10. 我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor. I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving. Note:有人开玩笑说,全中国人最擅长的一句英文是:My English is poor.实话说,我从来没有遇到一个美国人对我

 

10. 我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor.

I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.

Note:有人开玩笑说,全中国人最擅长的一句英文是:My English is poor.实话说,我从来没有遇到一个美国人对我说:My Chinese ispoor. 无论他们的汉语是好是坏,他们会说: I am still having a few problem, but I getting better.当您告诉外国人,您的英语很poor,so what(那又怎么样呢),是要让别人当场施舍给我们一些英语呢,还是说我的英语不好,咱们不谈了吧。另外一个更大的弊端是,一边不停的学英语,一边不停地说自己的英语很poor,这正像有个人一边给车胎充气,又一边在车胎上扎孔放气。我坚信,先不谈别的,如果您现在就苦下功夫,把这本薄薄的《英语54321》吃通吃透,您的英语水平立即就会迅速的提高。所以您再也不用说:我的英语很poor.您可以实事求事地说,我的英语还不算十分流利,但至少我在进步。

11. 你愿意参加我们的晚会吗?Would you like to join our party on Friday?

Would you like to come to our party on Friday night?

Note:join往往是指参加俱乐部或者协会,如:join a health club; join the CommunistParty.事实上,常常与party搭配的动词的come 或者go.如go a wild party,或者come to a Christmas Party.

12. 我没有经验。I have no experience.

I am I don’t know much about that.

Note:I have no experience这句话听起来古里古怪,因为您只需要说:那方面我懂得不多,或者这方面我不在行,就行了。I am notreally an expert in this area.
