注重的英语表达
嘿,老兄,我最近在一个英语角帮忙,那真是个热闹的地方,老外一堆,大家交流得挺high的。我记得有一次,一个外国小哥问我:“How do you like the food here?” 我当时心里想,这简单啊,我就说:“It's fantastic! I've been to many places, but this one is a real treat, especially the spicy Sichuan dishes. Last year, I had a big feast with my friends in Chengdu. We had a table of ten and we devoured about a thousand spicy dishes in one evening!” 他们听完后都惊呆了,哈哈。
对了,说起表达,有一次我帮一个朋友改写一段简历,他本来写的是:“I have a strong work ethic.” 我说,这样太普通了,咱们得来点特别的。我改成了:“My work ethic is so fierce, it could single-handedly bring a dead computer back to life!” 他看后乐坏了,觉得这样更生动。
还有一次,我教一个学生如何描述自己的兴趣爱好。他说他喜欢打篮球。我就教他这样表达:“I'm a basketball enthusiast, the kind of guy who can shoot three-pointers while skydiving!” 这样是不是更有范儿?
当然了,有时候我也觉得自己英语表达能力还不够好。比如有一次我参加一个国际会议,轮到我发言,我紧张得忘了用词,只能说:“Well, this is a bit difficult for me to express in English. Let me see...” 真是尴尬。
,扯远了,总之就是,注重英语表达真的很重要,有时候一个小技巧就能让你的表达更加出彩。不过,别忘了,最重要的还是多练习,多在实际场合中去运用。
