今天来为大家讲几个口语中常犯的错误,在外国人眼中显得非常Chinglish。看看你中枪了几个!
What time is it, now?
What time is it?
在问别人时间的时候,我们不可能问“昨天几点了”或是“一小时之前几点了”。所以,去强调
now
在外国人看来很
没必要
Can you give me the menu?
May I have the menu?
外国人在向别人询问或索要东西时会比较礼貌,
Can you give me 会略显生硬
,他们更习惯说,“ May I have...? ”
再比如,问别人名字时用“May I have your name?”就比直接问“What's your name?”要
礼貌客气
得多。
Do you know where's he?
Do you know where he is?
间接疑问句要用
陈!述!语!序!
再举个例子大家感受一下:
直接疑问句:
What should I do?
间接疑问句:
Can you tell me what I should do?
Is tomorrow OK for you?
Is tomorrow OK with you?
