英語聊天中要回避的雷區(qū)
在與他人閑聊時(shí)，我們常常會(huì)評(píng)論他人的外表，可有時(shí)說出的話卻違背我們的初衷，造成不必要的誤會(huì)，那可真叫啞巴吃黃連，有苦說不出啊。接下來，小編給大家準(zhǔn)備了英語聊天中要回避的雷區(qū),歡迎大家參考與借鑒。
英語聊天中要回避的雷區(qū)
Don't say: "You look tired."
Why: It implies she doesn't look good。
Instead say: "Is everything OK?" We often blurt the"tired" comment when we get the sense that the other person feels out of sorts. So just ask.
不要說"You look tired."(你看上去很累。)
這句話暗示了她看上去狀況不佳。
我們可以說"Is everything OK?"(你一切還好嗎?)我們會(huì)脫口而出"tired"這個(gè)詞是因?yàn)楦杏X到對(duì)方有些消沉，所以直接問原因吧。
Don't say: "Wow, you've lost a ton of weight!"
Why: To a newly trim person, it might give the impression that she used to look unattractive。一個(gè)讓你臉紅的微信：vipwyqh，臉紅也得加額!
Instead say: "You look fantastic." And leave it at that.If you're curious about how she got so svelte, add, "What's your secret?"
不要說"Wow, you've lost a ton of weight!"(哇塞，你減掉了N多斤啊!)
對(duì)一個(gè)剛恢復(fù)苗條的人來說，這句話給她的感覺是自己從前看上去很糟糕。想學(xué)習(xí)更多英語知識(shí)，請(qǐng)關(guān)注口袋英語aikoudaiyy
我們可以說"You look fantastic."(你看上去真棒。)，并且就此打住。如果你想知道她是如何變苗條的，那就加上一句"What's your secret?"(有啥秘訣呀?)
Don't say: "You look good for your age."
Why: Anything with a caveat like this is rude. It's saying,"You look great―compared with other old people. It's amazing you have all your own teeth."
Instead say: "You look great."
不要說"You look good for your age."(以你的年紀(jì)來說，你看上不錯(cuò)啊。)
任何像這樣帶有告誡意味的話語都是粗魯?shù)?。這就是在說：“跟其他老家伙比起來，你看上去不錯(cuò)。你那口牙竟然一顆沒掉，太令人驚訝了?！?/p>
我們應(yīng)該直接說"You look great."(你看上去很棒。)
Don't say: "I could never wear that."
Why: It can be misunderstood as a criticism. ("I could never wear that because it's so ugly.")
Instead say: "You look so good in skinny jeans." If you slip, say something like "I could never wear that...because I wasn't blessed with your long legs."
不要說"I could never wear that."(我可不會(huì)穿那樣的衣服。)
這話可以被誤解為批評(píng)：“那衣服太丑了，我才不要穿?！?/p>
我們應(yīng)該說"You look so good in skinny jeans."(你穿緊身牛仔褲很漂亮。)假如你不小心說漏了嘴，那就這么圓回來"I could never wear that...because I wasn't blessed with your long legs."(我是穿不了那褲子……因?yàn)槲覜]你那樣修長(zhǎng)的腿哎。)
擴(kuò)展：when，where，why引導(dǎo)的定語從句
when，where，why作為定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞，總稱為關(guān)系副詞。下面用句子合并的方法分析它們的使用。
一、where引導(dǎo)的定語從句
請(qǐng)分析下面兩個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句：
句①I know a garden.
句②You can find wild strawberries there.
把句②變?yōu)榫洧俚亩ㄕZ從句，句①中的agarden做定語從句的先行詞。在句②中there指句①中提到的agarden也就是定語從句的先行詞，there在句中做地點(diǎn)狀語，因此要用where引導(dǎo)定語從句，代替句②中的there，也就是說there就不能出現(xiàn)在定語從句中了。由此得到句③I know a garden where you can find wild strawberries.
句②還可以寫作句④You can find wild strawberries in it(it指句①中的garden，“在花園中”要使用介詞短語in the garden)。把句④變?yōu)榫洧俚亩ㄕZ從句，因?yàn)閕t做介詞in的賓語，先行詞是agarden，指物。在這種定語從句中介詞常常提到定語從句的開始，這時(shí)關(guān)系代詞只能使用which替代it，it就不能在定語從句中出現(xiàn)了。由此得到句⑤即：I know a garden in which you can find wild strawberries.
請(qǐng)把下面每組的兩句話合并為一句，把第二句話變?yōu)榈谝痪涞亩ㄕZ從句。
第一組：
This is the village.
I was born there.
→This is the village where I was born.
第二組：
The lab is not far from here.
The chemist often does experiments there.
→The lab where the chemist often does experiments is not far from here.
二、when引導(dǎo)的定語從句
請(qǐng)分析下面兩個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句：
句①We shall remember the days.
句②We studied together then.
把句②變?yōu)榫洧俚亩ㄕZ從句，句①中的the days做定語從句的先行詞。在句②中then指句①中提到的the days，也就是定語從句的先行詞，then在句中做時(shí)間狀語，因此要用when引導(dǎo)定語從句，代替句②中的then，也就是說then就不能出現(xiàn)在定語從句中了。由此得到句③We shall remember the days when we studied together.
句②還可以寫作句④We studied together during the days.(介詞短語during the days含義為“在這些日子里”)。把句④變?yōu)榫洧俚亩ㄕZ從句，因?yàn)閠he days做介詞during的賓語，先行詞是the days，指物，在定語從句中介詞during提前，用關(guān)系代詞which替代the days，the days就不能在定語從句中出現(xiàn)了。由此得到句⑤We shall remember the days during which we studies together.
請(qǐng)把下面每組的兩句話合并為一句，把第二句話變?yōu)榈谝痪涞亩ㄕZ從句。
第一組：
I've always longed for the days.
I should be able to be independent then.
→I've always longed for the days when I should be able to be independent.
第二組：
There are moments.
I forget all about it then.
→There are moments when I forget all about it.
三、why引導(dǎo)的定語從句
請(qǐng)分析下面兩個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句：
句①He wanted to know the reason.
句②I was late for the reason.
把句②變?yōu)榫洧俚亩ㄕZ從句，句①中的the reasons做定語從句的先行詞。因?yàn)閠he reason做介詞for的賓語，先行詞是the reason指物，在定語從句中介詞for提前，用關(guān)系代詞which替代the reason，the reason就不能在定語從句中出現(xiàn)了。由此得到句③He wanted to know the reason for which I was late.
注意：在定語從句中當(dāng)先行詞為the reason(s)，定語從句由for which引導(dǎo)時(shí)，可以用why代替for which。由此我們得到句⑤He wanted to know the reason why I was late.
請(qǐng)把下面兩句話合并為一句，把第二句話變?yōu)榈谝痪涞亩ㄕZ從句。
The reason is not very convincing1.
He came for the reason.
→The reason why he came is not very convincing.
The reason for which he came is not very convincing.
