英语口语:美国最最流行的口语大全_专题集锦
熟练地运用英语的一个重要方面就是学习并掌握本族者常用的生动、活泼的习语。
1. after you.你先请。这是一句很常用的客套话,在进/出门,上车得场合你都可以表现一下。 (好象现在女士不愿意你这么做,特别是那些女权主义者,我还记得这么一段话:一个女士对一个让她先行的男士说:you do this because i am a woman?那个男士回答说:i do this not because you are a woman but because i am a man! i love this guy!
2. i just couldn't help it.我就是忍不住。想想看,这样一个漂亮的句子可用于多少个场合?下面是随意举的一个例子: i was deeply moved太棒的句子了,我爱死它了。
3. don't take it to heart. 别往心里去,别为此而忧虑伤神。生活实例: this test isn't that important. don't take it to heart. 安慰人的超级句子。
4. we'd better be off.我们该走了。it's getting late. we'd better be off.
5. let's face it. 面对现实吧。常表明说话人不愿意逃避困难的现状。参考例句:i know it's a difficult situation. let's face it, ok? 很棒啊,年轻人犯错误,上帝都会原谅,remember?但是犯了错误,你必须面对他,let's face it,或者是:let's face the music.
6. let's get started.咱们开始干吧。劝导别人时说:don't just talk. let's get started.

7. i'm really dead.我真要累死了。坦诚自己的感受时说:after all that work, i’m really dead.
8. i've done my best.我已尽力了。
这句话,很有用,失败有时难免,但是你要是可以说,i've done my best. or i spare no efforts.就不必遗憾,毕竟,man supposes, god disposes.
9. is that so?真是那样吗?常用在一个人听了一件事后表示惊讶、怀疑。
10. don't play games with me!别跟我耍花招!
11. i don't know for sure.我不确切知道。
