1. Greeting Strangers 问候陌生人
【疯狂实战一】
A: Hi, there. My name‟s Paul Brown. I‟m from the United States.
（你好。我叫保罗·布朗。我来自美国。）
B: Nice to meet you, Paul. My name‟s Kelly Cook. You can call me Kelly. I‟m from
Canada.
（很高兴认识你, 保罗。我叫凯利·库克。你可以叫我凯利。我来自加拿大。）
A: Nice to meet you, too, Kelly. Canada is a beautiful country!
（认识你我也很高兴, 凯利。加拿大是一个美丽的国家。）
【疯狂评论】
千万不要小看上面这段简短的对话，不同的流利程度和不同的信心，说出来的感觉是完
全不一样的！就连美国本国人在和陌生人见面、求职面试或演讲之前都要反复操练！
【使用背景】
在酒吧，在沙滩，在聚会上结识新朋友，都可以使用上面的对话。如果去掉“there”，
就可以用在比较正规的场合。
初次问候常用短句
（1）Hi, there. 你好。
【Kim‟s Note】This is a very casual and common way to greet someone. However,
guys use this greeting to girls much more frequently than girls use it to guys. It is
a little bit flirtatious because it sounds as though someone has just caught your
eye for attention. But if you want to get a guy‟s attention, I highly recommend this
greeting!
这是非常随意且十分常见的问候他人的方式。然而小伙子用这句话来问候姑娘远多于姑
娘问候小伙子。因为这句话听起来好似某个人吸引了你的眼光，引起你的注意，所以有点调
情的味道。但是如果你想吸引一个小伙子的注意力，我强烈推荐你使用这个问候语。
（2）Nice to meet you. 很高兴认识你。

还可以说：I‟m glad/pleased to meet you. 或 Nice meeting you.
通常回答：Nice to meet you, too. （正式）
或 Same here. 我也是。（非正式）
【疯狂实战二】
A: I don’t think we’ve met before. My name‟s Sam.
（我们大概没见过吧。我叫山姆）
B: No, I don‟t think so either. Nice to meet you. I‟m Ann.
（我想我们没见过。很高兴认识你。我叫安。）
【疯狂实战三】
A: Hello! Are you a friend of Bill’s?
（你好！你是比尔的朋友吗？）
B: Yes. My name‟s Sally. And you are…
（是的。我叫莎利，你是„„）
A: I‟m his roommate, David. I’ve heard so much about you from Bill.
（我是他的室友，大卫。我经常听比尔提起你。）

【疯狂实战四】
A: Excuse me, but aren’t you the President of the United States?
（对不起，你一定是美国总统吧？）
B: As a matter of fact I am.
（是啊，我正是。）
【疯狂实战五】
A: Hi, beautiful day, isn’t it?
（嗨，天气很好，不是吗？）
B: It sure is.
（的确如此。）
【Kim‟s Note】 This is probably the most common greeting among strangers. Don‟t
let an opportunity to speak English pass you by because you don‟t know what to
say in response to this common greeting!
这句话可能是陌生人之间最常用的问候语。千万不要因为不知道怎样回答这个普通的问
候语而错失和外国朋友说英语的良机。
【疯狂小故事】
由于我们以前的中学课本上关于问候的用语只有 “How are you?” “Fine, thank you,
and you?”
“I‟m fine, too.”这个死板、老套、过时的范例，不少中国的英语学习者将这个
对话背得滚瓜烂熟之后，以为就可以顺利地与外国朋友开始谈话，结果难免发生一些笑话。
有一个中国学生在车站看到有一个外国朋友，心想这是一个难得的机会可以卖弄一下自己的
英语，于是在心里反复操练“How are you?” “Fine, thank you, and you?”
“I‟m fine, too.”
之后，做了个深呼吸，向外国朋友走去。“Beautiful day, isn‟t?”外国朋友先下“口”为
强。这下坏了，这个学生一下子傻了，他怎么不是问“How are you?”呢，他应该问“ How
are you?”才对啊，于是就在那里傻呆呆地不知如何回答了。殊不知谈论天气是一种常见
的问候方式，特别是在陌生人之间。学习了这本书之后，你绝对不会再闹出这种低级笑话。
无论外国朋友用哪种方式向你问好，你都可以应付自如了。
初次问候常用句型
（1）My name‟s…
我叫„„（名字）。
（2）I‟m from…
我来自„„（国家/城市）。
（3）Are you a friend of…?
你是„„的朋友吧？
（4）Excuse me, but aren‟t you…?
对不起，你一定是„„吧？
（5）I‟ve heard so much about you from…
我经常听„„提到你。
初次问候套话
（1）I don't think we’ve met before.
我们大概没见过吧。〖初次见面常用套话〗
【Stone‟s Note】
我可是十年前就学过“I don't think we‟ve ever met before.”，但令人遗憾的是，以
前见到外国人，我最多只能冒出非常尴尬的一个单词“Hi”或是“Hello”；直到最近，我才
有勇气用这个句子。原因很简单！第一，这个句子是现在完成时，相对比较难，我没有信心
在遇到外国朋友那紧张的时刻还能脱口而出！第二，中国人的传统向来是比较含蓄和“慢热”，
根本不习惯和陌生人交往！但是一旦下定决心将这个句子操练一百篇、一千篇，直到脱口而
出，其实也不过只是一句常用的问候语罢了，并没有想象中那么难，你同样可以自由地运用。

（2）I’ve heard so much about you.

我经常听到很多有关你的事。
【Kim‟s Note】Even if this isn‟t exactly true, it will make the person you meet feel
very special. Everyone likes to think they are well known, or popular. Just be
careful, in case the person quickly asks you what you‟ve heard. You can always
respond with a safe, but vague answer. For example:
就算这句话不太真实，也会让别人感觉很特别。每个人都喜欢认为自己很出名或是很受
欢迎。但是要小心，以防对方冷不丁地问你听到的是什么。你依然可以用一个安全而又含糊
的回答来应付。比如：
A: I‟ve heard so much about you.
（我经常听到很多有关你的事。）
B: Really? What have you heard?
（真的吗？你听说了什么？）
A: Oh, a lot of good things.
（哦，很多好事。）
（3）Hi, beautiful day, isn’t it?

嗨，天气很好，不是吗？
【Culture Note】
It is common to comment on the weather as a means of greeting people, for
example, „Beautiful day, isn‟t it?‟ But it is rare to simply make a plain descriptive
statement, such as „It‟s raining today, isn‟t it?‟ It is much more normal to add
some kind of opinion or evaluation and say, for example, „It‟s raining incredibly
hard today, isn‟t it?‟
把评论天气作为问候他人的方式是十分普遍的，例如“Beautiful day, isn‟t it?”。但
是人们一般不会只简单地做出平白无味的描述，例如“It‟s raining today, isn‟t it?”。而是
通常加上一些观点或评价，例如“It‟s raining incredibly hard today, isn‟t it?”。
【超级挑战一】
A: I hope you don‟t mind my asking, but haven‟t we met somewhere before?
（希望你别在意，我问一下，我们是否在哪里见过？）
B: Oh, we attended Crazy English Camp together three months ago.
（噢，三个月前，我们一起参加了疯狂英语集训营。）
A: Oh.Right! That‟s it. How is everything with you?
（哦，对了，就是。你一切都好吗？）
【超级挑战二】
A: Hi, great party, isn‟t it?
（嗨，舞会不错，是吧？）
B: Yeah. We‟re having a great time. How about your friends?
（是啊，我们玩得很开心。你的朋友玩得怎么样？）
A: Oh, they are having fun, too.
（噢，他们也玩得很开心。）
【财富大统计】
（1）I hope you don‟t mind my asking, but haven‟t we met somewhere before?
希望你别在意，我问一下，我们是否在哪里见过？
【Kim‟s Note】This is a polite and clever way to meet someone! If you think a
person looks interesting, you can try this sentence to break the ice and strike up
a conversation.

这是一种礼貌而又聪明的问候方式！如果你觉得某个人看上去很能引起你的兴趣，你可
以试着用这句话来打破沉默，展开谈话。
（2）How is everything with you?

你一切都好吗？
（3）We‟re having a great time/having fun.

我们玩得很开心。
【额外成就感】
（1）as a matter of fact 事实上
* I was just going to call you, as a matter of fact, I just dialed your number.
（我正准备打电话给你，事实上，我刚才还在拨你的号码。）
* As a matter of fact, I do study English at Beijing Uni versity.
（事实上，我的确是在北京大学学习英语。）
* As a matter of fact, everything in the store is fifty percent off today.
（事实上，今天店里的东西全部五折。）
* As a matter of fact, we welcome foreign investment.
（事实上，我们欢迎外商投资。）
（2）break the ice 打破沉默；打开话题

* Don‟t be shy. Just go over and say hello to her. She is probably just waiting for
you to break the ice.
（别害羞，走过去和她打个招呼。可能她正等着你打破僵局呢。）
* I hate going to parties. I never know how to break the ice and start conversations
with people.
（我讨厌参加聚会。我从来就不善于打破沉默与别人展开谈话。）
【Kim‟s Note】 This is a very important phrase and skill in American life. Every
time you go to a meeting or a conference in America you will need this ability.
这是一个非常重要的短语，也是美国社会生活中非常重要的技能。在美国无论是参加会
议或是会谈，你都需要这个技能。

Crazy English learners know this greeting!

【Kim‟s Note】 This is a good, short and authentic way to tell someone you‟re

response.
这是告诉别人你过得很好的一种适当、简洁、地道的方式。你可以脱口而出这个极具美
国味的回答，给别人留下深刻的印象。

【久别重逢常用语】
（1）Long time no see.
好久不见。〖中国人倍感亲切的句子。〗
【Kim‟s Note】I know that there are some books in China that discourage the use
of this greeting. They claim it is too “Chinglish” and it is Chinese in origin, not
American or British. I completely disagree! I have heard people use this greeting
my whole life all over the United States. So, I consider it one of China‟s great
contributions to international communication. Use it and be proud of your
English and your Chinese culture at the same time!

据我所知，中国的一些英文学习书籍劝诫大家不要使用这个问候语。书上说这句话是“中
国式英语”，它起源于中国，而不是美国或英国。对此我完全反对！我从小到大在美国各个
角落都听到人们使用这句问候语。因此我认为这是中国对国际语言交流的一个重大贡献。使
用这句问候语吧！为你的流利英语而骄傲！为你的中国文化而骄傲！

question words “how‟s” in front of almost anything and form a good greeting. For
example, if you know where someone is from, you can even say, “How‟s everything
in Beijing?” or “How‟s life in your country these days?” This is a powerful little
word combination. Learn it and use it every day!
这是一个必须掌握的问候句型！你几乎可以将疑问词“How‟s”放在任何东西前面组成
一个很棒的问候语。例如你知道别人来自哪里的话，你可以说：“How‟s everything in

记得每天学习它、使用它！

（1）b （2）b （3）b （4）a （5）c （6）a
【Culture Note】
The most common conversation you will probably have in English is a
greeting conversation. Most opportunities to speak English will begin with a
greeting! Be sure you know many different ways of greeting people and the
cultural differences behind them! These are a few differences that are worth
noting.
你用英语进行的最普遍的交谈恐怕就是问候了。大多数说英语的机会都是由问候开始
的！要确保自己了解问候的众多不同方式，以及背后的文化差异！以下是一些值得留意的差
别。
（1）If someone asks their colleague or friend whether they have had lunch or not,
the person wants to know “yes” or“no”. If the reply is“no”, the person will
probably go on to suggest that they go and have lunch together. In other words,
this kind of question is often a lead-in to a suggestion or invitation. It cannot be

used simply to greet a person, as is normal in Chinese.
（1）如果一个人问他的同事或者朋友是否吃过了午餐，他想明确地知道“是”或“否”。
如果回答是“否”，他接着也许会建议他们一起去吃午饭。换言之，这种问题通常是建议或
邀请的开场白。因此它不能像在中国那样普遍地用来作为简单的问候用语。
（2）Another common way of greeting in Chinese is to ask „Where are you going?‟
Foreigners living in China, who are not yet familiar with the Chinese culture, often
complain about being asked such a question. Some even complain that their room
attendants are SPIES because the attendants regularly greet them with „Where
are you going?‟. They do not recognize it as a Chinese greeting!
（2）中国人常用的另一种问候方式就是问对方：“你去哪儿呀？”有一些住在中国，但对
中国文化还不熟悉的外国人，经常抱怨被别人问这个问题。有些甚至抱怨酒店服务员是“间
谍”，因为服务员常常用“你要去哪儿？”来跟他们打招呼。他们没有意识到这是中国的一
种问候方式！
（3）Another common way of greeting in Chinese is to state what somebody is
doing. For example, if you meet someone who is obviously going to the dining hall,
you may make a comment like „Going to dinner!‟ Often in English this sounds a
little strange because the comment seems to state the obvious. In such situations,
it is possible to simply greet the person with a common greeting like „Hello‟. Bu t if
you wish to add something extra, you could say, „Hello. Have a nice dinner!‟ This is
much more usual than simply describing what the person is doing. Now for
example: At 12:00, two colleagues passing each other on the way out to lunch, but
seeing each other the first time that day.
（3）另一种中国人常用的问候方式，就是说出某人在做什么。举个例子说，如果你遇到一
个人，显然他正要去食堂。你可能就会对他说： “去吃饭啊！”通常在英语中，这听起来有点
奇怪，因为这句话似乎就是在陈述显而易见的事情。在这种情况下，你也许只要说一句平常
的问候语： “你好”就行了。但如果你想说点什么特别的，你可以说： “你好，祝你用餐愉快！”
这比起简单地描述那个人在做什么要常见多了。这里有个例子：12 点整，两个同事在出去
吃午饭的路上彼此遇上了，这是那天他们第一次见面。
A: Hi, Kim. How‟s it going?
（嗨，Kim，你好吗？）
B: Not bad. Have a nice lunch!
（还不错。祝你用餐愉快！）

7. Introducing Oneself 自我介绍

【Kim‟s Note】It takes a lot of confidence to introduce yourself to someone you
don‟t know! Self-introduction is even a challenge for native speakers. Take a deep
breath, put on a happy, smiling face and just do it. Most people are relieved that
someone else has broken the ice and taken the first step. You will undoubtedly be
greeted with an enthusiastic response.
向不认识的人介绍自己的确需要很大的自信！自我介绍对于那些英语为母语的人也是一
种挑战。做个深呼吸，展开一个愉快的笑容，开始进行自我介绍吧。大多数人在别人率先打
破沉默、迈出第一步后会感到轻松自如，因此你无疑将会得到热情的回应。
A: Hello! My name’s Carol, I’m a new student here.
（你好！我叫卡罗，我是这里的新生。）
B: Nice to meet you, Carol.
（很高兴认识你，卡罗。）
A: May I introduce myself? I‟m Andy Lee, a new student in the Foreign
Languages Department.
（我可以自我介绍一下吗？我是安迪·李，外语系的新生。）
B: Nice to meet you. I‟m Susan. I‟m a junior in the International Trade
Department.
（很高兴认识你，我叫苏珊，我是国际贸易系三年级学生。）
A: Allow me to introduce myself. My name is James Hart.
（请允许我做一下自我介绍。我叫占姆士·哈特。）
B: Pleased to meet you, Mr. Hart. I‟m Janet White.
（很高兴认识你，哈特先生。我叫珍妮特·怀特。）
A: Nice to meet you, too. Here‟s my card.
（我也很高兴认识你。这是我的名片。）
B: Thank you. Let me give you mine.
（谢谢你，这是我的名片。）
自我介绍的各种方式
（1）If you don‟t mind, I‟d like to introduce myself. I‟m Bill.〖用于正式场合〗
如果你不介意，我想介绍一下我自己。我叫比尔。
（2）May I introduce myself? I‟m Sally.

我可以介绍一下我自己吗？我是莎莉。
（3）Allow me to introduce myself. My name‟s Jack.

请允许我介绍一下自我介绍。我叫杰克。
（4）Excuse me, I don‟t think we‟ve met before. My name‟s Frank.

对不起，我想我们以前没见过吧。我叫弗朗克。
（5）Nice to meet you. My name‟s Sue.

你好，我叫苏。
（6）Hello/Hi! I‟m Peter. 〖用于非正式场合〗

你好！我是彼特。
很多中国的英语学习者喜欢赶时髦，学一些俚语和非正式的说法，觉得自己了不起！其
实，那是层次很低的东西！我的意见是：既要能说时髦的简略语，又要能脱口而出正式场合
的、有教养的高级英语！或是说，既能出入酒吧，又能步入五星级的宴会！
这才是国际化的中国人！
8. Introducing Someone 介绍他人
A: Carl, I’d like you to meet Ann.
（卡尔，我希望你能认识一下安。）
B: Nice to meet you, Ann.
（很高兴认识你，安。）
C: Same here.
（我也很高兴。）
A: Do you know each other? David – Paul.
（你们认识吗？这位是大卫，这位是保罗。）
B: Oh, Nice to meet you, Paul.
（噢，很高兴认识你，保罗。）
C: The pleasure is mine.
（我也很高兴。）
A: Bill, I’d like to introduce George to you.
（比尔，我想把乔治介绍给你认识。）
B: I‟ve been looking forward to meeting you.
（我一直想见你。）
C: Good to meet you, Bill!
（很高兴认识你，比尔！）
介绍他人的各种方式
（1）It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you Mr. Bill Gates, President of
Microsoft Company.
请允许我荣幸地向各位介绍微软公司总裁比尔·盖茨先生。
【使用背景】用于正式会议上或其他正式场合介绍重要知名人物。

今天有幸请到了史密斯博士。
【使用背景】用于正式的学术讲座或演讲场合。
【Kim‟s Note 】If your English is good, you will probabl y be asked to do an
introduction whenever your company or school hosts a foreign guest. As a matter

of fact, I notice that the best English speakers are often chosen to introduce
Teacher Li.
如果你的英语说得不错，你公司或学校要接待外国朋友的时侯就有可能找你去做介绍。
事实上，我发现每次都是挑选英语说得最棒的人来介绍李老师。
【疯狂小故事】
李阳老师在各地举办演讲时，都需要一个英语说得特别棒的主持人在他上台前向听众进
行一个简单的介绍。有一次，事前选好的一个当地英语主持人，在上台前突然怯场，非常紧
张，无法进行主持。然而一时间又找不到合适的替换者，在情急之下，来了一个“一人分饰
两角”，李阳老师拿着话筒在幕后用地道的英语说： “It‟s a great honor to have teacher Li
here today.”一片热烈的掌声响起之后，李老师自信地从幕后走了出来。听众的注意力马
上集中到李阳老师身上，没有人再去回想那个英语纯正的幕后英雄是谁了。
（4）Allow me to introduce you to Mark.

请允许我把马克介绍给你认识。

【Kim‟s Note】 Little expressions like these can have a big impact on your English.

authentically.

表达自己的能力。

9. Saying Goodbye for the Day 短暂分别
A: Well, Take it easy. See you later.
（好了，保重啊。再见。）
B: You too. Bye.
（你也是，再见。）
A: Well, Jack, I’ve got to go now.
（好了，杰克，我得走了。）
B: Have a nice weekend. See you Monday.
（周末愉快。下周一见。）
A: Goodbye and good luck.
（再见，祝你好运。）
A: It‟s time I met my girlfriend. I really have to go now.
（我该去见我女朋友了，我现在真的得走了。）
B: Have fun. Goodbye.
（玩得愉快，再见。）
A: Bye-bye.
（拜拜。）
【Kim‟s Note】 “Bye-bye” is baby talk for “goodbye,” and there is a cliche using it
as a noun: to go bye-bye is baby talk for “to go for a walk, to leave, to go away.”
Today “bye-bye” is casual for saying goodbye. I never said “bye -bye” until I came to
China! Now I say it all the time and my American friends tease me about my “baby
talk!”
“Bye-bye”是小孩子说“再见”的用语，有一种陈旧的说法，就是把它用作名词， “to
go bye-bye”是小孩子说“去散步，离开，走开”的意思。如今，“bye-bye”是告别的非
正式说法。来中国以前我从来没有说过“bye-bye”！而现在我随时都在说，我的美国朋友
常常拿我的“小孩用语”开涮！

10. Seeing Someone off 送别

【Kim‟s Note】Don‟t let this situation intimidate you. It really is a great chance to
show off not only your English, but also your international qualifications. Teacher
Li and I have traveled to several countries and the problem of how to see someone
off seems to be international. I always feel awkward as I watch Korean and
Japanese people bowing and just saying “OK, you go now.”
不要让送别的场面给吓住了，其实这不但是卖弄你英语水平的好机会，也是展现你国际
风采的好机会。我和李老师去过好几个国家，如何送别好像是个国际性的难题。每当我看见
韩国人和日本人一边鞠躬一边说：“好了，你现在走吧。”难免感到万分尴尬。
A: Goodbye, Mr. Smith. I hope you’ll have a pleasant trip home. [hug]
（再见，史密斯先生。祝你一路顺风。）[拥抱]
B: Thanks. I had a wonderful time here.
（谢谢。在这里我过得很愉快。）
A: Well, Daniel, I’m afraid I have to say good-bye now. The train leaves in fifteen
minutes.
（嗯，丹尼尔，我想我该说再见了，火车 15 分钟以后就开车了。）
B: I wish you didn‟t have to leave so soon. Have a nice trip!
（真希望你别这么快就走。旅途愉快！）
A: Thanks. I‟m looking forward to seeing you again soon.
（谢谢，盼望很快再见到你！）
B: Me, too. Take care. [Hug]
（我也是，保重。）[拥抱]
A: Oh, they are calling the passengers to board the plane now. Thank you so
much for seeing me off. Goodbye. [Hug]
（噢，该登机了，谢谢你来送我。再见。）[拥抱]
B: Goodbye. Have a good flight! Say hello to your wife for me.
（再见，一路顺风！代我向你夫人问好。）
A: Thank you. Let’s keep in touch.
（谢谢你，让我们保持联系。）
【Kim‟s note】 It is very common for western people to exchange hugs when saying
goodbye. Especially before traveling! All of these dialogues would be said with a
hug!
西方人在告别时互相拥抱是十分平常的，特别是在出门旅行前！上面这几个对话进行的
时候都会伴有拥抱。

11. Saying Goodbye after a Visit 拜访告别
A: Thank you very much for a wonderful evening.
（谢谢你安排这么美好的夜晚。）
B: It was a pleasure having you. Please come again.
（很高兴你的光临。请再来玩。）
A: Excuse me, I’ve got to go now. Thank you for inviting me. I had a really good
time.
（对不起，我现在得走了。谢谢你请我来，我玩得很愉快。）
B: Thank you for coming. Please come to visit us again soon.
（谢谢你的光临。请再来看我们。）
A: I‟d like that. Thanks again. Goodbye.
（好啊。再次感谢，再见。）
A: Well, I‟m afraid I really have to be going. Thank you for everything.
（哦，恐怕我真的得走了。谢谢你的款待。）
B: Already? I had wanted to talk to you a little more.
（要走了？我还想和你多聊一会儿呢。）
A: I‟d like to, but I have an early meeting tomorrow.
（我也很想，不过明天我一早就要开会。）
B: Too bad. Maybe we can make it another time. Good night.
（太可惜了，或许下次吧。晚安。）
A: Good night.
（晚安。）
告别常用客套话
（1）I think it‟s time for us to leave now.
我想我们该走了。
（2）Well, I really have to be going now.
嗯，我真的要走了。
（3）I‟m afraid I must say goodbye now.
恐怕我得告辞了。
（4）I guess I should get going.
我想我该走了。
（5）Sorry, I‟ve got to go.
对不起，我得走了。
（6）Let‟s keep in touch.
让我们保持联系。
（7）Have a nice day!
祝你今天愉快！
（8）Have a nice trip!
旅途愉快！
（9）Have a good flight!
一路顺风！
（10）Have fun!
玩得愉快！

【Kim‟s note】 “Have fun!” is a common way to say goodbye in American English.
It means enjoy yourself wherever you are going. Don‟t let this simple two word
goodbye confuse you. Use it and sound like a native speaker. Sometimes I say this
to Teacher Li when he leaves and he sharply responds “I‟m not going to have fun,
I‟m going to a meeting!” I have to remind him it‟s just an expression, like“manzou”.
It doesn‟t really mean anything! You see how much you can learn from cultural
differences.
“Have fun!”是美国英语中一种常见的告别方式。意思是祝愿对方无论去哪里都玩得开
心。千万不要被这简单的两个字的告别词给弄糊涂了。学会用它，你说英语就会像一个以英
语为母语的人。李老师外出前我有时会对他说这句话，他一本正经地回答说： “我不是去玩，
我是去开会！”我不得不提醒他这只不过是一个告别常用表达，就像中国人说“慢走”一样，
它并没有什么真正含义！现在你明白从文化差异中你可以学到很多东西了吧。
（11）Have a good lunch!

好好享受午餐！
（12）Have a nice night/evening!
晚上玩得开心！
（13）Enjoy yourself!
玩得开心！
（14）Good luck!

（16）See you soon.

（19）Take care.
保重。
（20）Thank you for everything.
谢谢你的款待。
（21）Thank you for coming.
谢谢你的光临。
（22）Drop in again sometime.

（23）Hope to see you again soon.
希望很快又能见到你。
（24）Please say hello to your parents for me.
代我向你父母问好。
（25）Remember me to your family.
代我问候你的家人。
【Culture Note】
Saying “goodbye” is usually a longer process in English than saying “hello”.
There are usually several exchanges and wishes before the two parties actually
part! If you say “Bye-bye” abruptly and walk away quickly, the person you were
speaking to will feel very strange and wonder if they offended you in some way.
That‟s why we give you so many different options for saying goodbye.
在英语中说“再见”通常比说“你好”的过程要长。在双方真的分别之前通常都会有好

几个回合的道别和祝福。如果你突然说句：
“拜拜”，然后扭头就走，对方一定会感到非常奇
怪，纳闷自己是不是哪里得罪你了。所以我们奉献给大家这么多不同的告别用语以供选用。

【参考答案】
（1）b （2）b （3）c （4）a （5）a （6）c
大家千万不可小看“感谢”这个功能。“感谢”不但常常出现在人们每天的

工作和生活中，而且还频频出现在非常正式的场合，比如：接受新闻采访、获奖
现场致辞等。下面我们就来看一下两个典型的实例：
【现场演绎一】
Wang Ling has just received the First prize in the 21 st Century National
English Speech Contest held in Beijing. Now she is being interviewed by a news
reporter from China Daily.
王玲刚刚在北京举行的 21 世纪全国英语演讲比赛中获得了一等奖。现在一个《中国日
报》的新闻记者正在采访她。

tell us how you have achieved this?
（你的英语口语非常棒，所有的评委都感到震惊，能跟我们谈谈你是如何做到的吗？）
B: Well, I don‟t know what to say. I‟m very grateful to receive this prize. I
appreciate this honor very much. I love English and I speak every chance I get. I
really never expected to win such an important contest though.
（唔，我不知道该说些什么。得到这个奖我很感激，获得这个荣誉我深表感谢。我热爱英
语，一有机会我就说英语，但是我真的从来都没有想到过能在这么重要的竞赛中获胜。）
A: When did you start learning English?
（你什么时候开始学英语的？）

English when I was very young. I‟d like to thank them for introducing me to the
international language.
（我的父母都是大学英语教师，我很小的时候他们就鼓励我说英语。我要感谢他们引导我
学习这门国际语言。）
A: Did you have English in your primary school?
（你读小学的时候有没有学英语？）

my middle school English teachers who taught me grammar over the years.

语法。我想感谢这些年来教我语法的中学英语老师。）
A: Did you learn spoken English at college?
（你在大学里学英语口语吗？）

（没有。我得说我是运用疯狂英语方法来学习口语的。李阳给了我很多启示，我只是以他
为榜样来学习英语。虽然我和他从未谋面，但是对我来说，他真的是一位出色的老师。）

（依我看你把你的成功很大部分都归功于你的父母和老师们。）

who helped me throughout the years. I appreciate the honor but feel I really have
to share the credit for my success with all those who helped me so much. Thanks

again.
（是啊，真的。我还想谢谢我的同学们，在大学里我跟他们一起练习说英语，获得这个奖
对我来说意义重大，我很感谢他们，也很感谢这些年来帮助过我的每一个人。我很荣幸得到
这个奖，但我觉得我真的应该把这个成功的荣誉与那些帮助过我的人一起分享。谢谢。）

Academy Awards Speech
奥斯卡颁奖典礼致辞
Good evening! Ladies and gentlemen,

Thank you! Thank you so much! Oh, My God. I just can‟t believe it. Is it real
or am I just dreaming? Please forgive me. I am, I am just so shocked and so
thankful. I never expected this award tonight. I’m very grateful to receive this
award for “Best Actress.” I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate this
great honor. There are so many people I’d like to thank. First of all, I want to
thank my parents for bringing me into this world. I also want to express my
gratitude to all of my teachers over the years, but especially to my acting teacher
Clark Johnson who taught me everything I know. I want to thank my husband,
for his understanding and kindness. And finally, I want to express my
appreciation to all of my friends for their support, especially to Martin Miller, for
being there when I needed him. There are just too many people I should thank and
I know I am probably forgetting someone. So again, I just want to say thank you
to everyone who helped me, supported me, or just listened to me when I needed a
shoulder to cry on. This award means a great deal to me. Words can‟t express how
honored I feel at this moment. I will remember this night for the rest my life!
Thank you very much.
【参考译文】
晚上好！女士们，先生们：
谢谢你们！非常感谢！噢，天啊！我简直不敢相信。这是真的还是我在做梦呢？请大家
原谅, 此时此刻我是惊喜万分、感激万分。我从来没料到自己能在今晚获奖。获此“最佳女
主角”奖的荣誉，我深表感谢。这种感激之情实在是无法用语言来表达。我想感谢很多人。
首先，我想感谢我的父母把我带到这个世界上。另外，我还想对这么多年来教过我的老师们
说声谢谢，尤其是感谢我的表演老师克拉克·约翰逊，他教会了我所知道的每一件事。我要
感谢我的丈夫对我的理解和支持。最后我想感谢所有支持过我的朋友，特别感谢马丁·米勒，
每当我需要他时，他总在我身边。我还要感谢很多人，我想我可能一时想不起来。我想再一
次对每一个关心我、支持我、在我需要依靠的时候倾听我的述说的人说一声“谢谢你们！”
这个奖对我来说意义重大。任何话语也表达不了此时我所感到的万分荣幸。我今生将永远记
住今晚的美好时刻！非常感谢。
让我们一起来数一数这段致辞中有多少表达感谢的句型：
（1）Thank you!
（2）Thank you so much!
（3）I‟m very grateful to…
（4）I can‟t begin to tell you how much I appreciate…
（5）I‟d like to thank…
（6）I want to thank… for…
（7）I want to express my gratitude to…
（8）I want to express my appreciation to… for…
（9）I just want to say thank you to…
（10）Thank you very much.

上面这段感谢致辞是用来卖弄你英语水平的极佳材料，只需简单地换一下文章中的名
字，就可以据为己有了。不妨用“一、三、五”方法操练一百遍、一千遍，直至滚瓜烂熟、
脱口而出，你就不会再面临领奖致辞时的尴尬了。
【Culture Note】
The phrase „thank you‟ is commonly used in both English and Chinese. It
expresses gratefulness for a number of things, such as for a present, an invitation,
for help, or for an offer of help or other kinds of offers. However, there are some
differences between the two languages in the exact way in which this phrase is
used.
“谢谢”这个短语在英语和汉语中都很常用，它可以用来对很多事情表达感激，例如谢
谢别人的礼物、邀请、帮助或主动提供帮助，或者主动提供其他东西。但是，在这个短语的
具体用法中，汉语和英语还是存在一些差别的。
Typically in Chinese, this phrase is not used very often between very close
friends or family members. If it is used in such cases it may sound strange or
imply a distance in the relationship. However, in English, „thank you‟ is used in
almost every circumstance, no matter whether the people are strangers or
intimate friends. Not to use it would often seem rude and might indicate that the
person is taking the other for granted.
举个具有代表性的例子，在汉语中，这句话在很亲近的朋友或者家庭成员中并不常用。
如果在这些人当中用了这句话，听起来就会很别扭，或是暗示着他们关系的生疏。然而，在
英语中，几乎在任何一种环境下都能用上“谢谢”，不管那些人是陌生人还是亲密的朋友。
如果不说“谢谢”，通常就会让人感觉粗鲁无礼，同时也可能会暗示着这个人把别人为他所
做的事当成是理所当然的。

Awesome 这个单词在美国英语中一直很风靡。起初只有学生使用这个单词，但是现在

【参考答案】
（1）c （2）b （3）c （4）b （5）c （6）c

【Culture Note】
In Chinese when people pay compliments, it is common to refuse them; for
example, if somebody says, “You speak English very well”, the response may be
“No, no, my English is very poor.” And people may say this, even if they feel that
their English is good. To accept a compliment might seem too arrogant in Chinese.
However, in English people can reply in a variety of ways. In the majority of
circumstances, it is perfectly normal to accept a compliment, unless the
compliment is very obviously untrue. So people frequently respond by simply
saying “Thank you”. Another more modest and useful way is to say, “Far from it.”
I think this is better than refusing the compliment altogether and more modest
than just saying “thank you”.
A: Your English/Chinese is really amazing.
B: Far from it.
在中国，当人们受到赞美时，通常都会拒绝。例如，如果有人说： “你的英语说得很好。”
回答可能是： “不好，不好，我的英语很差劲。”即使他们觉得自己的英语很好，也会这样说。
对中国人来说，接受赞美会让人觉得太自负了。但是在说英语的人群中得到的回答就多种多
样了。在大多数情况下，接受赞美是十分正常的事，除非那个赞美很明显是假的。所以人们
经常只是简单地说声“谢谢”来回答。还有一个更加谦虚更加实用的方法是说“还差得远呢！”
我认为这句话比完全拒绝赞美要好得多，同时比起仅仅说声“谢谢”要来得谦虚。

17. Encouraging Someone 鼓励
A: No, I can‟t climb the rest of this mountain. It‟s too steep.
（不行，我爬不完这座山了，太陡了。）
B: Come on! You can do it.
（来吧！你能行。）
A: I just can‟t make my pronunciation perfect.
（我的发音始终不纯正。）
B: Don’t give up! You’re doing fine.
（别放弃！你做得不错。）
A: I think English grammar is the most difficult thing for me.
（我觉得英语语法对我来说太难了。）
B: Don’t let it get you down. You’ll make progress if you keep working on it.
（不要灰心，只要你坚持学习，你一定会进步的。）
【超级挑战】
A: I don‟t know what‟s wrong with me. I can‟t seem to do anything right these days.
（我不知道我怎么了，这些天我总是做错事。）

【Culture Note】
The habit of encouraging people, even strangers, is deeply engrained in
American culture. All the cheering you hear at sporting events is really just a form
of encouragement.
鼓励他人，即使是陌生人，这种习惯已经在美国文化中根深蒂固了。你在运动场上所听
到的所有的喝彩其实正是鼓励的一种形式。
18. M aking an Apology 道歉
A: I’m sorry I got angry at you at the party.
（我很抱歉在晚会上对你生气。）
B: That‟s OK. I know you‟ve been upset lately.

（我打碎了你的盘子，太对不起了。）

（哦，别担心。那算不了什么。）
【疯狂调侃】心里面却想：Oh, my god! That‟s a very ancient and precious plate. I
inherited it from my grandmother！（哦！天哪！那可是珍贵的古董盘啊！
是我奶奶传给我的!）
【Kim‟s Note】Remember that accepting an apology graciously is also an important
function. Sometimes it‟s hard to do, but it really will make the situation better.
我得提醒大家亲切地接受道歉也是一种重要的功能。有时做起来很难，但是真的能缓和
尴尬的局面。

（我必须为„„向你道歉。）

（10）I‟m sorry!/Sorry!〖最常用的道歉用语〗
（对不起！）
【Kim‟s Note】It really isn‟t good manners to just say „sorry‟ without using „I am‟.
It‟s just a personal pet peeve of mine but it is worth mentioning. As a teacher I
often have to insist that my students apologize to one another. I never let them
just blurt out a one word apology.
道歉时仅仅只说 “sorry” 前面不加上 “I am” 其实是不太礼貌的。这也许只是我个人
的“偏见”，但还是值得一提。作为一位老师，我常常教导我的学生要为自己做错的事向他
人道歉，我从来都不会教他们仅仅脱口而出一个 “sorry” 来表示歉意。
常用应答短句
（1）That‟s no problem.
（没关系。）

a conversation in a group.
这个例子表明谈论喜好和憎恶如何能够在群体中展开交谈。
表达喜欢的常用句型
（1）I really like …
（2）I love…
（3）I‟m crazy about…
（4）I enjoy…
（5）I‟m fond of…
（6）I‟m keen on…〖美国人曾经这么说，但已经过时了！〗

with strong words, such as hate, awful, or terrible. It‟s just the American way of

Asian people have a more difficult time saying “no” directly than western
people do. Many times Asian people will just remain silent or offer an explanation
such as, “It‟s not convenient right now” instead of just saying a blunt “no” as a
western person would. Knowing this culture difference can give you a big
advantage when communicating.
和西方人比起来，亚洲人很难直接说出“不”。大多数时侯亚洲人只会保持沉默或是解
释说“现在不太方便”，而不会像西方人那样直截了当地说“不” 。懂得这个文化差异对你的
沟通和交流有很大的帮助。

【Culture Note】
Maybe a good piece of advice for dealing with foreign friends is to offer your
advice as a suggestion. Americans particularly don‟t like being told what to do, but
are usually happy to take a suggestion. So, if you tell someone they HAVE to visit
The Great Wall while they are in China, they may have a negative feeling. But, if
you tell someone you highly recommend or suggest they visit The Great Wall you
will be more warmly received.
在与外国朋友交往中，一个忠告就是把你的劝告转化成建议的语气来进行表达。美国人
最不喜欢被命令，但是通常很乐意接受建议。所以，如果你告诉他们来中国时必须去游长城，
他们可能会产生反感情绪。但是，如果你想他们全力推荐或是建议他们去游览长城，那么他
们就会非常乐意地接受你的建议。

【Culture Note】
When Westerners wish to invite people to dinner or something, it is normal
to ask them a week or so in advance. This is because Westerners often schedule
their time quite carefully, and like to plan what they are doing. If less notice than
this is given, (in other words, if they are asked less than a week or so in advance)
it implies that the invitation is a relatively casual one, and that it does not matter
too much if the people cannot accept. So if the host particularly wants them to
come, it is wise to give them sufficient notice. If the host does not do this, the
people may already have something planned and therefore have to decline the
invitation.
当西方人想邀请别人共进晚餐或是其他什么，通常都会提前一星期左右发出邀请。因为
西方人通常都是非常周密地安排他们的时间，并且喜欢安排好他们要做的事。如果通知得晚
（换言之，如果没有提前一星期左右发出邀请），就表明这个邀请是相对比较随便，如果人
家不能接受的话，也没什么关系。所以如果主人非常希望客人应邀，聪明的做法就是提前通
知对方以便安排时间。如果主人没这样做，对方可能已经计划好了什么事要去做，因此不得
不谢绝邀请。
Of course, among close friends it is very common to issue spur of the
moment invitations. Close friends don‟t have to take advanced schedules into
consideration. They are just happy to be able to get together and don‟t suffer any
hard feelings if someone is too busy to make it to a last-minute gathering.
当然了，在关系密切的朋友之间，一时心血来潮邀请对方也是一件很常见的事。亲密的
朋友用不着考虑提前约定时间。他们只是很高兴能聚一聚，要是有一方太忙而赶不上这个约
会，他们也不会感到难受。

A: Excuse me, but do they allow people to bring pets into the park?

B: Yes, they do.
（是的，允许。）
A: There’s a sign that says NO PARKING.
（那里有块“禁止停车”的标志牌。）
B: Well, isn‟t that something! I just parked here last week with no problem. I don‟t
remember seeing any sign then!
（嗯，不可能！我上个星期在这里停车都没事，我印象中当时没有见到任何标志。）
32. Refusing Permission 不允许
A: Is barbecuing allowed on the beach?
（沙滩上允许烧烤吗？）

permission. The general wisdom, especially when dealing with leases and

在涉及西方文化的时候，通常最好是先征求许可，特别是在涉及租约和公寓租赁时，明
智的做法：假设回答是“不”。

【Culture Note】
One of the biggest areas of cultural difference related to making requests is
smoking. It is not allowed in nearly as many places in the west and people
frequently ask others not to smoke. If you hear this request, try not to react rudely.
Think of it as a chance to show off your good manners.
关于提出请求这个方面，中西文化差异最大之一就是吸烟问题。在西方国家很多地方都
是禁止吸烟的，人们也常常要求其他人不要吸烟，如果你听到这个请求，尽量不要反应粗鲁，
把这认为是一个表现你风度的好机会。
【编者按】我每次和我的一位外国朋友一起乘“的士”的时候，他总是要求我去询问的士司
机他是否可以在车上吸烟，每次得到的回答都是“可以。”后来我告诉他不要老是叫我去问
司机可不可以吸烟，反正每次都是得到许可的回答，但是那个“绅士”始终坚持要我每次给
他翻译这句话，真是让我不胜其烦。我想这就是中西文化的差异所在吧！

A: Are you sure about our success?
（你肯定我们会成功吗？）

【Kim‟s Note】 This can be heard in many military offices across America right

confidence in his men.

但是这就是军官们给下属打气的一种职责。

it in a safe place. The bathroom or a corner of the office is always a bad idea!
Save it for after work!
大多数人都喜欢抱怨他们的老板，但是要确保找个安全的地方抱怨。洗手间或是办公室

Some people form all their friendships based on a common complaint or
shared grievance. Relationships like this usually don‟t last long because they
aren‟t rewarding but depressing. Try to cultivate internation al friendships based
on more than one aspect!
一些人把所有的友谊都建立在共同的抱怨或不满之上。这种人际关系通常不会长久，因为这

【Culture Note】
It‟s true that Chinese culture values politeness and cares about keeping face.
However, in the twenty-first century, arguing is sometimes necessary. If you never
argue or stand up for what you believe in, people will not admire you for giving
them face. They will think that you are easily pushed around. Of course if the
person who angers you doesn‟t understand English, you can just vent your
feelings in a language he doesn‟t understand!
在中国文化中注重以和为贵，中国人在乎面子问题。然而在 21 世纪里，学会争吵有时
是很有必要的。如果你从来不为自己的信仰而争而论，人们也不会因为你为他们留脸面而钦
佩你，他们会以为你很好欺负。当然，如果那个招惹你的人不懂英语，那么你就可以用他听
不懂的语言来出出气。

礼貌而得体地进行约会和改变约会很有讲究。

【Kim‟s Note】 Americans prefer the words “have to” to “must”. It is much more
common to hear “have to” in American English.
美国人这用 “have to”，而不常用“must”。在美国英语中更常听到 “have to” 这个短语。

【参考答案】
（1）b （2）c （3）c
60. Hesitation 犹豫
【疯狂短评】
思维与语言密不可分，人在拿不定主意的时候语言会发生相应的连锁反应。因此，交谈
时免不了要停顿，给自己一些时间组织思路以便找到合适的表达方式。但是要记住，关键时
千万不要中断讲话而沉默，沉默可能会使你窘迫不堪，有时还会丧失谈话的主动权。掌握一
些填补沉默的填充语，学会使自己的谈话连续下去，这是谈话的基本技巧之一。
A: Have you decided to go to Australia for summer vacation?
（你已经决定去澳大利亚度暑假了吗？）
B: I’m still hesitating. I have to make a decision before the end of this week.
（我仍在犹豫不决。本周末之前我就得做出决定。）
A: We want to know how long it will take you to repair the TV set.
（我们想知道你多久能修好这台电视机。）

A: Dad, can I possibly have the car tonight? I have a very important date.
（爸爸，今天晚上我可以用车吗？我有一个非常重要的约会。）

B: Uh… Let me think for a minute. W ell, I guess so.
（呃„„让我考虑考虑。好吧，我想可以。）
A: Thanks.
（谢谢。）
【编者按】
中国人比较害羞，在说话间断时习惯闭着嘴说“嗯”来填补沉默，外国人则不然，他们
的习惯是张着嘴说“uh”，所以在判断一个人的英语是否说得地道时，这也是一个小“hint”。
记得上大学时，我的口语老师不厌其烦地纠正每个同学说英语时“嗯、嗯、嗯”的坏习惯，
反复强调要张嘴说“uh”来代替。别看这一小点毛病，我可是花了差不多三个月的反复操
练和纠正才改变中国人说话的习惯。如果你想说一口纯正的英语，千万别忽略了这个小问题。
61. Hoping 表达希望
A: I hope the meeting will be over soon.
（我希望会议快点结束。）

A: Do you have any strong feelings about my growing a beard?
（你对于我留胡须反感吗？）
B: I don’t care one way or the other.

（你留不留胡须我都无所谓。）
【Kim‟s Note】 I have strong feelings about this! I really don‟t like men with beards.
A few years ago this unshaven look was so popular in America. I thought it was
awful. Everyone said it made men look sexy. I thought it made them look like they
should have a tin cup in their hands begging for money. So a note to remember,
men with beards and mustaches need not apply where I am concerned!
我对留胡须很反感！我真的很讨厌留胡须的男人。几年前在美国很流行不剃胡须，我认
为这很恶心。每个人都说男人留胡须很性感，而我认为留胡须的男人看起来就像是大街上捧
着饭盆讨钱的。所以，留胡须的男人绝不会是我感兴趣的。
63. Delight 高兴
A: You look very happy.
（你看起来非常高兴。）

【Kim‟s Note】 Expressing sympathy is a necessary but difficult skill. If someone
shares bad news with you, it is important that you show your sympathy. If you
just remain silent, the person will assume you don‟t care about their problems.
Even saying “I‟m sorry, but I don‟t know what to say.” is better than saying
nothing.
表达同情是十分必要而又有难度的技能。如果你和别人一起听到噩耗，那么这时表现你

83. Comforting 安慰
【疯狂短评】
人生顺逆起落虽说主要取决于自己，但是别人的安慰、鼓励、帮助也有着不可忽视的作
用。安慰不仅是平复他人心灵创伤的良药，也是鼓励他人奋起、走向新生活和新的认识高度
的巨大动力。安慰是一门艺术。安慰技巧是通过人与人之间互相交往、互相关心逐步获得的。
安慰之中应予以更多的鼓励和更多的热情，而这一切都离不开合适的语言。
【Kim‟s Note】 Someone who is good at offering comfort always has a lot of friends.
Even if your English is great, you really need to have the right kind of heart to do

安慰别人。

enjoy hearing a little gossip every now and then is probably lying. In fact, I find
that the people who deny gossiping the strongest are the ones who enjoy doing it
the most. Don‟t forget that listening to other people‟s conversations is a great
source of gossip and a fantastic way to improve your listening comprehension and
concentration skills!
说长道短是每个人的天性，告诉你他从来就不喜欢听流言蜚语的人可能就是在说谎。事

话是流言蜚语的最佳来源，也是提高听力理解能力和训练注意力的绝好方法。

definitely yes.
这个短语是困扰中国英语学习者的一个难点。 “Out of the question” 表示绝对不。

95. Asking to Repeat 要求重复

【Kim‟s Note 】This is an important function for language learners. I always
encourage people to ask for repetition if something is unclear. Even native
speakers do this. In fact, some should do it more often. A lot of misunderstandings
could be avoided if people took the time to double check what was said instead of
just going on assumption.
对于语言学习者来说这是一个非常重要的功能。我总是鼓励他人如果没有听懂就要求对
方重复。就算是说自己母语的人也会这么做。事实上，有些人经常这样做。如果人们花时间
去再次核查听到的话，而不是在那里不懂装懂，很多误会就可以避免了。

（我的意思是说，我们要坚持更久一些。）

【现场演绎】
News reports rely on description. News writers and reporters are trained to
answer the “Big Five” or “Five W” questions with as much description as possible.
When reporting you answer the questions; when interviewing, you ask the
following: Who, What, When, Where, Why.
新闻报导就是依靠描述。新闻撰稿人和记者都是用尽可能多的描述去回答“五大”或者
“五个 W”问题的专家。报导时，需要回答问题；采访时，需要问问题，这“五大”问题
就是：何人、何事、何时、何地、何因。
A TV news reporter is interviewing someone who has just saved a

little boy at the beach.
一位电视新闻记者正在沙滩上采访刚刚救起一个落水小男孩的英雄。
A: What happened and when did it happen?

（发生了什么事？什么时候发生的？）
B: Well, I was lying on the beach listening to the radio this afternoon, when
suddenly I heard someone shouting for help.
（唔，今天下午我躺在沙滩上听收音机，突然间我听到有人喊救命。）

A: So what did you do?
（接着你做了什么？）
B: I jumped up. Looked out toward the ocean, and saw a little boy waving his arms
in the air.
（我跳了起来，向大海望去，看到一个小男孩的手臂在空中挥舞。）
A: What did you do next?
（你接下来是怎么做的？）
B: I took off my shirt and my watch and jumped into the water.
（我脱掉上衣，解下手表，跳进水里。）
A: And THEN what did you do?
（然后你又怎么做呢？）
B: I swam out to the little boy, held him so his head stayed above water, and
brought him back to shore.
（我向那小男孩游过去，抱住他，把他的头抬出水面，然后带他返回岸边。）

（听起来像是一次不同寻常的经历。）
B: It sure was!
（确实是！）

99. Explaining 解释
A: I don‟t think we should eat here.
（我认为我们不应该在这里吃饭。）
B: You mean it isn‟t good place or it‟s too expensive?
（你的意思是这个地方不好，还是价格太贵了?）
A: No, what I mean is, the service is terrible.
（都不是，我的意思是这里服务太差了。）
A: Why are you late again? You promised not to be late again.
（你为什么又迟到了？你发誓不会再迟到的。）
B: Let me explain. My daughter had an accident, so I had to take her to the
hospital.
（让我解释一下，我的女儿突然生病了，我得带她去医院。）

A: You‟re not only late all the time, you‟re a liar too!
（你不仅是个迟到大王，还是个说谎大王。）
100. Giving examples 举例

【Kim‟s Note】This is also an important function for politicians. To be an effective
politician or leader, you cannot just make great claims. You must back them up
with examples. “In the last two years I have made great improvements in New York.
For example, the crime rate has fallen, there are thousands of new jobs, and I
have reduced pollution.”
对政治家来说这也是一个非常重要的功能。想成为一个有影响力的政治家或领导，你不
能只做空头口号，你必须用例子来支持你的宣言，如：“这两年来，我对纽约做出了巨大的
贡献，比如：犯罪率下降，创造了上千的就业机会，并且减小了污染。”

swimming and skiing.
（他喜欢各种户外活动，比如：足球、篮球、游泳、滑雪等。）

A: There are many ways to improve your English that don‟t cost much money.
Take the China Daily for example, it‟s a great source of learning material.
（其实有很多不需要花多少钱就可以提高你英语水平的方法，比如说《中国日报》就是一
种很好的学习资料。）
B: Wow, you are right. I never even think of buying that newspaper.
（哦，对啊，我从来都没想过去买那份报纸。）
A: The city is undergoing a lot of changes. Take traffic for example, many new
overpasses have been built.
（这个城市正在发生巨大的变化，以交通为例，建了很多新的立交桥。）
B: Right, many are still under construction. When I came back from America I
almost didn‟t realize that I was in Guangzhou.
（是的，许多还正在建设之中。当我从美国回来时，我几乎都意识不到自己在广州。）
101. Swearing and Yelling 骂人和吵架
【疯狂短评】
相信大家在看美国电影的时候，会发现里面的台词难免有一些骂人和吵架时用的粗
话。骂人当然是不好的，但这也是真实生活的一个方面，所以懂得一些骂人和吵架的英语句
子也是我们学习英语不可缺少的一个组成部分。我们并不是提倡大家用英语去骂人，而是让
大家能够完全看懂美国电影，并且在别人用英语骂你的时候不至于还点头称好。
以下，我们向大家介绍十个最最简单，却又最具有杀伤力的经典句子：

Top Ten Swearing & Yelling Sentences

十大骂人吵架经典句
Damn it! （该死！/他妈的！）
2. Go to hell!（去你的！)
3. Shit!（倒霉！/他妈的！）
4. Bullshit!（胡说！/去你的！）
5. You son of a bitch!（你个狗娘养的！）
6. You dickhead!（你这个白痴！）
7. You shit head!（你这个草包！）
8. Fuck off!（滚蛋！）
9. Asshole!（混蛋！）
10. Fuck it!（他妈的烦！）
【Lisa‟s Note】Although it seems that everyone swears all the time in American
movies, in real life you should be careful about when and where you swear.People
who swear a lot may seem rude, angry, or uneducated. Pay attention to the people
you‟re talking to, if they never swear, they may feel shocked if you use swear
words with them. Even polite people may say“Damn it!”or“Shit!”when they are
very angry or frustrated, but the other expressions are so rude that I never say
them.
尽管在美国电影中似乎每个人都总是在咒骂，但在现实生活中，你应该当心咒骂的时候和场
合。时常咒骂的人会显得粗鲁、狂暴或是没有教养。你还要注意说话的对象，如果他们从来
不咒骂，而你却对他们讲粗鲁话，他们可能会感到震惊。就算是讲礼貌的人在十分愤怒或感
到挫败的时候也可能会说“Damn it!”或“Shit!”，但其他的词就非常粗鲁了，我从来都不
会说的。
A: I have some bad news.
（我有一些坏消息。）
B: Oh? What is it?
（哦？是什么？）
A: My husband just lost his job.
