1、你是做什麽工作的呢?
What's your job?✖
Are you working at the moment?✔
What's your job?這種英語說法難(nán)道也有毛病嗎(ma)?
是的!因爲如果您的談話對(duì)象剛(gāng)剛(gāng)失業,如此直接的問法會讓對(duì)方有失面子。
所以你要問:
目前您是在上班嗎?
Are you working at the moment?
接下來才問:
目前您在哪兒工作呢?
Where are you working these days?
或者
您從事哪個行業呢?
What line of work are you in?
2、這個(gè)價格對(duì)我挺合适的。
The price is very suitable for me.✖
The price is right.✔
Suitable(合适的、相配的)最常見(jiàn)的用法是以否定的形式出現(xiàn)在告示或通知上。
如:
下列節目兒童不宜。
The following programme is not suitable for children.
3、我沒有英文名。
I haven’t English name.✖
I don’t have an English name.✔
have在這裏是實義動詞,而並(bìng)不是在現在完成時裏面那個沒有意義的助動詞。所以,這句話由肯定句變(biàn)成否定句要加助動詞。
同樣的句式:
我沒有錢
I don't have any money.
我沒有兄弟姐妹
I don't have any brothers or sisters.
我沒有車
I don't have a car.
4、我的舞也跳得不好。
I don't dance well too.✖
I am not a very good dancer either.✔
當(dāng)我們說不擅長(zhǎng)做什麽事情的時候,英語裏面通常用not good at something, 甚至英語的思維直接跳躍到:我不是一個好的舞者。
5、價錢很昂貴/便宜。
The price is too expensive/cheap.✖
The price is too high/ rather low.✔
隻有東(dōng)西昂貴還是便宜,所以主語是事物,或用代詞(cí),可以說 It is too expensive / cheap. 價格做主語,後面隻能用高或低。
