英语口语中一般现在时的妙用英语口语中一般现在时是最基本的时态之一,常用于表达经常性的行为、客观事实以及习惯等。
然而,在日常对话中,我们可以巧妙地运用一般现在时来增添语境的丰富性,使得表达更加生动有趣。
本文将从不同的角度分析一般现在时的妙用,并给出相应的例句。
1. 描述习惯和规律一般现在时最常见的用法是描述习惯和规律。
比如,当我们想要描述一个人的日常行为时,可以使用一般现在时来表达。
例如:- He often goes to the gym after work.(他下班后经常去健身房。
)- I usually have a cup of coffee in the morning.(我通常早上喝一杯咖啡。
)这样的句子可以让对话更具细节,并使描述更加真实感。
2. 表达客观事实一般现在时也可以用来表达客观事实,即普遍性的真理或永久性的情况。
例如:- The sun rises in the east.(太阳从东方升起。
)- Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.(水在100摄氏度沸腾。
)这些句子表达了客观事实,使得对话更有权威性和可信度。
3. 表达现时状态一般现在时也可以用来描述目前的状态或情况。
例如:- I live in New York.(我住在纽约。
)- They work at a coffee shop.(他们在一家咖啡店工作。
)这些句子表达了目前所处的状态或位置,给对话带来了清晰的背景信息。
4. 给出提示或指导一般现在时还可以用来给出提示或指导,特别是在说明步骤或给予建议时。
例如:- First, you pour the milk into a bowl. Then, you add the cereal.(首先,你把牛奶倒入碗里。
然后,加入谷物。
)- If you want to lose weight, you eat less and exercise more.(如果你想减肥,你要少吃多运动。
英语笔记-Off 的妙用2014-3-3 9:00 类别:英语口语来源:enguo 责编:meten我时常会提醒自己,能够用一个字表达的意思就不要用二个字,虽然少说一个字只节省你零点一秒的时间,但那还是省下来的零点一秒。
如果你一辈子少说了三万六千个字,你就等于多活了一个小时。
怎么样,听起来还不赖吧?美语中就有这么一个字可以让你多活一个小时,哪一个字呢?就是Off这个字。
比如说同样一句"今天我不用上班",你说"I don't have to work today."我说"I am off today."哪一个听起来比较顺耳呢?相信你已经知道答案了吧!1.I am off today.我今天不用上班。
一讲到上班或是工作,许多人的直觉反应就是work,所以"我今天不用上班"这句话说出来很容易就变成"I don't have to work today."但事实上呢?老美习惯上会用off来代表一个人不用工作,或是某家店不开张。
例如"I am off."就是我不上班,而"We are off today."则可以用来指"今天我们不开张。
"2.She lives off campus.她住在校外。
这是另一个用off用得很漂亮的例子。
我刚来美国时常常会把住在校外翻成,live outside the campus.相信这也是许多人的通病。
其实老美就简简单单用一个off campus就代表校外,on campus就代表校内。
我再举一个简单的例子,例如你想跟别人说我要搬出去校外住,这句话用口语的说法就是"I want to move off campus."另外要是有老美跟你说,"I live off Buford Highway."这句话又是什么意思呢?由于Buford Highway是一条路的名字,我想当然是不会有人住在马路中间吧!所以在这里off Buford Highway就是指离开这条马路有一段距离的地方,要到他们家可能要先经过这条Buford Highway,之后可能再转进一条小路再开一阵子。

Websites and apps such as HelloTalk, Tandem, and iTalki connect language learners from around the world. These platforms provide opportunities to engage in one-on-one conversations with native English speakers through voice or video calls. Additionally, they offer language exchange features, where you can connect with other learners and practice speaking skills together.4. Role-PlayingRole-playing is an effective technique to practice English conversation in various scenarios.

【导语】络聊天时,因为你所说的事情跟她有关时,所以她会很强烈的想知道到底是什么。
今天主要给⼤家分享络聊天中有哪些英语⼝语,希望对你们有帮助!【篇⼀】络聊天中有哪些英语⼝语 1. May I have your name, please?(请问尊姓⼤名?) 2. Take care of yourself.(⾃⼰当⼼/照顾好你⾃⼰。
) 3. Thank you for everything.(谢谢你的多⽅关照/你为我所做的⼀切。
) 4. You're everything to me.(你是我的⼀切!) 5. Money will come and go.(钱乃⾝外之物。
) 6. I mean it.(我是认真的。
) 7. It's hard to say.(难说。
)【篇⼆】络聊天的英语⼝语 1.hi, there. 嗨, 你好。
⾸先来谈谈在路上聊天的基本⼤原则。
上聊天凡事要尽可能简单。
因为打字的速度远不若说话的速度快, 所以能简写的简称的就要尽可能去简化。
例如平常⽼美见⾯打招呼最常⽤的是, 'how are you doing?' 或是 'how are you?' 但在路上⽐较常见的则是, 'hi!' 或是 'hello.' 如果是认识的⼈, 则在 'hi!' 或 'hello.' 之后加上名字, 例如, 'hi! claire.' 或是 'hello! claire' 如果是不认识的⼈, 则⽤ 'hi! there.' 或是 'hi! you.' 2.a/s/l? 年龄/性别/所在地? 如果你是第⼀次跟⽼美聊天, 他们通常都会先问你 a/s/l (即age/sex/location).有些⼈更懒, 连中间那⼀杠都不打, 直接打asl? 意思虽然完全⼀样, 但是如果你之前没看过这样的⽤法, 包准你是很难猜出 asl 是什么意思。
英语口语妙用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。
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。
“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。
如:久仰,“I get mind of you ”比“I heard a lot about you.”轻松得多。
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。
”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。
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。
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。
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!)。
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,相比之下,最后一个句型是最地道的。
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。
遇到你不懂的问题时可别不懂装懂,“I know”可能是中国,我敢保证,他不会再跟你说什么了。
用“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。
1. ABC corporation. May I help you?ABC 公司, 我能帮你什么吗?这句话算是制式的讲法. 一般接起电话的人通常会先报公司的名字"ABC corporation", 然后再说, "May I help you?" 或是如果要更客气一点的话则可以说"How can I help you?" (我该怎么帮你?), 因为这样的问法表示我…该‟怎么帮你, 而非我…需不需要‟帮你? 但基本上"May I help you?" 跟"How can I help you?" 都很常见就是了.不过如果是机器接的电话, 则听到的多半是这样, "Thanks for calling ABC corporation, if you know your party's last name or extention, press 1. If you want to recieve information or publication, press 2. If you want to talk to the operator, press pound sign or remain on the line." (感谢你打电话到ABC 来, 如果你知道你要找的人的姓或是分机号码, 请按1, 如果是想要本公司的简介或出版品, 请按2, 如果是要找总机, 请按#, 或是请别挂断.2. And you are?你是?如果人家打电话来是要找你的上司, "May I talk to your manager?" (我能不能跟你们经理讲话?) 这时你总不能糊里糊涂地就把电话拿给经理说, 说不定人家是打电话来跟你经理勒索一百万的呢! 所以通常我们一定要先确定打电话来的是谁. 最客气的问法是, "Whom I am speaking with?" 或是"Whom am I talking to?" (我正在跟谁讲话呢?) 但是人家一听是像我这种小毛头打电话找他们经理, 他们就会用比较口语的说法, "And you are?" (你是?) 如果人家这样问我, 我就可以答, "This is Benlin."像是"And you are?" 这么口语的英文书上大概学不到, 但这却是老美天天在用的句子, 只怕你学了之后还不敢用. 其实真的不用怕. 越简单的句子老美越听得懂. 而且事实上"And you are?" 这句话还有许多适用的场合, 例如在公司的接待处(reception). 来访的客人如果说, "I'm looking for Mr. Wolf." (我要找伍夫先生) 接待小姐就可以反问他, "And you are?" (你是?) 所以像这种简单又好用的句子大家一定要记起来喔!3. I'll put her on the phone. Just a second.我会请她听电话, 请等一下。
Put someone on the phone 这个片语就是说请某人听电话. 例如你打电话找你女朋友, 结果女朋友的同事接了电话, 就开始跟你东扯西扯, 问你们昨天是不是吵架了啊? 什么时候要结婚啦, 这时如果你实在不想跟她讲了, 就可以说, "Could you please just put her on the phone?" (你能不能请她来听电话啊?) 反过来如果今天是你接到了电话, 结果要找的是别人, 你就可以说, "Ok. I'll put her on the phone. Just a second." (好, 我会请她听电话, 请稍等一下.) 上面讲的put someone on the phone, 指的多半是只有一只电话时, 但如果像公司里有许多分机, 则用…转接‟ transfer 或是redirect. 会比较恰当. 例如同样的情况你可以说, "I'm transferring your call." 或是"I'm redirecting your call." (我帮你转接到分机给她.) 如果是接线生转接的话, 他们有时就只简单地说, "One moment, please." 或是, "OK. I'll put you through."4. Would you mind holding for one minute?你介不介意稍微等一分钟啊?在美国如果有机会打电话给客户服务(Customer Service)部门, 如果没意外的话都会听到以下的电话录音, "All of our representitives are currently busy serving their customers. Your call will be answered in approximate 5 minutes" (我们所有的客服人员都在忙着服务他们的顾客, 请等五分钟后, 就会有人接听你的电话), 然后十分钟过去了, "Please continue to hold, your call is very important to us." (请继续等候, 你的来电对我们非常重要). 所以大家要知道, 老美基本上对这种无止境的等待是深恶痛绝的. 所以要记得, 如果人家打电话来, 千万不要因为听不懂就说, "Hold on", 然后就跑去求救兵, 这对打电话来的人是十分不礼貌的.如果万不得已一定要请他稍候, 我们要客气一点地说, "Would you mind holding for one minute?" 所以记得要给对方一个明确的时间, 例如one second 或是five minites 不要让对方无止境地等下去. 但是如果一分钟到了你还没忙完, 则最好再说一次, "Sorry, I am still on the phone. Could you hold for another minute?" (对不起, 我还在讲电话, 能不能再请你稍候一分钟.)5. He's out for lunch. Would you like to try again an hour later?他出去吃午餐了, 你要不要一小时后再打来?受到中文的影响, 许多人要讲某人…出去‟吃午餐了常会说成, "He went out for lunch." 其实这个went 是多余的, 通常老美只讲be out for something 就行了. 如果要再简化一点, 单说, "He is on lunch." 或是"He is on (lunch) break." (他正在休息时间.) 这样子也可以.如果别人要找的人不在, 通常我们有二种选择, 第一种是请别人晚点再打来, 除了像例句用try again/ call again之外, 我们也可以用call back/ try back 这样的讲法. 例如你可以建议别人, "Why don't you call back in 30 minutes?" (你何不30 分钟后再打来呢?) 第二种选择就是请对方留言, 客气一点的讲法是, "May I take your message?" 或是"Would you like to leave a message?" (你想留言吗?)。
