在正式的场合需要使用正式的表达方式，表达敬意和严谨；在非正式场合使用非正式的表达方式，拉近彼此之间的距离，提高谈话的弹性和舒适性，以下列举常见的正式表达方式与对应的非正式表达方式。 1. 你好吗？ How do you do? >>——-<< What’s up? 解析：What's up 的发音还可以是 wassup 或 whaddup，在非正式场合中，”What's up“ 是一个非常随便的问候语，表面上译为”怎么了或发生什么事了“，实际上不涉及对某些事的具体更新信息，相当于 what is the matter 或 what is happening，例如： 'What's up?', I said to him. —'Nothing much,' he answered. “怎么了？”，我对他说。 —没什么，他回答。 2. 很高兴见到你 It is a pleasure to meet you >>——<< Nice to meet you 3. 在你方便的时候尽早 At your earliest convenience >>——<< As soon as you can 4. 担心你，关心你 Concerned about you >>——<< Worried about you 5. 首先 Firstly, >>——<< To start with/…, For a start 6. 代我向…问好 Give my regards to >>——<< Say hello to 7. 你最近有她的消息吗？ Have you heard from her lately? >>——<< Heard from her lately? 8. 你看到过汤姆吗？ Have you seen Tom? >>——<< Seen Tom? 9. 我同意安娜…的看法/安娜是正确的 I agree with my colleague, Anna, that… >>——<< Anna’s right. 10. 我想提醒你的是… I would like to remind you that… >>——<< Don’t forget 11. 非常感谢 I appreciate your assistance! >>——<< Thanks a lot! 12. 由于… In light of the fact that >>——<< Because 13. 我认为… It is my opinion that… >>——<< I think… 14. 我需要做… It is necessary for me to… >>——<< I need to… 15. 你不必… It is not necessary for you to… >>——<< You don’t hafta (不得不，只好)… 16. 我们建议… It is recommended >>——<< We recommend 17. 很抱歉，…/因…，很抱歉 Please accept our apologies for… >>——<< Sorry… 18. 而且，此外 Secondly/ Besides/ Furthermore, >>——<< Another good thing is/ What’s more/ Not only that, 19. 最后 Lastly, >>——<< And one of the best things is…/ And best of all, / The most important thing is… 20. 她能… She has the ability >>——<< She can 21. 该计划已付诸实践 The plan was implemented / carried out >>——<< They put the plan into action 22. 我们的目的地 Our destination >>——<< The place where we want to go 23. 我很抱歉地通知你… I regret to inform you of… >>——<< I’m sorry to tell you that… 24. 你能… I was hoping that you could… >>——<< Could you…? 25. 不成问题 It will cease to be a problem >>——<< It won’t be a problem anymore 26. 人们开始厌倦这些事。 One grows weary in these matters. >>——<< I’m getting tired of this junk. 27. 问题似乎已经解决。 This appeared to rectify the problem >>——<< This seemed to fix the problem 28. 你的到来 Your arrival >>——<< When you get here, 29. 我能帮你做什么？ Please state your business >>——<< Can I help you? 30. 你还（没）… We note that you have not… >>——<< You haven’t… 31. 请尽快回复 I would be grateful if you could reply early. >>——<< Please get back to me ASAP (as soon as possible). 32. 你能帮我… I’d really appreciate it if you could… >>——<< Could you…? 33. 我想（做）… We would like to >>——<< We want to 34. 我可以（做）… Would you like me to…? >>——<< Shall I…? 35. 考虑… To consider >>——<< To think about 36. 这表明… This demonstrates… >>——<< This shows that … 37. 区分… To distinguish >>——<< To tell the difference 38. 我们收到… We are in receipt of >>——<< We’ve received 39. 你应该修改… Revision should be done >>——<< You should revise 40. 对你有好处 This will be of great benefit to you >>——<< It will do you good 41. 进展如何 How are you doing? >>——<< What’s going on? 42. 告诉你… I am writing to inform you… >>——<< Just a note to say… 43. 抱歉，我不能参加。 I am afraid I will not be able to attend >>——<< Sorry, I can’t make it. 44. 实验已经施行 The experiment was carried out/ performed >>——<< They did the experiment 45. 谢谢你3月10日的邮件 Thank you for your email of the 10 of March >>——<< Thanks for your mail on 10 Mar 46. 你需要什么？ Please let us know of your requirements >>——<< What do you need? 47. 人们使用了大量… People consume a tremendous amount of… >>——<< People use a huge amount of 48. 有空的时候，我们聚聚。 Please let me know when you will be available. >>——<< Let me know if we can get together. 49. 请尽快回信 I hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience >>——<< Write back soon! 50. 根据我们今天的电话谈话 As per our telephone conversation on today’s date >>——<< As we discussed this morning 51. 如果你能参加这个活动，我们倍感荣幸 We would be honored if you would attend this event >>——<< It would be great if you could attend this event. 52. 我能帮助你解决问题。 We can assist in the resolution of this matter. >>——<< I can help you to solve this problem. 53. 你的孩子在制造麻烦 I am afraid your child is experiencing difficulty >>——<< Your kid is making trouble 54. 期待下周见到你。 I look forward to meeting you next week. >>——<< See you next week. |
