% L7 R6 N( ]2 g" S& U2 A( ~7 q当别人在你旁边罗嗦个没完,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。8 }# C+ `7 W$ e* s8 u* W2 t
}- t: R ~0 w1 n要想说人“气色好”。“You look fine !”当然不错,可如果你说”You’re 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。- r9 m* l2 j: |- i* n4 Z B0 s6 Y

“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。
4 D: r/ y* I0 W5 a+ o: Y如:久仰,“I get mind of you “.比”I heard a lot about you.”轻松得多。

7 Y8 O3 M& Z9 t- I$ \6 o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。3 `( a- w9 \: [( I
% @' L0 S0 C5 q$ t1 Z3 e有人开会迟到了,你若对他说 “You are late .”,听起来象是废话,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”What’s 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“It’s my secret ,Don’t 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!)。

7 p' S) _5 ^8 c; f1 K- Z$ l* A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 ”都是既地道有受欢迎的表达。

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 know ”或“I got it ”就顺耳得多,要是不懂就说“I’m not clear about it .”不过如果你会说“It’s past my understanding”或“It’s beyond me .”你的教师定会惊讶不已的。

在同外国人士交往过程中,你要注意别人的外表是否有了大的变化或添了新的装饰,如新发型、新衣服、首饰等。然后加以适当的赞美,但无须过分,否则就有虚情假意之嫌.即便是对方外观没有大的改观,但比平时略显精神,你也可以说,

5、无论别人怎样赞美你,你只要一句“Thanks a lot.”就足以达到交流的效果,无须中国式的谦虚,“No, No”,会让赞美你的人莫明其妙,甚至认为你怀疑他的审美观有问题。) z) E, @6 [. I' _
) x* j9 z1 h. c- g6、美国老师上课时大多慈悲为怀,只要学生开口,无论怎样信口开河或者牛头不对马嘴,老师都会说“Good job!”;“Very nice!”;“Ok, you have a creative answer”;“What an original opinion!”。这既能鼓励学生,又能激发学生参与的积极性。这可是中国老师不妨学学的地方。

7、在英美国家的各种聚会上,女士们常夸赞自己的丈夫有能力,夸赞自己的孩子如何聪明可爱;男士们也常夸赞自己的妻子温柔可人,夸赞自己的老板如何地重用自己,这既能活跃气氛,又能尽显自己人性美的一部分。若有机会你参加外国人的ball(舞会),你也不妨收起你的谦虚,将你的赞美适时适度地表达出来。9 I; e; N7 o5 C$ D; i
