Okay, our next expression: "I would argue that..." so again, we have "that", no comma.
好了,我们的下一个短语是"I would argue that...",同样的,这里有"that",所以不加逗号。
"I would argue that the death penalty is not a good form of punishment."
"I would argue that the death penalty is not a good form of punishment."(我认为死刑不是一种好的惩罚形式。)
Often times, the TOEFL may ask you if you agree or disagree with the death penalty.
托福考试中经常会出题问你是否赞同执行死刑。
You could use: "I would argue that the death penalty is the best way to deal with criminals."
你们可以说:"I would argue that the death penalty is the best way to deal with criminals."(我认为死刑是对付罪犯最好的方式。)
So it all depends on your opinion, but you can either agree or disagree with this statement.
这都取决于你们自己的观点,但是你们只能要么赞同这个观点,要么不赞同。
Another way to say "I think...": "From my point of view," or "From my perspective," Okay?
另一种说"I think..."的方式是"From my point of view,"或者"From my perspective,"。
Notice we have a comma for both of these.
注意了,这两个短语中都加了逗号。
"From my point of view," okay, so now I'm not going to use an IELTS or TOEFL example, I'm going to use a superhero example.
"From my point of view," 怎么用呢,现在我不用雅思或托福考试的例子了,我要用一个超级英雄的例子。
"From my point of view, Cyclops is a horrible superhero."
"From my point of view, Cyclops is a horrible superhero."(在我看来,独眼巨人是个可怕的超级英雄。)
So again, just for anyone who likes to argue, this is a good one to use.
同样的,对喜欢争论的人来说,这是个很好的例子。
The last one is a very high formal way of saying your opinion: "I am inclined to believe that..."
最后一个短语是个表达观点非常正式的用法:"I am inclined to believe that..."。
So you wouldn't use this with your friends,
在朋友之间你不会用这个短语,
if you have an argument with your friends, maybe you're talking about the best place to live in the world or the best place to travel to,
如果你和朋友产生了争论,也许你们在讨论世界上最适宜居住的地方,或者旅行的最佳地点,
if you said: "I'm inclined to believe that France is a great place to visit." your friends would find your language too formal.
如果你说"I'm inclined to believe that France is a great place to visit."(本人窃以为前往法国旅行甚好。)你的朋友会觉得你的措辞太正式了。
But you can use this in writing, in formal writing, if you're writing the TOEFL or the IELTS, you can use this expression.
但是在写作中,在正式文体中可以用这个短语,如果你们在写托福或雅思作文,可以使用这个短语。
And again, at the end we have "that", we don't have a comma. Okay?
还是一样,在短语末尾有"that",所以不加逗号,知道了吗?
So be aware that if you use any of these expressions with "that",
要知道,如果你们使用的是这些短语中带"that"的,
when you write them you do not need a comma, whereas for the other ones that don't have "that",
那么写它们的时候就不需要加逗号,但是如果是其他没有"that"的短语,
use a comma and then write if you agree, or disagree, or what you think.
要加上逗号,然后再写出自己赞同或不赞同,或者你们自己的想法。
