今天来为大家讲几个口语中常犯的错误,在外国人眼中显得非常Chinglish。看看你中枪了几个!
现在几点了?
≠ What time is it, now?
=What time is it?
在问别人时间的时候,我们不可能问“昨天几点了”或是“一小时之前几点了”。所以,去强调now在外国人看来很没必要
你能给我菜单吗?
≠Can you give me the menu?
=May I have the menu?
外国人在向别人询问或索要东西时会比较礼貌,Can you give me 会略显生硬,他们更习惯说,“ May I have...? ”
再比如,问别人名字时用“May I have your name?”就比直接问“What's your name?”要礼貌客气得多。
你知道他在哪吗?
≠Do you know where's he?
=Do you know where he is?
间接疑问句要用陈!述!语!序!再举个例子大家感受一下:
直接疑问句:
What should I do?
间接疑问句:
Can you tell me what I should do?
你明天时间方便吗?
≠Is tomorrow OK for you?
=Is tomorrow OK with you?
OK for you 意思等同于 good for you,表示对某人有好处。with you则表示“对于你而言”
比如老板批复邮件时经常说:OK with me. 表示我同意(对于我是没问题的)
