长元音拉长

It’s my treat this time. 今天我请客。
A: please have a seat. 请坐。
B: Thank you. 谢谢。
<疯狂评论> 中国人学了这么多年英语,其实连“请坐”都不会说。在美国没有人会说“Sit down, please!”这句话听起来命令口气太浓!
This sentence sounds like a military order. It’s too bossy and commanding. It also sounds like you have no control over the crowd in a public speaking situation. The suggestion “please have a seat.” Sounds much better.
A: We believe-in you.
B: I appreciate your support.
A: Sweet dreams.
B: You too.
<疯狂评论> 这是疯狂英语学习者独特的再见方式。一般人只会说“Bye-bye”。
A: Why is he so happy today?
B: He dreamed a sweet dream last night.
