人總免不了要與別人打交道，但你可得注意，要是用英語(yǔ)與別人交流，千萬(wàn)不能將漢語(yǔ)的思維習(xí)慣機(jī)械地搬到英語(yǔ)中來(lái)哦！否則會(huì)鬧出笑話來(lái)的?？纯聪旅娴倪@些日常交際用語(yǔ)你會(huì)幾個(gè)呢？

【錯(cuò)誤1】 —What do you want to buy？

—A pair of shoes.

【分析】 英國(guó)、美國(guó)的營(yíng)業(yè)員主動(dòng)問(wèn)顧客要買什么東西時(shí)， 會(huì)說(shuō)What can I do for you？/ Can I help you？/ Is there anything I can do for you？不能像中國(guó)人一樣說(shuō)What do you want to buy？（你要買什么？）

【錯(cuò)誤2】 —Whos that？

—Im Alice.

【分析】 在電話里回答Whos that？或Whos it？時(shí)，英美人常說(shuō)This is Alice.

【錯(cuò)誤3】 —Hello， who are you？

【分析】 在對(duì)方向你表示歉意時(shí)，你應(yīng)說(shuō)Never mind. / Thats all right. / It doesnt matter. / Its nothing. No trouble（不麻煩）是中國(guó)人對(duì)“麻煩您了“的答語(yǔ)，不符合英美人的習(xí)慣。

【錯(cuò)誤5】 —Thank you for your help.

—No thanks.

【錯(cuò)誤6】 —Would you like to have another cup of tea？

【錯(cuò)誤10】 —You speak English very well.

—No， not so well.

【分析】 英美人在聽到別人夸獎(jiǎng)或贊美時(shí)，不像中國(guó)人一樣先謙虛一番，而應(yīng)表示謝意，謝謝別人對(duì)自己的夸獎(jiǎng)。他們常說(shuō)Thanks. / Many thanks. / Thats very kind of you. / Its very kind of you to say so. 而不說(shuō)No， not so well. / Just so-so.
