Andrew's Note: Although you could often say “I will” in the place of this structure, saying “I'm going to” will make you sound like a more comfortable and confident speaker of English. 你可能經(jīng)常用“I will”來(lái)代替這個(gè)句型，但是如果你能用“I'm going to”，別人會(huì)覺(jué)得你的英語(yǔ)說(shuō)得更加自如、更加自信。

這是美國(guó)人頻繁使用的一個(gè)句型，但是你可能沒(méi)有注意到，因?yàn)槊绹?guó)人在日常生活中喜歡把“I'm going to...”說(shuō)成“I'm gonna...”。

要是……就好了!

Andrew's Note: You will sound very American if you express your hopes and desires with this sentence pattern. 如果你能用這個(gè)句型來(lái)表達(dá)你的希望和心愿，那么你的英語(yǔ)聽起來(lái)就非常有美國(guó)味。

這是一個(gè)六星級(jí)的句型，是假設(shè)一種理想的情況，所以這個(gè)句型后面接虛擬語(yǔ)氣。

Andrew's Note: This is another sentence pattern that not many Chinese students of English know, but Americans say every day. Native speakers will be impressed if you use this sentence pattern comfortably. 這是另一個(gè)大多數(shù)學(xué)英語(yǔ)的中國(guó)學(xué)生不會(huì)用的句型，但是美國(guó)人卻天天都在說(shuō)。如果你能夠自如地使用這個(gè)句型，那么老外對(duì)你的英語(yǔ)就會(huì)感到印象深刻。

Whether it comes to sharing toys or household tasks, children are taught to take their turn. 美國(guó)人對(duì)他們的公平意識(shí)感到自豪，輪流做事從孩子們很小的時(shí)候就在腦海里根深蒂固了。不管是分享玩具還是分配家務(wù)勞動(dòng)，孩子們都學(xué)會(huì)要輪流交換。

請(qǐng)不要小題大做。

76...., that is to say, ...

Andrew's Note: One of the special things about English is the multitude of different ways one can say the same thing. English speakers often like to say the same thing twice, joined with this phrase, in order to make their meaning more dear. 英語(yǔ)的一個(gè)特點(diǎn)就是可以用很多不同的方式來(lái)說(shuō)明同一件事情。講英語(yǔ)的人為了使他們的意思表達(dá)得更清楚明白，經(jīng)常喜歡將這個(gè)短語(yǔ)放在句子中間，把同一件事情表達(dá)兩次。

Andrew's Note: Who are “they”? No one knows. But any time you want to back a statement with more authority than your own, you can just say that “they” say so, but be ready to say who “they” are if somone asks you. 到底誰(shuí)是“他們”?沒(méi)人知道。但有時(shí)你想找到比自己更有說(shuō)服力的人來(lái)支持你的言論，那么你就可以簡(jiǎn)單地說(shuō)“他們都這么說(shuō)”。但如果有人問(wèn)你“他們是誰(shuí)”，你要有回答的準(zhǔn)備。

They say the president is going to resign.
