第一篇:地道口语:10句话教你对老外说“不”
1.I am sorry to turn you down.我很抱歉必须拒绝你。
Turn you down 就是拒绝别人的要求,例如有一次我要请老美去参加一个 party,她说她很抱歉无法参加,就是用的这句 “I am sorry to turn you down.” 另外像是男生要追女生,女生要拒绝他,也可以用 turn down,例如 “I am sorry but I have to turn you down.” 另外不要忘了,turn down 还有一个解释就是把音量或是冷气关小。以前我也常把 turn you down 和 let you down 搞混了,这二者是完全不同的意思,turn down 表示拒绝,而 let down 则表示让人家失望。
2.I am not interested.我没有兴趣。
刚来美国,家里又有电话的人一定要赶快把这句话学会,因为很快地就会有电话推销员找上门来,这时你要说的就是 “I am not interested.” 这样子对方就不会纠缠太久了。
通常在拒绝别人的时候要注意一下说话的语气。像这句 “I am not interested.” 听来就不太客气。通常要使得拒绝别人的话听来客气一点,只要在句首加上 “I am sorry.” 整句话的口气立刻就不一样了。所以礼貌一点的说法应该是 “I am sorry.I am not interested.” 听来是不是客气很多?
3.I'll think about it.我要考虑看看。这句话也是在买东西时候讲的,例如你去百货公司专柜买化装品,虽然专柜小姐讲了半天你也觉得还不错,但总觉得太贵,你就可以说 “OK, I'll think about it.” 就是我再考虑看看了!当然你就可以趁机脱身了。
4.I can't afford it.我付不起。
一样东西太贵你买不起就可以这么说 “I can't afford it.” 你都讲明了我没钱了,想必人家不会继续纠缠吧!其实不然,我自己就遇到过蛮恶劣的。我说 “I can't afford it.” 那个老黑居然说 “Do you have credit card?” 天啊!要我借钱买东西,门都没有,我就说 “No.” 没想到他更狠,说我们有自己的信用卡,你要不要现场申请一张,我们可以立刻给你 $1,000 的 credit.天啊!做生意作成这样,也太夸张了。
美国买东西都有所谓的 refund 制度,就是东西买完之后不满意都可以拿去退钱。有时候店员会问你(通常不会问)为什么要拿来 refund。通常你就可以直接了当地说 “I don't like it.” 或是 “It's too expensive.I can't afford it.” 5.I can't handle it.我应付不来。
这个 handle 跟 afford 的区别要分清楚,handle 指的是事情上应付不来,而 afford 多半指金钱上无法负担。像是上学期我跟我同学说 “I took too many courses, I can't afford it.” 她就回答我说 “You mean you can't handle it?” 所以handle 这个字和 afford 是不太一样的。再举一个例子,例如工作很多作不完,你就可以这么说 “There's too much workload here.I can't handle it.” 有时老中会说成 “I can't afford it.” 是不正确的用法。
6.I am really not in the mood.我真的没有什么心情。
Mood 解释成心情,没有心情你可以说成 “I don't have the mood.” 或是 “I am not in the mood.” 比如考试期间,别人还找你出去玩,你就可以这么拒绝他 “I am sorry.I am really not in the mood.” 非广告时间,我的个人网页叫 ICQ 心情点播站,(其实现在这个网站跟 ICQ 跟心情点播都没什么关系了,但我还是维持我原来的名称)而这个站的英文名字就是 ICQ Mood,听起来还可以吧?
7.There is nothing to talk about.没什么好说的。
当别人问你的问题你不想回答或懒得回答时就可以回答 “There is nothing to talk about.” 例如有人问你考试考几分,你自己考得太差而不想讲,就可以说 “There is nothing to talk about.” 另外一个类似的用法叫 “No comment.” 就是说无可奉告的意思。
在英语 There is nothing to V.可当作是一个片语来使用,解释成没什么好怎样怎样的,例如 There is nothing to worry about, 就是说没什么好担心的。记得看某部电影时小孩子问他爸爸,我们家的钱倒底够不够用,父亲就对小孩子说 “There is nothing for you to worry about.” 8.I really want to, but I got hundreds of things to do.我想去,可是我有好多好多事情要做。
别人邀请你参加他们的活动,就算你不想去,也不要直接了当地说 “No, I don't want to.” 这样子别人下次可能就不会找你了。试著用这种比较好的说法,先说 “I really want to” , 或是 “I really love to”, 再来才接著说 “but I got hundreds of things to do”.这样感觉上比较礼貌,也比较不会让别人觉得没面子。
9.I don't want to go and that's that.我不想去,就是这样。
That's that 通常是接在否定句后,意思是,就这样了,不必再多说了。这样的语气是很强烈的,通常听的人可能会不太高兴。有时电话推销员很烦人我也会跟他说 “That's that.” 也许一开始你只是很客气地说 “I am not interested.” 可是有些人就会不识相地一直说 “What do you want me to do to change your mind?” 这时我就会不客气地说 “I don't want it, and that's that.” 通常他就会知道你是真的烦了。
“That's that.” 这句话跟 “That's it.” 不太一样 “That's it.” 的意思是就这样吧,就这些吧,在点餐时会用的到。That's that 则是表示不想再跟对方谈下去了,同样的情况,你也可以这么说 “The conversation is over.” 我想这个意思也很明显了。
10.That's enough, anymore is just overkill.那就够了,再多一点也是多余的。Overkill 这个字在美国的口语就是多余的意思,它跟 kill 是一点关系也没有。在字典上我查不到“ 多余 ” 的意思,所以诸位看官也不要浪费时间去查字典了,但我请教过老美,这字的确是多余的意思。例如有一次跟一个老美打球,打了二局之后我问他还要不要再打,他 就说 “That's enough, anymore is just overkill.” 或是吃东西时你问别人还要不要再吃,如果别人吃不下了他就可以说 “No, thanks.That's overkill.”

实用口语教你如何跟老外聊天
今天凯撒国际英语的小编教您如何跟外国朋友聊天。如果你不了解外国人的文化习惯,那么你们可能聊天不会太愉快,如果你看完这篇文章,你会恍然大悟,原来和老外交朋友也是很容易的事。好啦,开始学习吧!
首先,电影、餐厅、公众事件、假期和电视节目(films, restaurants, public events, vacations and TV shows)这几个都是西方人乐于聊的东西,用它们作为聊天话题绝对没错,不用担心触到雷区~~此外,传说中外国人很喜欢谈论的天气也是可以拿来当话题的,不过有些人会觉得有点无聊就是了。
其次大家要了解,西方人还蛮喜欢给朋友建议的,所以如果你拿某件事儿来问他们,他们会很乐意给你答案的哟~~比方说:
Do you know if anything good is playing at the cinema right now?
你知道影院里现在有上映什么好电影吗?(“电影院”英国人说cinema,美国人则说movie theater)
I really want to find a good Italian restaurant;any suggestions? 我很想找到一家好的意大利餐馆,你有什么推荐吗?
I saw an advertisement on TV last night for that new show, Prison Break.Have you seen it?
昨晚我在电视里看到那部新剧《越狱》的广告,你看到了吗?
3.最后,要想把谈话继续下去,最好的办法就是多问问题啦!
比如你问,“Do you know any good Italian restaurants?”(你知道什么吃意大利菜的好地方吗?)对方却回答,“No, sorry—I don't really like Italian food.”(对不起我不知道,其实我不太喜欢吃意大利菜……)那你可以接着问,“Oh, ok.What kind of food do you usually go out for then?”(哦~~那你一般出去吃哪种菜呢?)这样就能比较顺利地把话题继续下去哦!

第五篇:脱离模版说地道托福口语
目前,托福口语在托福考试中是让中国考生望而生畏的一个部分,因为没有语言远景等一些原因,所以导致我们的口语能力并不理想。托福口语准备要怎么准备,以及托福口语特点都是帮助我们训练口语的重要部分。
托福口语难原因大部分是以下两点:
第一,中国学生缺乏英文的语言环境。
第二,心理因素。因为不敢说,不想说。
而对于模板,上海环球托福小编相信每个考生都会积累和搜集,但是,仅仅如此,很难在众多同学中脱颖而出。换位思考,对于考官,面对着众考生和那些堆砌的华丽模板,谁都会审美疲劳吧。所以,要让考官印象深刻,就得让自己的口语更地道。在这里上海环球托福小编给大家提出2点建议:
1.大量的去看口语书、多看原版电影,越生活化的越好
从电影中大量的搜集日常的对话,把它们说得要像说自己的名字那样娴熟,要说得像“What's your name? Thank you!"那样自然,然后你要对你的家人说,你不会对你的爸爸、妈妈说话也羞涩吧?你说出一句英文,你告诉他们你的中文意思就可以。
这样还能练习的你的中英互换。然后同样的句子,你对你最好的朋友说,因为她们不会笑话你说错了,谁都知道说好英语是件非常不错的事情。这样,针对不同的人说同样的话,慢慢地你会减少恐惧感,说话会比较自然、流利了。既然你能和别人说好中文,就一定能说好英文。
2.找一张自己最喜欢的原版电影
你把台词写出来,然后自己当演员,比如说像《罗马假日》,你就当那个公主,当你的大臣、还有偶然遇到的那个男主角和你说话的时候,你就做出公主的回答。一个人在家里练习,没人会笑话你的。
各种电影中有各种不同的英语口音,你又是在跟这些国际大牌明星对话,那是多么的了不得!大街上一个区区平常的外国人你还在意吗?“咱是跟大牌明星天天说话的主儿!”只要环境熟悉了,说话也就不紧张了。无非就是个熟练程度的问题。
还有,如果你真的碰到了外国人,刚开始紧张也很自然,外国人也是知道这点的。他们也会放慢语速和你交流的,说上几句适应了,你也就不紧张了,然后你告诉他(她)平时很少能和外国人交流,所以说英语势必会紧张一些,甚至有的不会说。他们能够理解。如果说他们不理解,你就直接说你那最纯正、最流利的汉语,说得他们晕头转向,照样很了不起!
以上就是平日中我们如何进行托福口语练习方法的介绍,学习语言就是要更加生活化,用语表达更加重要。所以托福口语学习也要更加注重生活化和表达能力的培养和锻炼。
