某次和外国友人聊天,自认为挺嗨的
因为我们聊到最后,他跟我说了一句
maybe we should hang out sometime
回去之后,我还跟盆友炫耀
结果,盆友说别人只是客套
果然在那之后,人家没找我
英语有一些委婉表达,容易让人会错意
如果不想白高兴一场,快听节目学习吧
笔记:
Do you wanna/Maybe we should hang out some time? 有的时候是真心的邀请,有的时候只是说再见的一种方式。视情况氛围来定。
只是用来说再见
“It was really good talking with you.”
跟你聊得挺开心的。
“Yeah. That was great. Yeah, so (um) (you know) yeah maybe we should hang out some time.”
是啊。额,那什么,改天什么时候再聚呗。
“Yeah, that’d be great.” 行。
“All right. So take care.” 嗯。那,当心~
“Okay. Bye.” 好的,拜。
真诚邀请
“So it was really great talking with you.” 跟你聊得很开心~
“Yeah. That was really cool (you know).” 嗯嗯,糙开熏的!
“Yeah absolutely.” 23333
“maybe we should hang out some time, (you know), have dinner, get coffee or something”
下次再一起出来聚聚呗,吃个饭喝个咖啡啥的。
“That would be great.”
太好了。
“What about weekend? Are you free this weekend?”
周末怎么样?这个周末你有空吗?
“yeah, I guess so. I don’t have any plans.”
嗯嗯,应该有的。我周末没有什么安排。
“OK, we’ll follow up then.”好的,那到时候再联系。
“OK, take care”好的,回家当心~
“bye” 拜拜
(看对话长短就知道是不是真心的了)
Let’s get together soon.下次再聚。 并不一定表示尽快,也有可能是客套。
J: I’d really love to continue this conversation, but I really need to go now. I have to get back to the office.
我很想跟你继续聊下去,但是我真的得走了。我得回办公室了。
C: OK, well, let’s get together soon.
好的吧,下次再聚。
J: alright, bye!
好的,拜拜。
真正的尽快,越快越好我们用as soon as it can be, at the earliest opportunity, as soon as possible(简写ASAP)来表示。
good is not as a praise, it actually means acceptable 虽然中文把good翻译成“好”,但它在英文并不是赞扬,而表示一般般,尚可接受。
Your reason for being late to work soundsgood to me.
你这迟到的理由听起来还可以接受。
civility(礼貌)是现代文明的重要标志
为了避免尴尬发生,补充一些委婉表达
首先委婉表达的英文是什么?
soft expressions或者可以说
euphemisms['ju:fəmɪzəmz]
现在我们正式开始介绍:
economical withthe truth=lie 说谎
Some politicians are economical with the truth.
有些政治家说话不诚实,有的真相他们没有透露
(节约真相,就是没有完全坦诚,可不就是说谎啦~)
the ladies’ room/the little boys room=toilet 厕所
就是男生女生的房间,直说厕所多尴尬啊~
between jobs/laid off=unemployed
(我没有失业,只是处在两份工作的交接期)
mentally/physically challenged=disabled
They are very able,just challenged by their condition.
(他们不是什么都不能做,只是被自己身体上的缺陷限制住了)
full-figured/let himself go=fat
(她并不是胖,只是吃饭吃太饱了!)
(他不是胖,他只是对身材佛系了!)
previously enjoyed=used/second handed
The car is priviously enjoyed.Now it’s your turn to enjoy it.
(现在轮到你来享受啦~)
put an animal down/to sleep=kill an ill animal
My dog got real sick and they had ot put him down.
(狗狗只是去了天堂,那里没有病痛!)
好啦,今天的内容就到这里了
希望大家被喜欢的人真诚地约~
