英国首相卡梅伦访问中国后开通了微薄,网友们对他进行了千奇百怪的提问。面对诸如“麻烦催一下神探夏洛克好吗?”这样的神提问他也
不含糊,风趣回答说:“我尽最大努力告诉他们中国粉丝希望看到更多夏洛克剧集。”这就是英国人的幽默,由于文化环境不同,思维逻辑的差异,英国人有很多最常用的英语口语是与我们的理解有出入,有些与美式英语也不尽相同。下面罗列10句英国人最常用的英语口语,纠正大家之前错误的用法,帮助各位迅速学会最地道的英语!1、“can i get a…”正确英式表达:please can i have/
i’d like to order the…2、“least worst option”正确英式表达:the lesser of two evils/the better of the twoeg:i think going with him is the better of two evils/is the better of the two options.3、”two-time” and “three-time”正确英式表达:double,triple,quadruple,quintupleeg:a double occurrence (not a two-time occurrence)4、24/7正确英式表达:all the time/constantly.eg:he plays video game the whole time/he constantly plays video games. (不要:he plays video games 24/7!)5、“deplane”正确英式表达:“deplane”这个词英国人全然不用,连我也只能猜出是什么意思!正确的词: disembark, get off the plane.6、“wait on”正确英式表达:wait on = wait for. wait for train, not wait on a train.7、“it is what it is”正确英式表达:不如说:that’s just what’s happened. that’s just how it’s turned out.eg:we tried everything to make the situation easier, but that’s just how it’s turned out.8、“fanny pack”正确英式表达:fanny pack = bum bag. 美语中的fanny是屁股的意思,但英式英语中fanny的意思就指女人的生殖器,慎用!
but fanny packs/bum bags aren’t really around anymore, they’re not considered to be cool!9、 “touch base”正确英式表达:touch base = 意思不大清楚,get in touch/get in contact/make contact with
s.o 都更好点。10、“physicality”正确英式表达: physicality是泛指物质的physical state/condition. use “physical”state instead!eg:you will be able to disembark the plane shortly/ you’ll be able to get off the plane shortly.看了上面这些英国人地道的常用的英语口语是不是觉得自己原先的用法都错误了?其实想要学会常用的英语口语最好还是找个老外教学,有兴趣的话可以去一线口语看看,那里的外教老师都是来自以英语为母语的国家,可以教导你纯正的英语以及了解外国人与我们不同的思维,更容易理解他们的文化风俗,这样才能更好更有效地学习地道的英语。还很值得推荐的是一线口语的学习方式也很轻松,外教每天会通过电话进行授课,只要你有部电话,随时随地都能上英语课。每天有个老外陪着你讲英文,不但听力能力,口语能力也能飞速提高。很多人在那里学习后,短短一个月左右,都基本上可以从原来不敢开口说英语的状态变成可以和老外进行日常交流。现在那里网还有各类免费实用的英语水平测试和免费的试听课程,可以先体验一下:http://www.e2say.com/文章源自:http://www.e2say.com/blog/post/4300.html
