40 句地道美语口语
40 句地道美语口语1. It’s not like that. 不是那样的。
It’s not like that.这句话是用来辟谣的。
当别人误会了一件事的来龙去脉,你就可以跟他说It’s not like that.“不是那样的。
”当然随着语气及情境的不同,It’s not like that.这句话也有可能是你用来硬拗的藉口。
2. There is nothing good playing. 没好电影可看。
这里的There’s nothing good playing.是接着问句而来的,指的是“没有好电影可看。
”同样的,若是电视上没有好节目可看,你就可以说There’s nothing good on TV.3. I’ve gotten carried away. 我扯太远了。
get carried away 字面上的意思是“被带走了”,那么被带走的是什么呢?就是心思。
当你或是他人说话的时候离了题,偏离主旨扯远了。
你就可以用上这个表达法You’ve gotten carried away.4. Good thing... 还好,幸好…在美语当中若要表达中文里“还好,幸好…”的语气,你就可以用Good thing...做开头。
这个句型非常简单又好用,你只要在Good thing 后面加上完整的句子就可以。
5. I don’t believe you’re bringing this up. 你现在提这件事真是岂有此理。
bring something up 是指“提到(某件事)”。
当然情况会有正反两面。
你若没想到对方会提起这件事讨骂,你可以说I don’t believe you’re bringing this up.而反过来说,若你很高兴对方主动提起了一件事,你也可以用这个片语自然说出I am glad you are bringing this up.6. spy on... 跟监(某人)spy 这个字就是“间谍”。

地道生活美语
1. That's cool!很好, 很棒!Cool 这个字在英文里的意思就是「很好, 很棒」的意思. 不管在任何时候我们要对其它人表现赞同时我们都可以说"That's cool!" 或是单说, "Cool!" 例如别人说, "I'm going to graduate this year." (我今年要毕业了.) 这时你就可以赶紧接一句, "That's cool!" 又或是别人说, "We're going to win the championship this year." (我们今年要拿冠军了.) 你还是可以说, "That's cool!" 总之我们可以用"That's cool." 或是"Cool." 这句话来表示出对别人的认同. 不过要注意一点, cool 在美语里跟中文里形容一个人很酷的那个酷是不一样的(虽然它们的发音正好一样). 所以当你说, "He is a cool guy." 时, 说的其实不是这个人很「酷」, 而是说这个人「很好、很棒」.另外老美也常常会问我, "Are you cool with that?" 意思就是, 「你觉得这样子作好不好?」例如今天我朋友跟我约好一个时间, 但他临时有事, 必须晚到一个小时, 这时候他就可以问我, "Are you cool with that?" (你觉得这样好吗?) 来徵求我的认同.2. Neat!真是不简单!Neat 这个字不论在用法上和程度上和cool 这个字可以说是差不多的, 同样都是表现出对别人的一种肯定和认同. 例如今天我说"I've taken piano lessens for ten years." (我已经学了十年的钢琴.) 这时候你就可以接, "Neat!" 或"Cool!" (真是不简单!) 来表示你的敬佩之意.另外, neat 和cool 也有「新奇」的意思. 当「新奇」解时这两个字常和stuff 这个字连用, 表示一些很新奇又很棒的事物. 例如你为了吸引别人的注意就可以说, "Check out those neat stuff!" (看看这些很棒的东西.) 这里用neat 来形容这件东西(stuff) 不但很新奇而且值得一看. 同样的你也可以说, cool stuff, 例如, "I've just bought some cool stuff." (我刚买了一些很棒的东西.)3. Good for you.真替你高兴.Good 的用法跟cool 很像, 同样都是用来认同或是肯定别人的行为或表现. 例如小孩子跟妈妈说, "I've done my homework." 妈妈这时候就可以跟小孩子说, "Good. Now you can go and play." (很好, 现在你可以出去玩了. ) 或是人家说, "I got an A in that course." (我在那门课里拿了一个 A.) 你就可以表扬她说"That's good." 另外有时候我们跟好朋友之间还可以用, "Good for you." 或是"Good to hear." 来替对方加加油, 打打气. 例如好友对你说, "I'm getting married this month." 你就可以说, "Good for you." 或是"Good to hear."Good 在朋友间相互嘘寒问暖时也很好用. 例如当你走在路上遇到了朋友, 他对你打招呼, "Hi! How're you doing?", 如果你不希望在打完招呼後再聊上两句的话. 我们通常就回答, "Good." 或是"I'm good." 这样子别人就不会继续追问下去发生了什麽事. 当然啦, 如果是你希望别人关心你两句的话, 你就回答, "Bad." 或是"Not very good." 这样子别人就会关心你一下的.4. That's great!真的是很棒!Great 在口语之中通常不作它原来的意思「伟大」解. 平常老美用到great 这个字时, 其实指的就是「很好、很棒」. 但great在程度上比good 还高一级. 所以善用good 和great 的区别就可以表现出你的认同对方的程度. 比方说吧, 如果今天是个普通的好友拿了一个A, 你可以说, "That's good." 就差不多了, 但如果是自己很要好的朋友拿了一个A, 那就不妨说声, "That's great." 这样表现出来的诚意会比较多一点. 当然, 别人跟你问好时回答, "I'm great." 也是不错的选择. 通常我们心情平平时说, "I'm good." 就可以了, 但如果是心情比较好时, 就不妨说, "I'm great."。
