<p>当别人在你旁边罗嗦个没完，你烦透了，说“You are so boring “.(你真烦！)。“Shut up !”（闭嘴！）自然没错，可人家受得了吗？不如来一句“Oh, come on .Give me a break !” (帮帮忙，让我歇歇吧！)这多地道、多幽默。</p><p>要想说人“气色好”。“You look fine !”当然不错，可如果你说”You’re in the pink !”就妙得多了，实际上，在英语口语中，表示颜色的词用起来非常形象生动。</p><p>“他精力充沛”美国人说：“He is bouncy.”而不说“He is energetic ”,牢记一些日常对话中的活句式是你一把必备的钥匙。<br/>如：久仰，“I get mind of you “.比”I heard a lot about you.”轻松得多。</p><p>代问他人好当然能用”Please remember me to your sister .” 或”Please give my best wishes to your father ”不过，若是很好的朋友，何不说，“Please give my love to Jim。”</p><p>在中国可不能随便说“我想你”，然而，当和西方人分手时说“I will miss you .”要比说“Good-bye”或“See you soon”有趣得多，不妨一试。</p><p>有人开会迟到了，你若对他说 “You are late .”，听起来象是废话，若说“Did you get lost ?”，则更能让他歉然，可别说成“Get lost!”那可是让人滚蛋的意思。</p><p>别人征求你的意见，问能否开窗户等，你要说“You can do that .”就有点土了，用一句“Do you have the time? ”实际上，问他人的姓名，地址都可以这么用：“May I have you name?“要比”What’s your name ? ”礼貌得多，不过警察例外。</p><p>别人问你不愿公开的问题，切勿用“It’s my secret ,Don’t ask such a personal question .”回答，一来显得你没有个性，二来也让对方尴尬。你可以说“I would rather not say .”（还是别说了吧！）。</p><p>有时候，你想说什么，可说是想不起来，你可以说“Well …”“Let me see”“Just a moment ”或“It’s on the tip of my tongue.”等，想比之下，最后一个句型是最地道的。</p><p>交谈时，你可能会转换话题，不要只说“By the way ”,实际上，“To change the subject”“Before I forget”“While I remember”“Mind you ”都是既地道有受欢迎的表达。</p><p>遇到你不懂的问题时可别不懂装懂，“I know”可能是中国人用得最多，而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时，你如果连说两遍“I know”可能是中国人用得最多，而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时，你如果连说两遍“I know”,我敢保证，他不会再跟你说什么了。用“I know ”或“I got it ”就顺耳得多，要是不懂就说“I’m not clear about it .”不过如果你会说“It’s past my understanding”或“It’s beyond me .”你的教师定会惊讶不已的。</p><p>要想将地道习语熟练地运用于口语，下面内容，不可不读：</p><p>☆ a black sheep 败家子<br/>绵羊一般为白色，一旦成了黑色的绵羊，一定是个“败类”。<br/>Eric is a black sheep ,splashing one million dollars in a few years .<br/>艾瑞克是个败家子，几年就挥霍了一百万美金。</p><p>☆ A rough diamond 内秀外粗的人<br/>Rough diamond 指“没加工的钻石”，用来指内秀外粗的人，真是妙语！<br/>{脱口说}<br/>The guy is really a rough diamond , and he can get everything right ,although he is a little bit careless .<br/>这家伙真的是个外粗内秀的人，他什么都能搞定，虽然他有点大大咧咧的。</p><p>☆ Be level-headed (calm and relaxed) 头脑冷静的人<br/>可别以为 level-headed 是“小平头”，“平头”的英语说法是“crew cut”,他留了个平头——He wears his hair in a crew cut .<br/>{脱口说}<br/>My boss ,John Smith ,is the most level –headed man I’ve ever known .<br/>我的老板约翰.史密斯是我见过的头脑最冷静的人。</p><p>☆ A greaseball (greasy guy ) 油腔滑调的人，“老油条”<br/>Grease 油脂的意思，greaseball 的意思是涂满油脂的球，专指那些油腔滑调的人，这类人近似于我们常说的“嘴太贫”的人。<br/>{脱口说}<br/>Mary’s boyfriend is such a greaseball , I don’t know why she is so crazy about him .<br/>玛丽的男友是个油腔滑调的家伙，我不明白为什么她如此地迷恋他。</p><p>☆ Weigh on one’s mind 心事重重<br/>{脱口说}<br/>Do you know what has happened to her recently? She seems to have something that weighs heavily on her mind these days<br/>你知道她最近发生了什么事吗？她看起来心事很重。</p><p>☆ Be green-eyed (be jealousy) 嫉妒的“红眼病”<br/>源自莎士比亚名剧《奥赛罗》第3幕第3场中的台词“O! be ware , my lord ,of jealousy;/It’s the green-eyed monster… …“<br/>中国人嫉妒时，是“红眼病”，英美国家的人则“绿了眼”，有意思。在美国，有时直接用green表示嫉妒。<br/>When I got the well-paid job in a foreign company , my friends were somewhat green with envy .<br/>当我在一家外企找了份收入丰厚的工作时，我的朋友都有点嫉妒我。<br/>☆ Your doggy looks quite lovely , doesn’t he ?<br/>（你的狗宝宝看上去真可爱！）</p><p>☆ Excuse me ,but your blue coat is pretty beautiful ,Where did you buy it ?<br/>(打扰你了。你的蓝上衣真是漂亮，哪儿买的？)</p><p>在同外国人士交往过程中，你要注意别人的外表是否有了大的变化或添了新的装饰，如新发型、新衣服、首饰等。然后加以适当的赞美,但无须过分,否则就有虚情假意之嫌.即便是对方外观没有大的改观，但比平时略显精神，你也可以说，</p><p>☆ “Ben, you look very good today.”或Ben ,you’re looking energetic these days .”<br/>(本，你近来显得活力十足。)</p><p>在美国，对别人新添置的物品都要习惯地加以赞美，如</p><p>☆ “Hey, I’m crazy about your new bicycle.”<br/>(嘿，我真喜欢你的新自行车。)</p><p>☆ “Your new dress has brilliant color!”<br/>(你的新衣服颜色真鲜艳！)</p><p>如果被邀请去参观朋友的住宅、办公室或公司，对其加以赞美就是比不可少的了。</p><p>☆ “I can’t imagine you have such a splendid house !”<br/>(真不敢相信你竟有这么豪华的房子。)</p><p>☆ “How nice your office looks “<br/>（你的办公室看上去不错。）</p><p>要知道，没人不爱听这些。</p><p>不过在吃饭时，外国人对你菜肴的赞美往往只是礼貌，即使他们吃不惯，他们也会说“The dish is delicious ”可不要拿出中国人的豪爽，没完没了给他夹菜，浪费了不说，还常常弄得对方难堪。</p><p>表达赞美时需要注意以下情况：</p><p>1、赞美一两句即可，当别人表示感谢之后就可打住，或进入别的话题。</p><p>2、若别人向你展示新买的衣服等，即便你对它感觉不如意，也要尽量发现你感兴趣的地方，如颜色、样式等加以赞美。</p><p>3、中国人很少当面夸赞别人的妻子长得如何漂亮，而在西方文化中， 对别人妻子的赞美是活跃气氛并且很受欢迎的。不过，赞美之后，你的眼睛久久不能从那女士的脸上挪开，可就另当别论了。</p><p>4、赞美别人的首饰或衣服之后不要画蛇添足，<br/>问她一句，“It must be very expensive. How much is it?”（这一定很贵吧。多少钱啊？）</p><p>5、无论别人怎样赞美你，你只要一句“Thanks a lot.”就足以达到交流的效果，无须中国式的谦虚，“No, No”，会让赞美你的人莫明其妙，甚至认为你怀疑他的审美观有问题。</p><p>6、美国老师上课时大多慈悲为怀，只要学生开口，无论怎样信口开河或者牛头不对马嘴，老师都会说“Good job!”；“Very nice!”；“Ok, you have a creative answer”；“What an original opinion!”。这既能鼓励学生，又能激发学生参与的积极性。这可是中国老师不妨学学的地方。</p><p>7、在英美国家的各种聚会上，女士们常夸赞自己的丈夫有能力，夸赞自己的孩子如何聪明可爱；男士们也常夸赞自己的妻子温柔可人，夸赞自己的老板如何地重用自己，这既能活跃气氛，又能尽显自己人性美的一部分。若有机会你参加外国人的ball（舞会），你也不妨收起你的谦虚，将你的赞美适时适度地表达出来。<br/><br/>break one's heart</p><p> 由break 和beart构成的词很多，如：hearbreak(极度伤心); hearbreaking(使心碎的)，heat-broken(极度伤心的) ，大家可能注意到都是和"伤心"有关，break one's heat 就是指伤透某人的心。</p><p>实战运用：</p><p>A：You look so sad ! what happened<br/>B: I broke up with my girl friend yesterday<br/>A: Did you ? I had the same experience ,It almost broke my heart .<br/>B : But luckily you're all right now .</p><p>brush to one side</p><p> brush的意思是"推、拂"从字面上看，该习语的意思是："把… …拂到一边去，"，由此引申为"不屑一顾"</p><p>实战运用：</p><p>A : Helen's become so proud since she married that rich man .<br/>B : I once talked with her ,but she brushed all my suggestion to one side .<br/>A : She'll ask for it .<br/>B: Sure .</p><p>butt in</p><p>butt 有"冲、撞、冒冒失失地开"的意思。在美国俚语中，butt in 指"干涉、插嘴"。</p><p>实战运用：</p><p>A: Don't butt in ,You're still wet behind the ears You know nothing about our business.<br/>B: Why don't you let me air my opinions ? I have no say in this house .<br/>A : What do you know about our business ? Your mum and I have been in trouble .<br/>B: That's why I wanted to know what the trouble is I might be of some help .</p><p>by the way<br/><br/>这句话很简单,也很常用：顺便问一下</p><p>实战运用：<br/>A：Do you often keep in touch with Jane ?<br/>B: Yeah ,we call each other if we have time .<br/>A: I haven't seen her for a long time<br/>B :She changes a lot .<br/>A: I saw her last night ,By the way ,do you know ,she's married ?<br/>B: Yea ,with Johnson .<br/>A: It's a little bit surprising ,isn't it ?<br/>B: Yes ,indeed .</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>最hot的词汇，最in的句子，最自然的表达，最地道的口语</p><p>1、 Be on one's high horse 趾高气扬</p><p>2、 Fight tooth and nail 猛烈作战</p><p>3、 Out of sight and out of mind 眼不见心不烦</p><p>4、 Face the music 临危不惧</p><p>5、 as busy as a bee 极忙碌</p><p>6、 No pains , no gains 不劳无获</p><p>7、Black and blue . 遍体鳞伤</p><p>8、Every dog has his day 人皆有得意时</p><p>9、A green hand 生手</p><p>10、Walls have ears 隔墙有耳</p><p>11、Chewing gum 口香糖</p><p>12、On top of the world 心满意足</p><p>13、A black sheep 害群之马</p><p>14、A piece of cake 轻松的事</p><p>15、Look before you leap 三思而后行</p><p>16、Easier said than done 说起来容易做起来难</p><p>17、Better half 配偶</p><p>18、Be all ears 全神贯注地倾听</p><p>19、Failure is the mother of success 失败乃成功之母</p><p>20、Serve one right 活该</p><p> </p><p>1、Is that so?真是那样吗？</p><p>2、Don't play games with me!别跟我耍花招！</p><p>3、don't know for sure.我不确切知道。</p><p>4、I'm not going to kid you.我不是跟你开玩笑的。</p><p>5、That's something. 太好了，太棒了 。</p><p>6、Brilliant idea! 这主意真棒！</p><p>7、Congratulations.恭喜你，祝贺你。</p><p>8、Thanks anyway.无论如何我还是得谢谢你。</p><p>9、It's a deal.一言为定。</p><p>10、Mind you!请注意！听着！</p><p>11、You can count on it.你尽管相信好了，尽管放心。</p><p>12、I never liked it anyway.我一直不太喜欢这东西。 13、That depends.看情况再说。</p><p>14、Do you really mean it? 此话当真？</p><p>15、You are a great help.你帮了大忙 。</p><p>16、I couldn't be more sure. 我再也肯定不过。</p><p>17、I am behind you.我支持你。</p><p>18、I'm broke.我身无分文。</p><p>19、After you.你先请。</p><p>20、I just couldn't help it.我就是忍不住。</p><p><font color="#006666" size="3"></font> </p><p>1、Don't take it to heart. 别往心里去，</p><p>2、We'd better be off.我们该走了</p><p>3、Let's face it. 面对现实吧</p><p>4、Let's get started.咱们开始干吧</p><p>5、I'm really dead. 我真要累死了</p><p>6、I've done my best. 我已尽力了</p><p>7、I couldn't care less.我不在乎</p><p>8、I couldn't agree more我完全同意</p><p>9、I couldn't please you more 我尽量使你高兴</p><p>10、No bones about it. 真实的，诚恳的</p><p>11、take it on me！这是我的，请用吧</p><p>12、 You never know. 天晓得</p><p>13、 You may say that again.我同意</p><p>14、If you insist.恭敬不如从命</p><p>15、You can count on me.</p><p>16、I wish I could.我不行</p><p>17、I mean it.我是认真的</p><p>18、I am not kidding.</p><p>19、That's really sth. 真了不起</p><p>20、I'll be back.我会回来的<br/> </p><p>钻石句型</p><p><br/> 1、When reports came into London zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London，they were not taken seriously.<br/>据伦敦消息报道，一只野生的美洲狮在距伦敦南面45英里处被发现，这些报告并没有受到重视。<br/> 2、It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered.<br/>当她看见美洲狮时，美洲狮立刻掉头而逃，椐专家证明，美洲豹除非被逼得走投无路，是决不会伤人的。 3、It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.<br/>想到在宁静的乡村里有一关危险的野兽继续逍遥流窜，真令人担心。</p><p> 4、It must have been in the possession of a private collector.<br/>它一定是属于一位私人收藏家的。</p><p> 5、I want give you a surprise.
