美国文化脱口秀 第470期:只会用I think表达想法?(在线收听

   很多英语学习者的困扰是只会用一个词表达想法。今天,我们就从“想法“出发,学几个日常超好用的表达方式。让你的英语更有想法!

  关键词:
  #1.“Think”你用对了吗?
  用think, 介词很重要!
  I think that...
  What do you think about something?
  如果语境清晰,则可以单独使用:
  What do you think?
  Ed Sheeran的歌名:
  Thinking out loud
  什么意思?
  把想法说出来给大家听、交换意见、头脑风暴。
  怎么用?
  Guys, just thinking out loud, why don't we try this approach?
  #2.Feel
  和Think相比,feel比较感性:
  Emotional: 感性
  Rational: 理性
  Thinking with your heart: 用心思考,感性
  Thinking with your head: 用大脑思考,理性
  Feel比think更婉转。
  对比这两句:
  I feel that our communication isn't going well:我觉得我们沟通有问题
  I think that our communication isn't going well:我认为我们沟通有问题
  注意问法:是how, 不是what:
  How do you feel about something? 你怎么想?你怎么看?
  #3.See
  See虽然是“看法”,但它更多用在对未来的设想:
  Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 你觉得自己5年后会怎么发展?
  Where do you see the situation going? 你觉得情况会怎么发展?
  #4.View
  和see相比,view更对应中文的“看”和“看法”,是一种判断:
  1) Judgment: 判断
  别忘了介词on:
  What's your view on something?
  What's your view on politics?
  What's your view on relationships?
  2) 既是名词,也是动词
  How do you view the situation? 动词
  What's your view of the situation? 名词
  #5.Take
  想不到take也是“想法”和“看法”:
  What's your take on something? 对一件事的看法
  Key takeaway: 重点知识
  还有一个俗语:
  Take it with a grain of salt: 长个心眼、不要全信
  只会用I think表达想法?
  #6.Guess
  想法有所保留的时候,用这两个词最适合不过了:
  1) Guess
  2) Suppose
  Guess中文翻译成“猜”,但比较生硬。
  中文里我们通常会用tone of voice(语气)来表达自己的保留。
  而在英语里,guess则是最自然、最恰当的。比如:
  A: Do you think we could leave earlier today? 你觉得我们今天能早点儿走吗?
  B: I guess we could. 应该可以吧。
  #7.Suppose
  Suppose比guess更有把握、也更书面一些:
  A: Do you think we could leave earlier today? 你觉得我们今天能早点儿走吗?
  B: I suppose we could. 我认为可以。
  #8.Reckon
  最后说一个英国和其它英联邦国家表达想法时常用的词:reckon
  它既有think的意思,也有guess和suppose的意思:
  I reckon:我认为、我觉得、我猜
