先回顧一下昨天學到的表達方式
打斷別人或請別人幫忙時,說:Excuse me
自我介紹時,說:My name is…或I am…
表示非常滿意而贊美:terrific wonderful , great,fantastic, marvelous,fabulous
It was nice meeting you =I was a pleasure meeting you. 較為正式的說法是:I’m happy/ glad to have met you . /glad to see /meet you.
感謝別人時,說:I appreciate your help./Thank you for your help./Thank you very much./Thanks a lot.
回答別人道謝時,My pleasure./ Anytime. /It’s a pleasure. /It’s all right. /You’re welcome. /Don’t mention it. /Not at all
今天的知識點
(1)Can you help me?
這是請求幫助時說的話。比較委婉的說法“Would you please give me some help?”或者說:“Can you give me a hand?”
(2)Can you tell me how to get to Linden Street, in Riverdale?
請問您可以告訴我怎樣去林登街嗎?
這是問路英語,還可以說:
Can you tell me the way to……
Would you please tell me how should I get to……
(3)Don't worry.The traffic is very heavy at this hour.
表示交通擁擠
其他說法:The traffic is busy at this hour./It's rush hour.
(4)It's six 0'clock.
表示時間的。注意幾個時間的說法:八點半:half past eight 五點五十五:five fifty-five/five minutes to six
八點十五:a quater past eight
(5) I think it looks terrific on you.
夸獎別人穿衣服漂亮。
還可以說:You look beautiful in the sweater.
(6)I really appreciate it,Marilyn.
我實在太感謝你(為我所做的這一切)了,Marilyn。
表示感謝的話:I appreciate your help./Thank you for your help./Thank you very much./Thanks a lot.
(7)Thanks,anyway.
無論如何,我還是要謝謝你。如果別人感覺到沒能幫到你的忙時,可能會表示歉意,但是你無論如何要謝謝人家。
還可以說,Thank you all the time.
另外本文還出現了一個地址: "Richard Stewart, 46 Linden Street, Riverdale. New York."這是一般地址的說法。如果寫在信上,應為:

Riverdale, New York, N. Y. xxxxx (郵政編碼) U.S.A.
