10、样的。当然随着语气及情境的不同,Its not likethat.这句话也有可能是你用来硬拗的藉口。2. There is nothing good playing. 没好电影可看这里的 Theres nothing good playing.是接着问句而来的,指的是没有好电影可看。同样的,若是电视上没有好节目可看,你就可以说 Theres nothing good on TV.3.

Just right place, right time.只不过是天时地利而已。大多数的人想到幸运,都会直觉反应 lucky,但其实 lucky 有很多种表示法。像有一次我问老美怎么追到这么一个如花似玉的女朋友,他回答我,“Just right place, right time.“ 我一听就立刻联想到了
17、中文里的, 天时地利人和这句话,没想到英语里就这么简单,“Right place, right time.“ 就解决了。(或许应该再加上 right girl?) 所以我也开始不是只会说, “Im just lucky.“ 了。例如后来有一次老美问我为什么我有免费的 T 恤可拿,我就很潇洒地回答他,“Just right place, right time, no big deal.“ (只不过时间地点刚好对了而已,没什么大不了的。) 事后想起来,连自己都觉得很得意自己会这样回答。2. Same here.我也是。我想当大家看到中文我也是的时候,百分之九十九的人 “me too.“ 会立刻脱口
18、而出。甚至有些人还会说, “So do I.“ 但是说真的,老美是会说,“me too.“ 和 “So do I.“ 没错,但好象太平常了一点,(大概是因为这些用法我上国中的时候就知道了吧!)我觉得比较酷一点的讲法应该是,“same here.“ 它完完全全就等于 “me too.“ 例如上网聊天最后大家常会说,“All right. I have to go to bed now.“ (好吧,我该去睡觉了。) 这时对方就可以回答,“same here.“ 表示我也该睡觉了。另外 ditto 这个用法也流行过好一阵子。它的意思是,同上当然也就等于 “me too“ 的意思啦。 例如最有名的例子

The most important th
23、ing 吗?看这个吧“Its on the top of my list“。5、 “停电“ :No electricity?恩,够直白!其实提到“电“,老外更多是用power,停电就可以是 Ther is a power failure 或 Power goes out。6、 “我不是傻子!“ : I am not a fool?对,语法完全正确。但再看这个I am no fool。比上面的只少两个字母,但是不是感觉不一样?同样的道理,我们常说 I have no idea,而不常说 I dont have any idea。7、 short hairs:是说“短头发“吗?呵呵,它就是我们说的
24、“小辫子“!8、 “收买某人“ :有个比较正式的词叫 bribe,名词时为“贿赂“的意思,动词时就有“收买 “之意。既然提到了 “买“,那么我们能不能用上 buy 呢?当然,那就是 buy sb off。9、 She knew red was her color。“她知道红色是她的颜色“?恰当的翻译是:她知道自己和红色很相配。Then, whats your color?10、“看在主的份上,你就 .“:两种说法,其一是 For the love of God,另外 For Gods sake(sake 的意思是缘故、关系 )二者之中,后者更常用。 I have a sweet tooth.
