文档介绍：常见****惯用语(一) 知识概要由于英语国家的语言****惯与中国的语言****惯有许多不同之处, 所以造成了许多同学在做选择或书写, 或与人交谈中造成误用中国方式来对英语的问句作解答。例如一个小女孩十分好看, 可爱, 外国人见到时会讲: You are so beautiful 这时的答语应该是 Thank you 如果外国人发现你的英语不错, 他们会讲: Your English is very good 这时中国人常常会说:不, 我说的不好。这纯是一种礼貌的答语, 但是不符合英语****惯。它正确的答语应是 Thank you 虽然交际英语有一些规律可讲, 但更重要的是学****外国的生活****惯, 了解他们的文化背景,历史渊源,这样才能真正的学好一门外语。(二) 正误辨析[误] - What can I do for you? - Yes , please help me [正] - What can I do for you? - I'd like to buy a sweater [析] What can I do for you? 这一问语实际上用于的情景很多,要根据具体情况而定。如在商店中售货员讲这句话应译为: 您想要点什么? 在其他场合也可以被译为: 我能为您做些什么? 它的答语应是直接讲出想让对方提供的帮助。[误] - Which colour do you like? - Sorry , I don't like [正] - Which colour do you like? -I prefer blue [析] 由 which 来提问的问句是要回答具体的选择,而不能泛指, 泛泛的回答。如 Yes , I like it [误] Do you like e with us tonight? [正] Would you like e with us tonight? [析] Do you like …问的是对方的****惯,如: Do you like swimming? Do you like collecting stamps? 而 would you like …则是一次性的邀请、提议。邀请的英语表达法还有如下几种: Shall we go? 我们走吧! Let's go? 让我们走吧! How about having a cup of tea? 喝杯茶如何? What about a cup of coffee 喝杯咖啡如何? Why not buy it? 为什么不买呢? 其肯定答语一般为 Certainly , Yes , O .K. All right , With pleasure [误] Sorry , I've kept you waiting Not at all [正] Sorry , I've kept you waiting Never mind [析] " 介意不介意" 这一问法与答语在中英文中有所不同。如: - Do you mind my smoking here? - _________ A. Yes , do it please B. No , of course not C. Yes , take it please D. No , you can't take it 这时正确的选择应是 B。其意为:不介意,当然不。而 A 选项则自相矛盾了,它应译为:是的我介意,请抽吧。而 D 选项是:不介意, 你不能抽。当向对方争求意见时,可以有以下问法: Do you mind ifI open the door? Would you mind mailing the letter for me 其答语如果是同意应为: Certainly not , not at all 而不同意时应为 Yes ,或 I'm sorry [误] What's that man? He is Mike [正] What's that man? He isa teacher [正] Who's that man? He is Mike (He is Mike's father ) [析]由 what 提问是问的职业,由 who 提问问的是姓名或身份。[误] - How much are they? - Half a kilo , please [正] - How many bananas do you want? - Half a kilo Please [析] How much are they? 问的是价格而不是实际物品的多少。[误] I'm sorry , but is this the way to the park? [正] Excuse me , but is this the way to the park? [析] I
