1. I very like it5 t2 X, A7 W+ z
R: I like it very much.
# s( g. w8 r# \/ ~3 ^
3 s2 [" x! r) c+ z2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。& a) H- G: x- H+ }2 z% E2 i. g" k
The price is very suitable for me.
9 f5 V' a' L( t* `( w3 e6 A9 H- y R: The price is right., `2 i3 a/ N `5 h4 T
Note：suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上，如：下列节目儿童不宜。The following programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。4 L! V9 z* ?4 P9 W. @1 m/ N

3. 你是做什么工作的呢？What’s your job?
% H2 H p* K% `8 l: n$ c/ ] R: Are you working at the moment?
# Q" X# C) G0 k$ ]5 w s Note：what’s yourjob这种说法难道也有毛病吗？是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业，如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子，所以您要问：目前您是在上班吗？Are youworking at the moment?接下来您才问：目前您在哪儿工作呢？Where are you working thesedays?或者您从事哪个行业呢？What line of work are youin?顺带说一下，回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点，不要只是说经理或者秘书

4. 用英语怎么说？How to say?! ?; s; Q ]$ e8 [9 w0 j
R: How do you say this in English?
# Z. j: @0 l$ Y) z/ |. i5 w Note：How to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一，这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有：请问这个词如何拼写？How do you; @# w8 k4 T4 n( b$ G
spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读？How do you pronounce this word?! s/ a3 y$ M: m6 F
4 W6 i2 ` m) j: _$ E" F/ C! D5. 明天我有事情要做。I have something to do tomorrow?3 N" A5 K5 t. q
R: Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.* Z/ a, |+ X& K- x/ k) {
Note: 用I have something todo来表示您很忙，这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做，躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙，脱不开身：I’m tiedup.还有其他的说法：I’m I can’t make it at that time. I’d love to, but I can’t,I have to stay at home.
% m9 n1 f" C: m$ U+ w6 O 9 u, R" P; ~. h/ _) G& X# v4 H
6. 我没有英文名。I haven’t English name.6 E: r5 ?% b6 {- J& b8 e
R: I don’t have an English name.( J i8 D' _' h7 _0 f4 H' u
Note：许多人讲英语犯这样的错误，从语法角度来分析，可能是语法功底欠缺，因为have在这里是实义动词，而并不是在现在完成时里面那个没有意义的助动词。所以，这句话由肯定句变成否定句要加助动词。
! L4 W- o6 \2 S. a1 h# E$ R 明白道理是一回事，习惯是另一回事，请您再说几话：我没有钱；I don’t have any money.我没有兄弟姐妹；I don’t have any brothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car.3 Q9 T: J# W7 T O& B0 L: D4 E: g
) y3 j, v* y) R* R: q/ H& P7. 我想我不行。I think I can’t.
" y) j+ r! i8 R" O R: I don’t think I can.
4 g1 P9 R0 m1 [8 B& k Note：这一组然是个习惯问题，在语法上称为否定前置，这就是汉语里面说“我想我不会”的时候，英语里面总是说“我不认为我会”。以后您在说类似的英语句子的时候，只要您留心，也会习惯英语的说法的， 4 h" }9 I+ ~$ e9 }2 P2 U
' B+ h: Q; m$ k$ k& o4 {. o8. 我的舞也跳得不好。I don’t dance well too./ q( Y W @; O7 n3 n8 H
R: I am not a very good dancer either.+ q, P* Y; J8 c+ a S1 {
Note：当我们说不擅长做什么事情的时候，英语里面通常用not good at something，英语的思维甚至直接踊跃到：我不是一个好的舞者。, f& Z' F0 j1 d# [8 x6 p1 K/ w+ j
" d/ O5 J/ ~' j9. 现在几点钟了？What time is it now?
U7 r: R( F! ^( h9 d R: What time is it, please?
$ p" {7 b+ M8 a9 E- y; Z Note：What time is it now这是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子，讲英语的时候没有必要说now, 因为您不可能问what time was it yesterday, 或者what time is it tommorow?所以符合英语习惯的说法是：请问现在几点了？还有一种说法是：How are we doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适

- w6 e M* C+ c# `; L. v4 G5 Y7 X R: I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.
9 y) R Q" ^0 D" h$ S4 D. K 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 is poor. 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。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。所以您不用说：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。5 E8 V1 P, s- j( b* P0 }" j$ X
9 m9 y8 e8 Y: Q9 G& z11. 你愿意参加我们的晚会吗？Would you like to join our party on Friday?) p" y+ @+ L6 D9 A
R: Would you like to come to our party on Friday night?4 o: t: ]4 l+ o$ ]2 V- \" t- N! i
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 aChristmas Party。' F* r/ F3 M0 W& q/ U
1 C" S/ `5 {* Y. C/ b12. 我没有经验。I have no experience." o6 v1 D9 B! `) O
R: I don’t know much about that.
* l( j1 e; ?9 Q: T+ ^0 d 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 not really an expert in this area.1 s( M& c0 u9 {" f! N) D

18. 这个春节你回家吗？Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival? 是的，我回去。Of course! （这一句是错的）当然。
( ~* q' w. v+ X- m7 M! s2 H R: Sure. / Certainly.（这种说法是正确的）
G7 {' B- f7 g0 U: \ Note: 以英语为母语的人使用of course的频率要比中国的学生低得多，只有在回答一些众所周知的问题时才说of course。因为ofcourse后面隐含的一句话是“当然我知道啦！难道我是一个傻瓜吗？”因此，ofcourse带有挑衅的意味。在交谈时，用sure或certainly效果会好得多。同时，of coursenot也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not.
