Okay, our next expression: "I would argue that..." so again, we have "that", no comma.
好了,我們的下一個短語是"I would argue that...",同樣的,這里有"that",所以不加逗號。
"I would argue that the death penalty is not a good form of punishment."
"I would argue that the death penalty is not a good form of punishment."(我認(rèn)為死刑不是一種好的懲罰形式。)
Often times, the TOEFL may ask you if you agree or disagree with the death penalty.
托福考試中經(jīng)常會出題問你是否贊同執(zhí)行死刑。
You could use: "I would argue that the death penalty is the best way to deal with criminals."
你們可以說:"I would argue that the death penalty is the best way to deal with criminals."(我認(rèn)為死刑是對付罪犯最好的方式。)
So it all depends on your opinion, but you can either agree or disagree with this statement.
這都取決于你們自己的觀點,但是你們只能要么贊同這個觀點,要么不贊同。
Another way to say "I think...": "From my point of view," or "From my perspective," Okay?
另一種說"I think..."的方式是"From my point of view,"或者"From my perspective,"。
Notice we have a comma for both of these.
注意了,這兩個短語中都加了逗號。
"From my point of view," okay, so now I'm not going to use an IELTS or TOEFL example, I'm going to use a superhero example.
"From my point of view," 怎么用呢,現(xiàn)在我不用雅思或托福考試的例子了,我要用一個超級英雄的例子。
"From my point of view, Cyclops is a horrible superhero."
"From my point of view, Cyclops is a horrible superhero."(在我看來,獨眼巨人是個可怕的超級英雄。)
So again, just for anyone who likes to argue, this is a good one to use.
同樣的,對喜歡爭論的人來說,這是個很好的例子。
The last one is a very high formal way of saying your opinion: "I am inclined to believe that..."
最后一個短語是個表達(dá)觀點非常正式的用法:"I am inclined to believe that..."。
So you wouldn't use this with your friends,
在朋友之間你不會用這個短語,
if you have an argument with your friends, maybe you're talking about the best place to live in the world or the best place to travel to,
如果你和朋友產(chǎn)生了爭論,也許你們在討論世界上最適宜居住的地方,或者旅行的最佳地點,
if you said: "I'm inclined to believe that France is a great place to visit." your friends would find your language too formal.
如果你說"I'm inclined to believe that France is a great place to visit."(本人竊以為前往法國旅行甚好。)你的朋友會覺得你的措辭太正式了。
But you can use this in writing, in formal writing, if you're writing the TOEFL or the IELTS, you can use this expression.
但是在寫作中,在正式文體中可以用這個短語,如果你們在寫托福或雅思作文,可以使用這個短語。
And again, at the end we have "that", we don't have a comma. Okay?
還是一樣,在短語末尾有"that",所以不加逗號,知道了嗎?
So be aware that if you use any of these expressions with "that",
要知道,如果你們使用的是這些短語中帶"that"的,
when you write them you do not need a comma, whereas for the other ones that don't have "that",
那么寫它們的時候就不需要加逗號,但是如果是其他沒有"that"的短語,
use a comma and then write if you agree, or disagree, or what you think.
要加上逗號,然后再寫出自己贊同或不贊同,或者你們自己的想法。
