常用交际英语口语

要想使自己的英语口语多姿多彩，魅力无穷，并能很快吸引对方，仅仅流利快速是不够的。许多英语专业毕业生在同外国人交流过程中，经常出现尴尬的场面，两个人都无法准确理解对方。中国学生语速倒是很快，但由于用词的不准确，表达方式的不贴切以及过分追求难词所造成的歧义都会使双方感到交流的不畅快，所以，外国人评价中国学生的口语是“Too strange to be true !”(太奇怪，不真实)或“Too beautiful to be natural!”（用词华丽但不自然）使言谈增色，就需要你灵活运用外国人经常使用的习惯说话，包括习语，不过时的俚语及大量的富有特色的语句。不要害怕模仿，只要运用得当，你尽可以引经据典，洋洋洒洒。当别人在你旁边罗嗦没完，你烦透了，说“You are so boring.”(你真烦！)。“Shut up!”（闭嘴！）自然没错，可人家受得了吗？不如来一句“Oh, come on .Give me a break !” (帮帮忙，让我歇歇吧！)这多地道、多幽默。要想说人“气色好”。“You look fine!”当然不错，可如果你说“Youre in the pink!”就妙得多了。实际上，在英语口语中，表示颜色的词用起来非常形象生动。“他精力充沛”美国人说：“He is bouncy.”而不说“He is energetic ”,牢记一些日常对话中的活句式是你一把必备的钥匙。如：久仰，“I get mind of you.”比“I heard a lot about you.”轻松得多。代问他人好当然能用”Please remember me to your sister .”或”Please give my best wishes to your father ”不过，若是很好的朋友，何不说，“Please give my love to Jim。”在中国可不能随便说“我想你”，然而，当和西方人分手时说“I will miss you.”要比说“Good-bye”或“See you soon”有趣得多，不妨一试。有人开会迟到了，你若对他说“You are late .”，听起来像是废话，若说“Did you get lost?”，则更能让他歉然，可别说成“Get lost!”那可是让人滚蛋的意思。别人征求你的意见，问能否开窗户等，你要说“You can do that .”就有点土了，用一句“Do you have the time? ”实际上，问他人的姓名，地址都可以这么用：“May I have you name?”要比“Whats your name ? ”礼貌得多，不过警察例外。别人问你不愿公开的问题，切勿用“Its my secret ,Dont ask such a personal question .”回答，一来显得你没有个性，二来也让对方尴尬。你可以说“I would rather not say .”（还是别说了吧！）。有时候，你想说什么，可说是想不起来，你可以说“Well ”“Let me see”，“Just a moment ”或“Its on the tip of my tongue.”等，想比之下，最后一个句型是最地道的。交谈时，你可能会转换话题，不要只说“By the way ”,实际上，“To change the subject”，“Before I forget”，“While I remember”，“Mind you ”都是既地道又受欢迎的表达。遇到你不懂的问题时可别不懂装懂，“I know”可能是中国人用得最多，而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一个美国教师向你解释某个问题时，你如果连说两遍“I know”可能是中国人用得最多，而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一个美国教师向你解释某个问题时，你如果连说两遍“I know”,我敢保证，他不会再跟你说什么了。用“I see ”或“I got it ”就顺耳得多，要是不懂就说“Im not clear about it .”不过如果你会说“Its past my understanding”或“Its beyond me.”你的教师定会惊讶不已的。常用交际英语口语1After you.你先请。这是一句很常用的客套话，在进/出门,上车得场合你都可以表现一下。2I just couldnt help it.我就是忍不住。这样一个漂亮的句子可用于多少个场合?下面是随意举的一个例子：I was deeply moved by the film and I cried and criedI just couldnt help it.3Dont take it to heart别往心里去，别为此而忧虑伤神。生活实例：This test isnt that importantDont take it to heart.4Wed better be off.我们该走了。Its getting lateWed better be off.5Lets face it面对现实吧。常表明说话人不愿意逃避困难的现状。I know its a difficult situationLets face it, OK?6Lets get started.咱们开始干吧。劝导别人时说：Dont just talkLets get started.7Im really dead.我真要累死了。坦诚自己的感受时说：After all that work, Im really dead.8Ive done my best.我已尽力了。9Is that so? 真是那样吗?常用在一个人听了一件事后表示惊讶、怀疑。10Dont play games with me! 别跟我耍花招!11I dont know for sure我不确切知道。Stranger：Could you tell me how to get to the town hall?Tom：I dont know for sureMaybe you could ask the policeman over there.12Im not going to kid you我不是跟你开玩笑的。Karin：You quit the job?
