语言剖析
1. I like your suit!
I like your suit! 你的外套很漂亮!
夸赞别人的衣服好看还可以用This suit looks nice on you!What a great suit!但是I like your suit!更具有语言的艺术性,不仅夸这件西装很好看,还表达你你也很喜欢这个西装,得到别人的认可是一件很开心的事情。同样的当你你新认识了一个老外,很是幽默的时候,就不要总是用you are so humorous ,不痛不痒的话来形容啦!你可以说,You know,I really I like your humor!这样很容易拉近双方的距离,在轻松愉快的氛围中继续话题。
2.文化2:赞美
在美国,赞扬别人当天的穿着很常见。特别是女性更倾向于赞扬别人当天的穿着,但男士也会对女士的穿着加以赞赏,这样更容易得到她们的注意。赞扬别人的穿着是一件很礼貌的事,但如果背后议论别人或是批评别人却是非常不礼貌的。
3.I got it over the weekend.
I got it over the weekend. 我是上个周末买的。
over the weekend意思等同于last weekend,上个周末。
在这句话中I got it的意思是,I bought it,有买的意思。如果你到小E老师的线下课堂,有时候小E老师讲到一半会停下来问你,Get it?意思是听懂了吗?这个时候你可以回复I got it.我听懂啦!
4. Gray looks good on you
Gray looks good on you! 你穿灰色真的很好看!
- How do I look? 我(穿这件衣服)看起来怎么样?
- Wow,Elvin!You look great/nice.And pink looks good/nice on you!
5.They also give me two ties for free.
They also give me two ties for free. 他们还免费赠送了两根领带
'give',是“赠送”的意义,比如超市大甩卖的时候会有bogo的活动,意思是Buy one give one,买一赠一;It is really cheap and cheerful!真的是物美价廉呀!
I wanna check my tie. 我想去一下洗手间。
6.That's a great deal!
That's a great deal! 真的是太划算啦!
I bought two pairs of shoes for 30 RMB, what a great deal.
我30块钱买了两双鞋,真的是太划算啦!
I got a great deal when I bought my phone.
我在买这部手机的时候得到了很棒的优惠价!
