在日常生活中,人們經(jīng)常碰到需要對各種事物表示看法、觀點、見解和建議的場合。英語表示同意時,往往同漢語一樣,直截了當,因同意某人的意見不會得罪人。表示不同意別人的觀點時, 通常用委婉的語氣。另外英美人常用面部表情或動作表示是否同意,點頭Yes, 搖頭No,聳肩表示“不同意”或“無可奈何”。
◎經(jīng)典表達
(A)I must know your opinion. Do you agree with me? 我必須知道你的觀點。你同意我嗎?
I ll be all for it. 我十分贊成。
I have nothing against it. 我不反對。
Are you for or against this plan? 你同意還是反對這個計劃?
I have no objection. 我沒意見。
I quite agree. 我完全贊同。
(B)I totally disagree. 我完全不同意。
I don t agree at all. 我根本不同意。
I m afraid I can t agree with you.恐怕我不同意你的觀點。
I don t think so. 我不這么認為。
I m against your plan. 我不贊成你的計劃。
(C)I have my own opinion about this decision. 對這個決定我有自己的看法。
My opinion is different from yours. 我的看法跟你的不一樣。
I m afraid I can t quite agree with you about that. 關于這一點,恐怕我不能完全贊同你。
We have opposite views on this. 對于這個我們有相反的觀點。
It s a very interesting idea, but I don t think it would work in practice. 這個主意不錯,但我認為缺乏可行性。
◎溫馨解讀
1.表示贊同的用語
①Sure. / Certainly. / That s correct. / Of course. /All right. / No problem. / That s a good idea. / Yes, I think so.
②I agree (with you). / That s true. / Yes, please. / Yes, that s right.
③“So +主語+助動詞/情態(tài)動詞/ be.”或“Exactly.” 表示“的確如此;確實是這樣”。
2.表示完全不贊同的用語
① No, I don t think so. / I m afraid not. / I really can t agree with you. / I don t agree. 為了使不同意的語氣委婉些,往往在發(fā)表不同意的看法之前,可以說Sorry、 I m afraid等。
② Of course not./ No way!
3.表示不完全贊同的用語
①Yes, maybe.
②You may be right.
