小升初英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ):關(guān)于他人外表不該說(shuō)的話!
時(shí)間:2017-12-08 09:36:00 來(lái)源:無(wú)憂考網(wǎng) [字體:小 中 大]Dont say: ;You look tired.;
Why: It implies she doesnt look good.
Instead say: ;Is everything OK?; We often blurt the ;tired; comment when we get the sense that the other person feels out of sorts. So just ask.
不要說(shuō);You look tired.;(你看上去很累。),這句話暗示了她看上去狀況不佳。我們可以說(shuō);Is everything OK?;(你一切還好嗎?)我們會(huì)脫口而出;tired;這個(gè)詞是因?yàn)楦杏X到對(duì)方有些消沉,所以直接問(wèn)原因吧。
*out of sorts 身體不適,心情不佳
Dont say: ;Wow, youve lost a ton of weight!;
Why: To a newly trim person, it might give the impression that she used to look unattractive.
Instead say: ;You look fantastic.; And leave it at that. If youre curious about how she got so svelte, add, ;Whats your secret?;
不要說(shuō);Wow, youve lost a ton of weight!;(哇塞,你減掉了N多斤啊!),對(duì)一個(gè)剛恢復(fù)苗條的人來(lái)說(shuō),這句話給她的感覺是自己從前看上去很糟糕。我們可以說(shuō);You look fantastic.;(你看上去真棒。),并且就此打住。如果你想知道她是如何變苗條的,那就加上一句;Whats your secret?;(有啥秘訣呀?)
Dont say: ;You look good for your age.;
Why: Anything with a caveat like this is rude. Its saying, ;You look great―compared with other old people. Its amazing you have all your own teeth.;
Instead say: ;You look great.;
不要說(shuō);You look good for your age.;(以你的年紀(jì)來(lái)說(shuō),你看上不錯(cuò)啊。)任何像這樣帶有告誡意味的話語(yǔ)都是粗魯?shù)摹_@就是在說(shuō):跟其他老家伙比起來(lái),你看上去不錯(cuò)。你那口牙竟然一顆沒(méi)掉,太令人驚訝了。我們應(yīng)該直接說(shuō);You look great.;(你看上去很棒。)
Dont say: ;I could never wear that.;
Why: It can be misunderstood as a criticism. (;I could never wear that because its so ugly.;)
Instead say: ;You look so good in skinny jeans.; If you slip, say something like ;I could never wear that...because I wasnt blessed with your long legs.;
不要說(shuō);I could never wear that.;(我是穿不了那褲子。)這話可以被誤解為批評(píng):那褲子太丑了,我才不要穿。我們應(yīng)該說(shuō);You look so good in skinny jeans.;(你穿緊身牛仔褲很漂亮。)假如你不小心說(shuō)漏了嘴,那就這么圓回來(lái);I could never wear that...because I wasnt blessed with your long legs.;(我是穿不了那褲子……因?yàn)槲覜](méi)你那樣修長(zhǎng)的腿哎。)
