6. 你愿意參加我們的晚會嗎?
Would you like to join our party?
Would you like to come to our party?
join往往是指參加俱樂部或者協(xié)會,如:join a health club; join the Communist Party。事實上,常常與party搭配的動詞是come 或者go。 如go to a wild party,或者come to a Christmas Party。
7. 我沒有經(jīng)驗。
I have no experience.
I am afraid I don’t know much about that.
I have no experience. 這句話聽起來古里古怪,因為您只需要說:那方面我懂得不多,或者這方面我不在行,就行了。I am not really an expert in this area.
8. 價錢很昂貴/便宜。
The price is too expensive / cheap.
The price is too high / rather low.
要記。“物”有貴賤,“價”有高低。你可以說某件東西貴還是賤,價格高還是低,但不可以弄反。譬如:This book is very expensive. The price is too high.
9. 他的身體很健康。
His body is healthy.
He is in good health.或者He’s healthy.
在英語中,“健康”是“人健康”,而我們漢語中則說“身體健康”。在這個問題上不能用漢語的思維去套英語的表達。
10. 別理她。
Don’t pay attention to her.
Leave her alone.
雖然 pay attention to 是“注意”的意思,但是“別理某人”可不是“不注意某人”的意思,而是“別去打擾/招惹某人”,英語中的習慣表達法就是 leave somebody alone。
