“排队”用英文怎么说?
人山人海 People mountain people sea
那么,“排队”用英语该怎么表达?
也许大家会说 Wait for your turn,
但真的是这么表达的吗?
下面我们来扒一扒,
那些我们习以为常的中式英语,都有哪些?
01.
请排队等候
Wait for your turn, please.
在口语当中,歪果仁不会加介词 for
而它的正确说法,非常简单就是:
Wait your turn, please
这里 wait 用作及物动词
“等你归来” 就是 wait your return.
If people were more polite, they would wait their turn.
假如人们更讲礼貌的话,他们就会按顺序等候。
How many times I got to tell you to wait your turn!
让我跟你讲多少遍,请排队等候!
02.
某国家的首都在哪里?
Where is the capital of ... ?
经常听朋友们说 Where is the capital of XXX?
其实这样的表达也是中式英语
是一种不地道的表达,外国人根本听不懂。
因为在中文表达里,
我们习惯问某国首都在哪里?
而英语里,歪果仁习惯直接说 :
What is the capital of XXX
- What is the capital of China?
中国的首都是哪个城市?
- Beijing is the capital of China.
中国的首都是北京。
What is the capital of the state you live in?
您所在州的首府在哪里?
03.
我很喜欢那里
I like there very much
一位朋友在讲述他去过的城市时,
说道:I like there very much.
注意!歪果朋友可能从没听过 I like there 这种表达哦~
因为英语里根本没有这类的表达,
如果,你要说我很喜欢那里。
正确的表达是:I liked it.
Last year I went to New York. And I liked it very much.
去年我去了趟纽约,我很喜欢那里。
或者可以直接说喜欢某一个地方:
I really like this township, where people are friendly.
我很喜欢这个小镇,那里的人都很友好。
04.
爱喝浓茶
to drink thick tea
在英语中,thick 表示 “厚的、浓密的”
但是,喝浓茶真的这么说么?
No,abusolutely not!
歪果仁喜欢用 strong 或者 light 形容茶或者喝酒的味觉
,类似中文喜欢用 “浓”或“淡”
所以,千万别套中式思维啊~
正确说法是:to drink strong tea
My father used to drink strong tea every morning.
我爸爸以前每天早晨喝一杯浓茶。
I seldom get any sleep after I drink strong tea.
我喝过浓茶就几乎睡不着觉。
05.
总额多少?
What is the total sum?
total 是“总共” 的意思,sum 是 “合” 的意思
Total sum = 总合?
英语口语中,可不这么说!
一般歪果仁会说:
How much does it come to?
这个总额是怎么来的?
That sounds reasonable. It's quite a bargain.
How much does it come to altogether?
这听起来很合理。这倒真便宜。总共多少钱?
06
我有个问题要问你
I have a question to you
看起来这个表达很对,是不是?
但是歪果仁根本听不懂,
正确的说法应该是:
I have a question for you.
或者一定要用 to 的话,可以说:
I have a question to ask you.
- Excuse me, Professor O'Neill
不好意思,奥尼尔博士
- I have a question to ask you.
我有个问题想请教您。
Now I have a question for you.
现在我要问你一个问题。
