日常会话属于非正式口语。平时多去英语角,多与人用英语聊天,是练习英语会话的不二法门。可聊天毕竟是为了锻炼自己之前所学到的口语句子,当然事先就要肚子里“有料”,在雅思口语考试聊天才能顺利。方法实际上也很简单:
a. 在阅读过程中、从书本例句中、从对话中看、听到地道、标准、典型、或优美的句子摘抄下来。
b. 将每一个摘抄的句子分别记在不同卡片或纸条上随身携带。
c. 随时取出尽量做到大声、快速、清晰地读几遍。
d. 经常回忆所记的句子。
e. 积累到一定量后分类总结设立“自己”的句子库。
不过在准备雅思口语时候的注意事项:
a. 一定要是“自己”的句子库,现有的这类辞典由于你未背熟所以不是你“自己的”,不过可利用它来对句子进行分类摘抄,以便查找。
b. 一定要对句子达到随口而出的地步。
c. 背诵的诗歌、文章也属“句子库”范畴。
d. 对自己背的句子、文章还可采用复述的方式来锻炼自己的表达能力,这对自己的语法、单词量、反应速度都是很好的考验。

[解释] 点点滴滴,有其助益。一颗颗粮食堆成山,一块块铜板成千万。偏远地区的孩子没学上,我们有义务帮助他们。希望大家多支持,捐钱、捐书、捐铅笔,什么都行。多捐多感谢、少捐也不嫌,Every little helps.
12. Good wine needs no bush.

14. If the cap fits, wear it.

18. It takes two to tango.

20. It's my word against his/hers.
[字面意思] 我的话对他/她的话。
[解释] 我跟他发生争执,我俩各执一词,没有人可以证明谁对谁不对,公说公有理,婆说婆有理。你该相信谁的话,真是个难题。There were no witnesses to the accident, so it's my word against hers. 这是说不清的事情。
21. It's not my pigeon.

27. Love is blind.
[字面意思] 爱情是盲目的。
[解释] 情人眼里出西施。究竟他为什么爱上了她?我是不理解,但谁也说不清。爱情就是这样,正像人们常说的一样,Love is blind. 典出罗马神话,爱神丘比特Cupid用布蒙着眼睛,生有双翅,持弓箭,"爱情之箭"会盲目地射出。

[字面意思] 婚姻是由上天决定的。
[解释] 姻缘是命中注定的。你找对象挑了又挑,拣了又拣,最终能找到什么人,谁也难说。但好多人都相信Marriages are made in heaven.

33. Money isn't everything.
[字面意思] 钱不是一切。

[字面意思] 我的耳朵在发烧。

Ⅳ.25个不易翻好的简单句子
1. 我很喜欢它。
False: I very like it.
True: I like it very much.
2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。
False: The price is very suitable for me.
True: The price is right.
suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上,如:下列节目儿童不宜。The following programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。
3. 你是做什么工作的呢?
False: What’s your job?
True: Are you working at the moment?
what’s your job这种说法难道也有毛病吗?是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业,如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子,所以您要问:目前您是在上班吗,Are you working at the moment,接下来您才问:目前您在哪儿工作呢, where are you working these days,或者您从事哪个行业呢,What line of work are you in,顺带说一下,回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点,不要只是说经理或者秘书。
4. 用英语怎么说?
False: How to say in English?
True: How do you say this in English?
How to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一,这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有:请问这个词如何拼写,How do you spell that please,请问这个单词怎么读,How do you pronounce this word。
5. 明天我有事情要做。
False: I have something to do tomorrow.
True: Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
用I have something to do来表示您很忙,这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做,躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙,脱不开身:I'm tied up.还有其他的说法:I'm afraid I can't make it at that time. I'd love to, but I can't, I have to stay at home.
6. 我没有英文名。
False: I haven't English name.
True: I don't have an English name.
许多人讲英语犯这样的错误,从语法角度来分析,可能是语法功底欠缺,因为have在这里是实义动词,而并不是在现在完成时里面那个没有意义的助动词。所以,这句话由肯定句变成否定句要加助动词。 明白道理是一回事,习惯是另一回事,请您再说几话:
我没有钱;I don't have any money.
我没有兄弟姐妹;I don't have any brothers or sisters.
我没有车。I don't have a car.
7. 我想我不行。
False: I think I can’t.
True: I don’t think I can.
这一组然是个习惯问题,在语法上称为否定前置,这就是汉语里面说“我想我不会”的时候,英语里面总是说“我不认为我会”。以后您在说类似的英语句子的时候,只要您留心,也会习惯英语的说法的。
8. 我的舞也跳得不好。
False: I don’t dance well too.
True: I am not a very good dancer either.
当我们说不擅长做什么事情的时候,英语里面通常用not good at something,英语的思维甚至直接踊跃到:我不是一个好的舞者。
9. 现在几点钟了?
False: What time is it now?
True: What time is it, please?
What time is it now这是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子,讲英语的时候没有必要说now,因为您不可能问what time was it yesterday或者what time is it tommorow。所以符合英语习惯的说法是:请问现在几点了?还有一种说法是:how are we doing for time这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适
10. 我的英语很糟糕。
False: My English is poor.
True: I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.
有人开玩笑说,全中国人最擅长的一句英文是:My English is poor实话说,我从来没有遇到一个美国人对我说:My Chinese is poor。无论他们的汉语是好是坏,他们会说: I am still having a few problem, but I'm getting better。当您告诉外国人,您的英语很poor,so what(那又怎么样呢)是要让别人当场施舍给我们一些英语呢,还是说我的英语不好,咱们不谈了吧。另外一个更大的弊端是,一边不停的学英语,一边不停地说自己的英语很poor,这正像有个人一边给车胎充气,又一边在车胎上扎孔放气。 我坚信,如果现在就苦下功夫,把EPTIP系列教材吃通吃透,您的IT职业英语水平立即就会迅速的提高。您以后和外国IT同行交流时再也不用说:我的英语很poor。您可以实事求事地说,我的英语还不算十分流利,但至少我在进步。
11. 你愿意参加我们的晚会吗?
False:Would you like to join our party on Friday?
True: Would you like to come to our party on Friday night?
join往往是指参加俱乐部或者协会,如:join a health club; join the Communist Party。事实上,常常与party搭配的动词的come 或者go。如go a wild party,或者come to a Christmas Party。
12. 我没有经验。
False:I have no experience.
True: I am afraid I don’t know much about that.
I have no experience这句话听起来古里古怪,因为您只需要说:那方面我懂得不多,或者这方面我不在行,就行了。I am not really an expert in this area.
13. 我没有男朋友。
False: I have no boyfriend.
True: I don’t have a boyfriend.
14. 他的身体很健康。
False: His body is healthy.
True: He is in good health. You can also say: He’s healthy.
15. 价钱很昂贵/便宜。
False: The price is too expensive/cheap.
True: The price is too high/ rather low.
16. 我们下了车。
False: We got off the car.
True: We got out of the car.
17. 车速快了。
False: The speed of the car is fast.
True: The car is speeding. Or “The car is going too fast.”
18. 这个春节你回家吗?
Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival?
False: 是的,我回去。Of course! (这一句是错的)
True: 当然。Sure. / Certainly.(这种说法是正确的)
