    憋了一肚子的话,却担心说不清楚?其实没你想的那么难。英语里有许多简单、好用的小短语,能帮你表达千言万语。快听Jenny、Spencer分享吧!

    关键词:

    英语有句俗话:

    A picture is worth a thousand words: 一张图胜过千言万语

    也有一些表达,让你一句胜千言。

    A word or phrase could also be worth a thousand words: 很多小词、小短语,也有这种神奇的功效

    Express a few full sentences or complex ideas in a word or a phrase: 能代替好多句、表达出复杂的意思

    卡住不知如何回答?

    用这些小短语!

    #1. No sweat #2. No biggie 没关系、别客气、举手之劳

    "No sweat" is a short version of "no sweat off my back."

    "No sweat" 是 "no sweat of my back" 的缩短版

    "sweat" 是流汗的意思,紧张的时候是不是会汗流浃背啊?

    这时候一句No sweat,就能让人平静不少。

    "No biggie" comes from "No big deal".

    "No biggie" 是从"No big deal" 演变而来,也是“不是个事儿”的意思。比如:

    怎么用?

    A: I'm sorry I'm running a few minutes late. 不好意思,我要迟到几分钟。

    B: No sweat. 没事的啦/不要紧。

    A: Thank you for your help.谢谢你帮我!

    B: No biggie. 小事一桩

    更多类似说法:

    Don't worry.

    No problem.

    No big deal.

    It's all good.

    #3. You bet! 当然啦、必须的!

    "You bet" is similar to "No sweat". But it also has other usages:

    "You bet" 和"No sweat"很像,但还有别的用法

    This phrase can be used in a variety of situations across the board: 很多广泛场景下都可以用

    怎么用?

    A: Do you like living in Shanghai? 你喜欢住在上海吗?

    B: You bet. I love it! 当然咯,我非常喜欢!

    A: Wasn't the performance last night awesome? 演出真精彩!

    B: You bet! 当然!

    A: Thank you for treating me to that performance. 谢谢你请我看演出。

    B: You bet. 别客气,很乐意。

    *Bet是赌博、猜测的意思*

    You can bet your money on something (it's a safe bet): 你可以堵, 而且这是一个安全、肯定的赌注

    #4. Totally 绝对的!

    Americans totally love using "totally": 美国人绝对很喜欢用“绝对的”

    Totally绝对是美国人的口头禅,用来表达认同和强调

    A:Her skirt is too short.她的裙子太短了。

    B:Totally. 就是啊!

    A:This hamburger is delicious.这个汉堡太好吃了。

    B:Totally. It's mouthwatering.绝对的!都是汁水。

    The term first came from valley girls: 这个表达最早是起源于“山谷女孩”。

    Valley girls are girls from Socal (Southern California) “山谷女孩”是难加州的女孩们,因为南加州被称为“山谷”

    #5. Literally 真的,毫不夸张的!

    "Literally" 也是美国人最爱的口头禅之一

    Literally means "actually", without exaggeration: literally的意思是“字面上讲”,指很真实、不夸张,用来强调真实性。

    但是实际使用起来却通常相反,超级夸张!

    对比一下:

    The office is so hot. I'm literally sweating. 办公室真热,我真的在流汗,一点都不夸张

    It's so hot in the office. I'm literally dying. 办公室真热,我是真的要热死了,一点都不夸张。(但明显就是夸张)

    还有一些词,比如"practically",用起来也同样矛盾。下次有机会跟大家分享。

    #6. Likewise 我也是

    I literally can't recommend this phrase more: 毫不夸张,我真的太推荐这个词了

    "Likewise" is used to agree with someone or express a mutual feeling: 它用来赞同别人的意见、或者表达同感

    It's very useful in social networking situations: 社交场合很有用

    It will help you sound very authentic: 它能帮你听上去很地道

    怎么用?

    A: It's a pleasure to meet you. 认识你很高兴

    B: Likewise. 我也是

    A: It's been great talking to you.跟你聊的很高兴

    B: Likewise. 我也是

    但是有种情况千万不能用!

    A: I love you! 我爱你。

    B: Likewise. 我也是。

    Don't say that! 有人跟你说我爱你,千万别回答“likewise”

    It's too cold and lighthearted: 太冷淡、太漫不经心了

    帮你长话短说的小短语

    #7. Long story short 长话短说

    If you don't want to go into too much detail, you can summarize or sum things up: 如果不想赘述很多细节,那可以概括总结一下。

    比如,Jenny常被问:

    A: When did you start OpenLanguage? How did you started OpenLanguage?

    你什么时候开始创办开言英语的?你怎么会创办开言英语的?

    B: We started three years ago. Long story short, we are the leading English podcast in China now. 我们三年前开始的, 长话短说, 现在开言是国内最受欢迎的英语播客之一

    如果觉得自己说得太多、或者说不下去了,

    Long story short 也非常适合!

    #8.In a nutshell 简单来说

    It's similar to "long story short": 这个短语和“long story short”很接近

    It can help you move the conversation forward. 可以帮你推进谈话

    Use "in a nutshell" if you want to skip detailed description or put a complex idea in simple words: 如果你不想讲很多细节、或者想把复杂的事情用简单的话表达,可以用这个短语

    It's a great snapshot: 是个很好的概括

    #9. The rest is history 其它的都已是历史(就不多说了)

    “The rest is history" is often used to describe past achievements: 常用来描述过去的成就

    怎么用?

    Steve Jobs started Apple in his garage with some computer parts and a little bit of passion. As they say, the rest is history: 乔布斯当年在自家车库靠一些零件和热情起步。

    其它的都已成为历史,言下之意就是大家都知道苹果后来成为了伟大的公司

    演讲时很常用

    Speech/public speaking: 演讲

    It's often used when people talk about a successful person or company: 常用来描述成功的人或公司

    Everyone knows their success now, so there's no need to go into details: 大家都知道他们的成就,不用说很多过程中的细节

    另外还有个说法,也有相同意思:

    Fastforward to today:快进到今天

    #10. Well said! 说得很好

    快用今天学到的小短语提高你的沟通效率吧!
