word="and">and</span> <span word="it">it</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="no">no</span> <span word="easy">easy</span> <span word="matter">matter</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="us">us</span> <span word="agree">agree</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="thing">thing</span>... <span word="you">you</span> <span word="know">know</span> <span word="what">what</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="mean">mean</span>.</p>
