篇一：关于他人外表不该说英文句子

关于他人外表不该说英文句子 2010年12月09日12:03沪江英语网我要评论(1)

Don't say: "You look tired."

Why: It implies she doesn't look good.

Instead say: "Is everything OK?" We often blurt the "tired" comment when we get the sense that the other person feels out of sorts. So just ask. 不要说"You look tired."（你看上去很累。），这句话暗示了她看上去状况不佳。我们可以说"Is everything OK?"（你一切还好吗？）我们会脱口而出"tired"这个词是因为感觉到对方有些消沉，所以直接问原因吧。 *out of sorts 身体不适，心情不佳

Don't say: "Wow, you've lost a ton of weight!"

Why: To a newly trim person, it might give the impression that she used to look unattractive.

Instead say: "You look fantastic." And leave it at that. If you're curious about how she got so svelte, add, "What's your secret?"

不要说"Wow, you've lost a ton of weight!"（哇塞，你减掉了N多斤啊！），对一个刚恢复苗条的人来说，这句话给她的感觉是自己从前看上去很糟糕。我们可以说"You look fantastic."（你看上去真棒。），并且就此打住。如果你想知道她是如何变苗条的，那就加上一句"What's your secret?"（有啥秘诀呀？）

Don't say: "You look good for your age."

Why: Anything with a caveat like this is rude. It's saying, "You look

great—compared with other old people. It's amazing you have all your own teeth."

Instead say: "You look great."

不要说"You look good for your age."（以你的年纪来说，你看上不错啊。）任何像这样带有告诫意味的话语都是粗鲁的。这就是在说：“跟其他老家伙比起来，你看上去不错。你那口牙竟然一颗没掉，太令人惊讶了。”我们应该直接说"You look great."（你看上去很棒。）

Don't say: "I could never wear that."

Why: It can be misunderstood as a criticism. ("I could never wear that because it's so ugly.")

Instead say: "You look so good in skinny jeans." If you slip, say something like "I could never wear that...because I wasn't blessed with your long legs."

不要说"I could never wear that."（我是穿不了那裤子。）这话可以被误解为批评：“那裤子太丑了，我才不要穿。”我们应该说"You look so good in skinny jeans."（你穿紧身牛仔裤很漂亮。）假如你不小心说漏了嘴，那就这么圆回来"I could never wear that...because I wasn't blessed with your long legs."（我是穿不了那裤子……因为我没你那样修长的腿哎。）

篇二：Unit 4 Chinese Culture (Dialogue Practice---Peking Opera)

导游：早上好！作为大家此次北京之行的一部分，下面我给各位简单介绍一下京剧。

Visitor: Wonderful! I would really like to learn more about the Beijing Opera. I’ve heard a lot about it. It is an important form of performing art in China, an age-old tradition, I believe.

导游：是的，京剧是中国的国粹，迄今已有200多年的历史。清乾隆五十五年，也就是公元1790年，四大徽班社陆续进京，并与北京戏曲界的昆曲、弋阳调、汉调结合，经过150多年的融合，吸收了一些民间曲调，最终演变出现在的京剧，成为中国最大的派系，无论是剧目、演员和观众规模，还是产生的影响力在中国都是无与伦比的。

Visitor: So does Beijing Opera mainly feature singing, as the name “opera” suggests? You see, in the West, we also have various types of opera performance, in which singing skills are displayed by the acting professionals.

导游：京剧并不只是演唱。京剧集动作、歌唱、对话和独白、杂技武打、舞蹈为一体，讲述一个故事或刻画不同人物并表现他们的情感，如开心、喜悦、惊奇、害怕和悲痛。京剧里一般有四类角色：生（男子）、旦（青年女子）、净（花脸，男）、丑（小丑，男女皆有）。无论忠奸、美丑或是好坏，都能在京剧中得以生动地表现。

Visitor: That sounds amazing! I know that there are many very artistically gifted Chinese people. To create such a unique form of performing art in which a variety of techniques are integrated is indeed a great contribution to human civilization.

导游：京剧不仅表演技巧丰富，而且内容也很多。京剧的剧目多以前朝的民间故事、历史事件、历代皇帝大臣或才子佳人的故事为题材，从远古到尧、舜、禹，到春秋、战国时代，还有秦、汉、唐、宋、元、明、清各朝。

Visitor: These dresses look fantastic! I have never seen anything parallel to this anywhere.

导游：京剧的戏服色彩鲜艳，工艺精细，大多经过手工刺绣而成。在服饰设计开始采用中国传统模式之后，京剧的戏服也相对具有很高的欣赏价值。

Visitor: Like Beijing Opera, the costume is in itself a piece of art craft. Oh, look at these faces. They look really dramatic. Do they have any special meaning?

导游：您观察得细致入微。在人的脸上涂上某种颜色以象征这个人的性格和品质、故事和命运。这是京剧的一大特点，也是理解剧情的关键。简单地讲，红脸含有褒义，代表忠勇者；黑脸为中性，代表猛智者；蓝脸和绿脸也为中性，代表草莽英雄的勇敢冒险气质；黄脸和白脸含贬义，代表凶诈者；金脸和银脸是神秘，代表神妖。

Visitor: How interesting! I have never thought about the rich implications that different faces have

about the characters of the roles on stage. I think this is a very effective way of delivering messages to the audience.

导游：是的。京剧脸谱样式多样，表现丰富，刻画出性格各异的人物形象，因此受到高度的赞赏。另外，脸谱还有几个固定的表现模式，但是形式可以丰富多样。

Visitor: I’m looking forward to this Beijing Opera performance in a moment. You should also come to the United States. People in my country love this kind of lively performance. I’m sure Beijing Opera will be a great hit in the American cultural market.

1. 我们要弘扬中华文化，建设中华民族共有精神家园。中华文化是中华民族生生不息、团

结奋进的不竭动力。

2. 要全面认识祖国传统文化，取其精华，去其糟粕，使之与当代社会相适应、与现代文明

相协调，体现时代性。

3. 加强中华优秀文化传统教育，运用现代科技手段开发利用民族文化丰富资源。

4. 加强对各民族文化的挖掘和保护，重视文物和非物质文化遗产保护，做好文化典籍整理

工作。

5. 加强对外文化交流，吸收各国优秀文化成果，增强中华文化国际影响力。

篇三：这些美国俚语让你

这些美国俚语让你"神魂颠倒"

以下主要是Knock的习惯用语。

Knockout：在俚语中却可以解释叫人心醉神迷的人或物，可能是一幅美不胜收的画，也可能是一部扣人心弦的电影，更可能是俊男美女

Bob’s girlfriend is a knockout.

鲍伯的女朋友真是个绝色佳人。

knock your socks off: sock是袜子。这个习惯用语的出典可能是什么特别精彩的事情让你兴奋得上蹦下跳，以至脚上袜子也跳得掉了下来，引申为“令人兴奋不已的好事” Have you seen Jack's sister, who's visiting here from California? She'll knock your socks off.

你见到了杰克那个从加州来的妹妹吗?我好久没有见到过这样漂亮的女孩了,她简直是美得惊人。

Knock them in the aisles: aisle这儿指剧场内座位之间的通道,这个习惯用语的用意可能是这样的：台上的表演如此精彩、如此令台下观众倾倒，以至他们都倒在座位旁的走道上了

Is this new man funny, then? Funny! The way he tells jokes will knock them in the aisles.

新来的这个人滑稽吗?滑稽!他讲笑话的方式能使观众笑得前仰后合。

knock someone dead：跟刚才学的两个习惯用语一样，都用来描述令人赞佩得五体投地的绝妙东西

My people did a great job: the ads are clever, entertaining and make the car look fantastic. I promise you they'll knock people dead the first time they see them.

我手下人干得太好了。广告构思巧妙、又生动有趣，使得那车显得非常出色。我向你保证，人们一看广告就会喜欢得要命。

篇四：2011高考英语短文改错题全解析(1997-2010)

高考英语短文改错题技巧点拨

短文改错旨在测试考生发现、判断和纠正错误的能力，主要考查考生在词法、句法、惯用法和行文逻辑等方面在语篇中综合运用英语的能力，因此考点综合性强，覆盖面广，错项设置类型多，是历年高考英语中的难题。为了提高做短文改错题的能力，除了要加强基础知识的积累、提高语篇的整体理解能力之外，还应该对其错项设置的基本情况有所分析，以便做到目标明确，有的放矢，从而提高解题的正确率。我从语法和逻辑的角度，用口诀的形式，向同学们介绍高考英语短文改错中最常见的几类错误。

短文改错口诀：

句子成分多分析，

动词形态，名词数，，

认清是形还是副；

非谓动词细辨别，

习惯用法短语要牢记住；

逻辑错误须关注。

一、句子成分多分析

不同的句子成分要用不同的词类；不同的语境要选择不同的词语。这些都依赖我们对句子结构和句子成分作细致的分析，才能找出用词不当的错误。例如：

1. They ∧curious about everything in the world and --- were

2. I live in Beijing, where is the capital of China. which

第一例漏掉了谓语动词were，这是汉语习惯的影响而导致的错误；第二例则是对定语从句的关系代词与关系副词它在句子中的成分不懂，where是副词，不能作主语。

二、 动词形态：

主要包括两类错误：动词的时态和语态错误，以及主、谓不一致的错误。例如： My favourite sport is football. I was a member of our school football team. is Now my picture and prize is hanging in the library. are

上述两例分别属于时态错误和主、谓不一致错误。找出此类错误的关键是树立牢固的时态概念，注意短文内容发生或存在的时间，保持时间概念的一致性。

三、 名词数

指名词单、复数形式及可数名词和不可数名词的用法错误。常表现为将名词复数写成单数。例如：

?so that I’

常考名词：information, knowledge, pleasure, success, message等。

四、形容词和副词词性辨别：

区分形容词和副词在句子中的作用和具体用法。

这也是高考短文改错的常考点。例如：

I’m sure we’

需要注意的是，形容词多用来做定、表、补语等，而副词只能在句子中作状语，修饰动词、

形容词、副词或整个句子。第一例中的wonderful作定语修饰time，第二句的Unfortunately作状语修饰整个句子。

五、 非谓动词细辨别：

这是考查最多的错误形式之一。主要有现在分词、过去分词和动名词类错误，也包括不定式类错误。例如：

1

?

? playing 3 My parents love me? and will do all they can ∧ make sure? to

上述二、三例分别是动名词作主语，和不定式作目的状语。一般的，现在分词有主动态和进行时的含义，而过去分词具有被动态和完成时的含义，不定式有将来时态的含义。

六、 习惯用法、短语要牢记：

主要考查习惯搭配方面的基础知识。这也是历年高考的常考点，其错误表现形式主要有三种：

多词、少词和搭配错误。

例如：

It was very kind for them to meet me at the railway station and? of We must keep in mind that we play for the team instead ∧ ourselves. of

七、 逻辑错误须关注

与句子的上、下文不一致，甚至相矛盾，属于逻辑性错误。如称谓上的张冠李戴，人名、地名、时间、方位等方面的错误，常是这类错误的考查对象。例如：

The Smiths did his best to make me feel at home. their

First, let me tell you something more about myself. 去掉more ? no way of setting the matter except by selling the set.Now someone at home reads instead. everyone

上述第一例中的主语是Smiths（史密斯夫妇俩），因此后面的his不合逻辑。第二例中的more

在这儿表“再”的意思，才开始告诉别人，怎么能说“再告诉你一些事”？第三例讲的是为了解决看电视时的争端，“我们”把电视机卖了；晚上没电视看了，所以与从前一样，大家又都读书了，所以该用everyone。

八、除了上述错误类型外，常考的错误形式还有：连词but, and, or，hhowever, otherwise,that, what和so等的用法错误（可以归类为逻辑错误），以及冠词的用法错误等。例如：

She was smiling but nodding at me. and

It looks as if my parents treat me as a visitor and a guest. or

We may be one family and live under a same roof. the

下面是全国高考试题中的短文改错题。这道题较全面地反映了本文的口诀。现在请你试着做一做，然后参阅题后的答案与简析。

Last week my parents and I took a two-day trip to Emei

Mountain in Sichuan. As everyone knows, it’s famous 76. _____ Mountain with all kinds of plants and animals. The weather 77. _____ Was fine. It was about noon we arrived at the foot of 78. _____ the mountain, the three of them were very excited. As we 79. _____ climbed the mountain, we ed monkeys, visiting temples 80. _____ and told stories. On the way up I was busy taking picture 81._____ since the scenery was so beautiful. The time passes quickly. 82. _____ Evening came down. We spent the night in a hotel at the top 83. _____ of the mountain. The food was expensive and the service was 84. _____ good. I was so tired that I fell asleep at the moment my 85. _____ head touched the pillow.

答案与简析：

76. famous前加上a。 （名词数）。 77. 正确 78. we前面加when，引导一个时间状语从句。（句子成分多分析） 79. them→us （逻辑错误须关注） 80. visiting→visited（非谓动词细辨别） 81. picture→pictures（名词数） 82. passes→passed（动词形）

83. 去掉down（习惯用法要记住） 84. and→but（but, and, or和so） 85. 去掉at（句子成分多分析 / 习惯用法要记住）。

下面再次让我们熟悉一下短文改错的设错规律：错误类型包括缺词、多词和错词。其中1

4. 冠词错误

误用a和an（根据单词的因素来判定）；误用a 和the（固定搭配，各自单独使用的地方）

多余的冠词或则少冠词。

① We may be one family and live under a same roof. (a 改为the the same 是固定搭配)

② As everyone knows, it’s famous mountain with all kinds of pants. （mountain是可数名词需用冠词，所以加 a ）

5. 形容词和副词错误

1) 系动词后用形容词（be/am/is/are/was/were/become/go/感官性动词 smell /feel）

2) 词性的误用 形容词修饰名词 修饰 实义动词，形容词和副词，过去分词用副词

① I’m sure we’ll have a wonderfully time together.
