充分利用材料的技巧：先看中文，看能否比較快就口譯為英文，再與后面的英文比較，看自己的中文式英語表現(xiàn)在哪些方面。
一、委婉抱怨
不知你是否能夠幫助我一下
很抱歉，打擾了，我想……
有點事情想請你幫個忙
真不好意思，只是
I wonder if you could help me
Look, I’m sorry to bother you, but
There’s something you could help me with
I hate to have to say this, but
二、如何勸解別人的生氣
放心吧
你難得不覺得你自己是不是反應(yīng)過度了一點嗎？（太敏感了嗎)
沒什么值得心煩的
你一說，我還真不好意思（難為情了)
Take it easy!
Don’t you think you’re overacting a bit?
There is no reason to get upset.
I am sorry to hear that.
三、提出建議和忠告
不知您有沒有考慮過……
我想那是一個不錯的注意
你想到過沒有
你總是……
我要是你，就……
你最好
I was wondering if you’d ever thought of
I think it might be a good idea.
Have you ever thought of
Don’t you think it might be a good idea to
You could always……
If I were you I’d……
Why don’t you……
You’d better……
四、了解別人經(jīng)歷
Didn’t you once……
Did you ever……
Tell me about the time you……
I hear you once……
You’ve…, haven’t you?
幫助別人回憶
后來呢
你為什么不
哪之前你
那時候你感覺如何
What happened next?
Why didn’t you…？
Did you… before that?
How do you feel when…？
Where were you doing while……?
Then what did you do?
Did you think of…？
五、回顧時引導(dǎo)別人的想象
要是……你會干了些什么
要是……情況會怎么樣
如果……你會有什么樣的感覺？
What would you have done if
What would have happened if
How would you felt if
六、這樣回應(yīng)引導(dǎo)
我不知道，我猜我會
很難說，但是我想我會
當(dāng)然啦，我……
Oh, I don’t know, I guess I would have……
Hard to say, but I think I would have……
Well, of course, I could have……
七、老實道歉
噢，實在對不起
歉意之深，實在是無以言表(我無法告訴你我是多么的內(nèi)疚)
我真不知該怎樣說才好
萬分抱歉
Oh, I’m awfully sorry……
I can’t tell you how sorry I am……
I just don’t know what to say……
I’m extremely sorry。
八、我錯了
我為……而道歉
恐怕我得說
真不知該怎樣說，……
要解釋清楚并不容易
I’ve got to apologize for
I’m afraid I have something to say
I’m not exactly sure how to put this, but
Um, this isn’t easy to explain
九、沒關(guān)系，我原諒你
沒關(guān)系，不要在意
算了
不是你的錯
啊呀，不要放在心上，真的沒什么
千萬別自怨自艾了（別再自責(zé)了)
Oh, that’s right; don’t worry about it
Forget it
It’ not your fault
Oh, never mind never mind. It really doesn’t matter.
Please don’t blame yourself。
十、開始一個故事
我告訴過你那時我
那使我想起
你竟然提起那件事，真是很有意思。因為類似的事情也曾經(jīng)在我身上發(fā)生過
Did I ever tell you about the time I
That reminds of the time I
Funny you should mention that, because something similar happened to me once
十一、有效控制敘述
言歸正傳
當(dāng)我說這句話的時候
不管怎么樣,無論如何
長話短說
不敢怎么說，最后的結(jié)局就是這樣的
To get back to the story
As I was saying
To make a long story short
Anyway, what happened in the end was this:
十二、制造懸念
倒霉的就是（然后呢)他掉到了河里
他打開的是一封信
你可以猜猜他當(dāng)時的感覺
你想他會怎么做？
然后你知道他干了嗎？
你根本無法想象，下面發(fā)生了什么事情
當(dāng)他……想想我的驚訝吧
What happened to him was he fell into the river
What he die was open the letter
You can guess what he felt like
What do you think he did
And then do you know what he did
You’ll never guess what happened next
Imagine my surprise when he
十三、如何陳述觀點
如果你問我的話
你知道我的想法嗎？我認(rèn)為
要點就是
您不這樣說嗎？
你不這樣認(rèn)為嗎？
照我看來，
我只是想說說我的想法，……
我要指出的是……
If you ask me,
Youknow what I think? I think that
The point is
Wouldn’t you say that
Don’t you agree that
As I see it
I’d just like to say that I think that
I’d like to point out that
十四、如何表示同意與不同意
�。�1) 同意
的確如此（完全同意)
我一萬個同意
那正是我想的
那正是我想的
好注意
英雄所見略同
Exactly
I couldn’t agree more
That’s just was I was thinking
You know, that’s what I think
That’s a good point
Great minds think alike
�。�2) 不同意
是的，說的不錯，但是，
我不敢肯定我是否同意……
你在那一方面是有道理，但是，
也許吧，但是你難道沒有想到
yes, that’s true, but
I’m not sure if I agree
Well. You have s point there, but
Maybe, but don’t you think that
�。�3) 朋友之間
開玩笑吧
別裝蒜了！
吹什么吹！別騙人了。
Are you kidding?
Don’t make laugh!
Come off it!
十五、如何進行討論
�。�1) 委婉表達意見
有時我想
我聽說過
你不是說
你認(rèn)為你說……是對的嗎？
我倒覺得
I sometimes think that
Well, I’ve heard that
Wouldn’t you say that
Do you think it’s right to say that
It’s my feeling that
�。�2) 不懂就問
我不明白你說的關(guān)于……的情況
對不起，我不明白你的意思
你到底想告訴我什么
我不能完全理解難得意旨
I didn’t follow what you said about
Sorry，I don’t see what you mean
I don’t see what you’re getting at
What exactly are you trying to tell me
�。�3) 被人誤解和被人不懂立即解釋
那不完全是我想表達的
讓我換一種說法
讓我再講一次
That’s mot exactly what I mean
Let me put it another way
Sorry, let me explain
十六、如何提出問題；如何拖延，回答的技巧
�。�1) 提問
不知你是否能夠幫助我，我想知道
I was wondering if you could help me. I’d like to know
不知你是否介意告訴我
I wonder if you could tell me
這也許聽起來是一個愚蠢的問題，但我想知道我希望你不要介意我的問題，我想知道
你很介意告訴我
打擾一下，我能不能很快問你一個問題
你是否碰巧知道
This sounds like a dumb a question but I’d like to know
Excuse me, do you know
I hope you don’t mind my asking, but I’d like to know
Would mind telling me…
Excuse me, but could I ask you a quick question?
Do you happen to know
�。�2) 拖延, 避免冷場
好好好，讓我想想
好的，我想一下
我不敢肯定，我要核查一下
那真實一個有趣的問題
Well，let me see
Oh let me think for a minute
I’ m not sure; I’ll have to check
That’s a very interesting question
十七、巧妙拒絕
我真的不能肯定
我無法回答
對不起，真是不知道
我沒什么想法
我很愿意幫你，只是
這個嘛，我現(xiàn)在不是很想談
別問我這個
I’m not really sure
I cannot answer that one
I’m sorry, I really don’t know
I’ve got no idea
I’d like to help you, but.
That’s something I’d rather not talk about just now
十八、如何知道得更多
您再講一些有關(guān)……的情況嗎？
你能不能再多說一點關(guān)于……
關(guān)于……我還想了解的更多
我還想知道
另外我想知道的是
對不起，我指的不是那個。我想知道的是
對不起，向您問個沒完。您能不能告訴我
對不起，我不是太明白為什么
Could you tell me some more about
Could you mind telling me more about
I’d like to know more about
Something else I was wondering about was
Something else I’ d like to know is
Sorry to keep after you, but could you tell me
Sorry, I don’t quite understand
