生活中我們常常會用到“I don't know”(我不知道)這個表達,可總這樣說似乎讓生活少了點情趣,用其他的表達來表示相同的意思會讓對話更加有趣和自然。 ▌Dunno 這個詞為非正式用語,一般在口語中使用,孩子們不想回答父母的問題時會經(jīng)常用到這個詞。 When do you have to submit this essay? 你什么時候要交論文? Dunno. I can’t remember. 不知道,不記得了。 ▌I have no idea/I haven't a clue/I haven't the faintest idea 這些表達通常用在你沒有任何關于這個問題的信息,無法猜到答案的時候。 What time does the film start? 電影什么時候開始? I have no idea. Why don’t you call the cinema? Would you by any chance know where St James’s Street is? 你知道圣詹姆斯大街在哪兒嗎? I haven't a clue. Sorry. 不好意思,不太清楚。 Could somebody please explain how this happened? 有沒有人能解釋一下這是怎么回事? I haven’t the faintest idea. 當你不知道問題的答案,又很反感別人問你時,可以這么說。 Who left this mess on the table? 誰把桌子弄得一團亂? How should I know? I've only just come home. What time did she say she was catching her train? 她說她趕的火車是幾點來著? Don't ask me. I’m always the last to know. Why didn‘t he ask you for the keys? 為什么他不問你要鑰匙呢? Search me. I’m not a mind reader. 不知道,我又不會讀心術。 ▌ Who knows?/It's anyone's guess
Will they ever find the missing aircraft? 他們會找到失蹤的飛機嗎? Who knows? The search been going on for such a long time now. How the situation will develop from here is anyone's guess. ▌Your guess is as good as mine
Do you think we will be able to book the restaurant for Friday? 你覺得我們能在周五預定到這家餐廳嗎? Your guess is as good as mine. ▌Not as far as I know
Has Clive left the company? I haven't seen him for ages. Clive離開公司了嗎?我好久都沒見到他了。 Not as far as I know, but I haven't seen him recently either. 可能吧,我也很久沒見他了。 ▌It beats me 這是一種表達你不知道或不懂的非正式用語?!癐t”可省去。 Why did he do such a stupid thing? 他怎么會做這種蠢事? It beats me. (來源:新東方 編輯:杜娟) |
