忘掉书本学美国人说话文档.doc

忘掉书本学美国人说话 美国也有自己的说话术。但是悲剧的是，我们在中国不管学了多少年，对这套说话术，毫无接触。中美课堂发言的方式不同。中国都是老师问一个，学生答一个。学生要举手，所以很有秩序。每次都要老师的讲解贯穿在学生的发言之间，而在美国，没什么举手，一堆同学之间要讲N个回合老师才说话。这个时候，如果你加入到一个对话，就非常需要承上启下，需要和别人互动，需要总结别人的话，需要明确的表达自己的话和前面一个或者几个人的话之间是什么逻辑关系。这种逻辑关系可以是：补充，反对，支持，提问要求澄清。表达自己意见：I think that... *最简单的It seems to me that... *可以用作表达意见，或者summarize或者confirm对方说的话。I would argue that...*这里面用would来弱化语气。Just to go along with what you said... *这句话，真的很好用，承上启下。这句话还好在，它使你现在插话看上去legitimate，因为你是为了和前面的那个人go along啊。不赶紧接话，不就along不上了嘛。Going back to what xxx said... * 同上。不过一般是你已经说了几句，此事，想要relate to someting 别人刚刚提到过或者蜻蜓点水说道的东西。这句话的好处就是，一能bring others on board说看我的说法和你是有一致之处的， 二能表现他刚才说的东西你还有印象。同意或者反对：I agree with you. *最简单的Building on what XX has just said, ..。.I am with you..., but [main point]. * 这里I am with you不一定表示同意也不一定表示反对，它主要的意思是说“你说的我听懂了/我跟上你说的了。”I follow your logic, but have you thought about/considered this... [main point]...? *和上面一句话的逻辑是一样的：“你说的我明白了，但是.。.”I see what you are saying, but I’m not sure I would argue that... *和上面两句话的逻辑一样。With all due respect, I think.。.谦虚的反对：Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t [a different topic]...? I’m not an expert on..., it seems to me that.。.I might be wrong, but .。.I suspect that I lack some [background] information about this aspect, but here is my two cents。I am not sure about this..., you might want to check with Professor X... Would you mind letting me know what he/she says? [别人说了一堆之后] This is one way to look at it. Another way to look at it might be..。.疑惑追问：Just to clarify,.。.May I ask a follow-up question? Could you say more (about it)？ *不确定自己是不是听懂了，请别人多解释一些。Could you elaborate on this? 需求帮助：I was wondering if I could talk to you about... *一般都是用过去时，在email里面也是如此。而且，虽然was wondering/hoping这种进行时看起来很怪，但是用法就是这样子的。I was hoping that if I could talk to you about.。.I was wondering if it’d be possible that you...* Sorry to bother you, Professor X..。.I realize this is an unusual request.。.I realize that you are very busy.。.Thanks for your time。Thanks in advance for your help。I
