大家都知道，英文对话是学习英文的极好材料，尤其是地道的生活对话。不过呢，学习对话的方式却要留意。 英文对话的常见学习法是：练习纯熟，再找个partner来演练一下，感觉很流畅。OK，搞定！ 但这样真的搞定了吗？ 关于这一点，Jessie老师最喜欢的笑话是这样说的：背了几百个对话，感觉口语很流利了，一出国发现一个重大问题：我流利地说出了A说的话，可是，为什么对方不说B说的话？还能好好说话吗？这对话，我没法接！ 一笑之后，让我们来看看英文对话到底要怎样学。其实，语言就是用来交流的，如何能听懂对方的话并流畅地表达自我是交流的关键。想要做到自如，就一定要掌握足够多的英文单词、短语、成语和句子表达。因此，在我们看到一则英文对话，或者在美片美剧中听到一段英文对话后，不需要照搬对话原封不动地背下来，而是在习练后要总结出对话中的有用表达，彻底掌握，日积月累，很快就可以随时自如表达了！ 今天我们就来学习这一段对话带给我们的财富吧！ A: I've just popped in to thank you very much for organizing last weekend's trip to the seaside for the old folk. B: That's very kind of you. They all seemed to enjoy it. A: They certainly did. Everything went like clockwork, in fact I don't think you could have done it better. B: I'm not sure about that, there were one or two things that could have been improved. A: In a perfect world perhaps, but as far as I'm concerned it was a great success. So thank you again. 我们可以掌握到的实用表达有： pop in 短暂/快速/随意地拜访 （这个短语真没几个人会用！） I just popped in to say hello. 我是来问个好的。 Hey, if you're free this Saturday, why don't you pop in for a visit? I'd love to show you the new stereo I bought. 嗨，如果你这周六有空，何不来我家作客呢？我想给你看看我新买的音响。 like clockwork 有规律地；顺利地 She arrives every Wednesday morning just like clockwork. 她每周三早上到达，很有规律。 The journey there went like clockwork. 去那儿的旅程非常顺利。 could have done 本有可能做到 （对过去发生的事情提出的可能性） You could have been a little bit more careful. 你本可以更小心点的。 I couldn’t have done all this without you. 如果没有你，我是做不到这一切的。 as far as I am concerned 就我而言 （用于发表自己的意见和看法） As far as I'm concerned, the issue is over and done with. 就我而言，这一问题已然结束。 As far as I’m concerned, he is the best singer this year. 就我而言，他是本年度最佳歌手。 Now it's your time to open your mouth and practice! 张开嘴巴练起来！ |
