词人柳永曾在《雨霖铃》中写道:“执手相看泪眼,竟无语凝噎。”若翻译成英文,此情此景岂一句“have nothing to say”能道尽,今天我们就来学习一下“无话可说,无言以对”的几种表达。

beabouttodo的经典语录(记住我竟无言以对)(1)

If you are speechless, you are temporarily unable to speak, usually because something has shocked you.

But I am speechless really.

可是我实在无话可说。

When you're very surprised or confused, sometimes you really don't know what to say.
