1 我有很多钱是 I have much money. 吗?
这话语法对,但是native speaker 一般不说呢。much一般用来修饰否定的,和much相关的自然的表达一般是:
I don't have much money. (√)
There hasn't been much communication between us. (√)
如果实在想说much money. 我们最好把它做主语,说成:Much money has been spent on this project. (√)
2 让我做某事真的是let me do sth. 吗?
很多学生说老师常常让我做很多家庭作业。然后说 My teacher always let me do a lot of homework. (×)为什么错了?因为let sb. do sth. 表示 某人想做某事,且对方答应了,你这么说好像你自己主动想做很多家庭作业,然后你老师答应了。再举个例子: My mother lets me eat ice cream. =I want to eat ice cream, and my mum allows me to do so. 我妈答应我可以吃冰激凌了。
那你可能想问那怎么表示老师强加我们做作业呢?这个时候你可以说 The teacher makes us do a lot of homework. 我老师强加我们做很多家庭作业。
那如果介于两者之间呢?用 get哦, 比关窗户如 My mum gets me to close the door. 我妈妈让我去关门。 没有强调你妈妈强迫你这么干,也没有强调你特别想关窗户。
3 英语中注意没有No why 这样的表达哦~~
---Why do you like Papa education? 你为什么喜欢趴趴教育?
---No why. (×)
---No reason. (√)没有原因
---Somehow. (√) 不知为何
---I dunno ['dʌnəʊ; də'nəʊ]. Somehow. 我不知道,不知为何就是喜欢
4 画画就是painting吗?
painting 一般指油画,你要是说素描可以说 I'm not so bad at drawing pictures. 我素描不错。
你要是想说速写,那是sketching,
你要是想说涂鸦(在笔记本或者桌子上乱涂),那是doodling
你要是想说在墙上涂写,那是 graffiti-ing,或者 doing graffiti
5 在过去是in the past time 吗?
In the past time, I was hard-working. 在过去,我很勤奋。(×)
不能说这个 time 哦,因为英文中pasttime 表示hobby,因为 past表示度过,time表示时间,那么这个时候pasttime 表示娱乐活动。
你可以改成:
In the past, I was hard-working.
Long ago, I was hard-working.
A few years back, I was hard-working.
When I was a kid, I was hard-working.
Ages ago, I was hard-working.
6 How are you? 老外真的常说吗?
这句话不是错的,但不自然,
我们会说 :
How're things?
How's it going?
How's it hanging?
What's up?
当然回答的时候 不要 I'm fine, thank you , and you?
我们会说:
Cool
Alright
Not much. (针对 What's up?)
当然如果很正式,我们可以问:
--- How are you doing these days?
--- I'm doing fine, thanks. How about you?
