英语口语:“找钱找少了”的英语表达
1)读英语:钱找少了
I gave him $10 for a $5 item and he only gave me $1 back. I got shortchanged!
2) 说英语:钱找少了
1.Okay.Got you. If you gave the seller $10 for a $6 item and he only gave you $1 back instead of $4, we call this a shortchange,or to shortchange.
2. You can say: I got shortchanged. OR:
3. You shortchanged me ($4). I am $4 short.
4. To shortchange someone is to give someone less change/money than is due/you
should do in a transaction/in a buying and selling..
坚持把英语“翻译”成英语来学,用英语学英语是个好习惯,最终形成好能力:因为你不仅仅只是会说:钱找少了就是英语You shortchanged me,也不是只是会说You shortchanged me 就是中文“钱找少了”,而是英语: You give me less change/money than is due/you should do.
一般人学英语总是停留在“见英语只能说中文,而不能说英语”的水平上,“忘了那个英语词就不会说英语”了。这是他们学英语很难进步的短板所在。
