2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。 1.6:#

The price is right. (UxW;
Note:suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上,如:下列节目儿童不宜。The following programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。 _FWBUZ;N

What's your job? (fault) .Fp4:

Are you working at the moment? q?8|
[.
Note:what's your job 8#g1P4
这种说法难道也有毛病吗?是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业,如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子,所以您要问:目前您是在上班吗?Are you working at the moment?接下来您才问:目前您在哪儿工作呢?Where are you working these days?或者您从事哪个行业呢?What line of work are you in?顺带说一下,回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点,不要只是说经理或者秘书 0ik7v<:

How to say? (fault) :n-]>Q>5=k
How do you say this in English? ;4pYK@9w_
Note:How to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一,这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有:请问这个词如何拼写?How do you spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word? q0zr

5. 明天我有事情要做。 \vO,Ee~#W
I have something to do tomorrow? (fault) uu>Pkfo
Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow. @8I4[TE
用I have something to do来表示您很忙,这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做,躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙,脱不开身:I抦 tied up.还有其他的说法:I抦 I can't make it at that time. I'd love to, but I can't, I have to stay at home. ;N?]eM}yf

6. 我没有英文名。 m* kl

Note:许多人讲英语犯这样的错误,从语法角度来分析,可能是语法功底欠缺,因为have在这里是实义动词,而并不是在现在完成时里面那个没有意义的助动词。所以,这句话由肯定句变成否定句要加助动词。 ZG&>:Si;
明白道理是一回事,习惯是另一回事,请您再说几话:我没有钱;I don't have any money.我没有兄弟姐妹;I don't have any brothers or sisters.我没有车。I don't have a car. 71t*%

7. 我想我不行。 Ev}C<zk*
I think I can't.(fault) TJR:vr
I don't think I can. $[a8$VY^Cm
Note:这一组然是个习惯问题,在语法上称为否定前置,这就是汉语里面说?我想我不会?的时候,英语里面总是说?我不认为我会?。以后您在说类似的英语句子的时候,只要您留心,也会习惯英语的说法的。 0a XPPnuX

8. 我的舞也跳得不好。 SR|`!
I don't dance well too. (fault) @/ohg0
I am not a very good dancer either. P&^;656r

9. 现在几点钟了? Yz+ZY
What time is it now? (fault) rr02pM0
What time is it, please? M,\:<kNI
Note:What time is it now这是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子,讲英语的时候没有必要说now,因为您不可能问what time was it yesterday, 或者what time is it tomorrow?所以符合英语习惯的说法是:请问现在几点了?还有一种说法是:How are we doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适

10. 我的英语很糟糕。 Rx=>6,)'
My English is poor. (fault) lUMS;H(
I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving. oV|4V:G q
Note:有人开玩笑说,全中国人最擅长的一句英文是:My English is poor.实话说,我从来没有遇到一个美国人对我说:My Chinese is poor. 无论他们的汉语是好是坏,他们会说: I am still having a few problem, but I getting better. \6 Zr
当您告诉外国人,您的英语很poor,so what(那又怎么样呢),是要让别人当场施舍给我们一些英语呢,还是说我的英语不好,咱们不谈了吧。 [rV>57`YD
另外一个更大的弊端是,一边不停的学英语,一边不停地说自己的英语很poor,这正像有个人一边给车胎充气,又一边在车胎上扎孔放气。 4p,EBn9(
我坚信,先不谈别的,如果您现在就苦下功夫,把这本薄薄的《英语54321》吃通吃透,您的英语水平立即就会迅速的提高。所以您再也不用说:我的英语很poor. '|8} z4/g
您可以实事求是地说,我的英语还不算十分流利,但至少我在进步。

18. 这个春节你回家吗? ?R$F)g7<
Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival? qzKdQ&vO
是的,我回去。Of course! (这一句是错的) 2db3I:;E
当然。Sure. / Certainly.(这种说法是正确的) ZQ%'`q\c
以英语为母语的人使用of course的频率要比中国的学生低得多,只有在回答一些众所周知的问题时才说of course。因为of course后面隐含的一句话是?当然我知道啦!难道我是一个傻瓜吗??因此,of course带有挑衅的意味。在交谈时,用sure或certainly效果会好得多。同时,of course not也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not. ~-_kM
