釋義:
I can tell you... 可以說(shuō)……也是……
比起對(duì)某事實(shí)給予斷言,不如加上 I can('t) tell you that 的包裝,委婉地傳達(dá)自己的意向。不過(guò) I can('t) tell you what (how) 等則表示“我(不)可以告訴你某事”。經(jīng)常會(huì)用到 I can('t) tell you that (可以那么說(shuō))的句型。
例句:
I can tell you that the prices of cars are a bit high.
我跟你說(shuō),汽車的價(jià)格有點(diǎn)高。
I can tell you what he's going to find.
我可以告訴你他會(huì)找到什么。
I can't tell you how sorry I am.
真不知道怎么表達(dá)我的歉意。
對(duì)話:
A: I really need to make some money fast.
我非常需要一些救濟(jì)的錢。
B: I can't tell you how to make money.
我可不能告訴你怎么賺錢。
