1.问候类(Greetings) 英语中的问候用语非常繁多，正式的通常有： How do you do？(初次见面通常用语) How are you？(比较熟悉的人之间用语) How are you getting along with...？(你近来...可好？) How are you doing？(您工作还顺利吧？) How is everything？(一切还好吧？) How is your vacation/holiday(s)/Christmas Day/weekend？(假期怎么样？) 当今美国社会流行口语用语，大致有： What?s up？(近来可忙？) Hello？Hi？ What?s going on？(近来可好？) How is life？ How is it going？anything new？ Pleased to meet you again！ 对以上问候的对答通常有How do you do! Fine！Thank you，and you？ Every is fine！ I?m just great！ Very(quite)well，thank you！ Couldn?t be better，thank you！ Not bad！ Can?t complain! Just so?so. 值得一提的是，随着美语越来越广泛地渗透，听力中用美语朗读且以美国社会为背景的题材的趋势愈加明显。考生要注意日常口语对话，及时吸取信息，将对听力有很大的帮助。 请看下面的对话： A：Good morning, Ms Lucy. This is Betty, can you still remember me? B：Betty? Is it really? Surely I remember you. You are my good friend, and I haven?t seen you for ages, but how are you? A：Fine, I?m just fine, Ms Lucy... 2.告别类(Farewell) 有聚总有散。告别情景的设置往往并非简单、直接地告别，常伴随着理由、托辞等。 直接的告别话语有： Good bye! (Bye?bye! Bye!) See you (tomorrow)! See you later! So long! Farewell! 委婉的告别辞有： I?d like to say goodbye to everyone. I?m afraid I must be going now. I?m calling to say goodbye. 其他带有祝愿以及叮嘱等的告别辞有： I?ll look forward to seeing you soon. Let?s hope we?ll meet again. Hope to see you again. Drop in anytime you like. Mind how you go, bye! Take care of yourself, and don?t forget to keep in touch. Do keep in touch！ My regards to your family. A pleasant journey to you! I?ll miss you! 这种表达方式与中国人的日常言谈颇为相似，所以有时不妨可作大胆推测。 请在下面的对话中对此加以体会： M: I?m afraid I?ve got to go now。 W: Can?t you stay just another minute? M: Oh, dear, I really have to... W: Ok, take care of yourself, and I will miss you. Bye! M: Bye!... 3.介绍(Introduction) 在日常生活中我们会经常碰到一些朋友小聚会，生日晚会等场面。在这些活动中，总会有一些我们不认识的人，因而互相介绍在这里就显得非常的重要。在听力中，人物介绍往往是一句带过，因此通过这些有限句子弄清人物关系十分重要。同时要注意语气的委婉。 英语中介绍性的语句通常有： May I know your name？(请问贵姓？) It?s my pleasure to introduce you to each other.(我非常高兴给你们互相介绍) May I introduce Mr. Bill to you all？(请允许我给大家介绍以下比尔先生) Margaret，can you introduce me to her？(玛格丽特，你能不能把我介绍给她？) Let me introduce you to others.(让我给大家介绍一下你吧) Meet my sister Cathy.(这是我的姐(妹)凯丝) Bill, this is Tom. Hi, I?m Susan，this is my calling card.(你好！我是苏珊，这是我的名片) 下面是对话： A: Mum, this is Peter. I mentioned him to you yesterday. He is my new boyfriend! B: Oh, yeah, I see. Glad to meet you, Peter. C: Glad to meet you too, Mrs Back. This is my calling card. B: Oh, the manager of IMC. How come? Mary, you said last night he was only a milkman… A: Yeah, mum. Peter is a milkman. He is the manager of International Milk Corporation. You see, he is the only person in his corporation he founded this morning. B: My God! 4.邀请和拜访(Invitation and dropping in) 我们在日常生活中，经常会邀请他人或被邀请一起去做一些事，如参加一些朋友的聚会、拜访长辈或名人。英美人说话很委婉，要注意情态动词与固定句型的应用。邀请有书面的，也有口头的。英语中常用的邀请语有： Would you like to come over our small party？(你愿意参加我们的小聚会吗？) If you ever in Beijing, please do look me up.(如果你来北京，请一定来看我) Would you like to join us？(喜欢和我们一起吗？) Shall we dance？(我们可以跳个舞吗？) Shall we go for a walk？(去散步，好吗？) What about another coffee？(再来一杯咖啡？) Shall we go to see a film？(去看电影，好吗？) May I have a dance with you？(可以请你跳个舞吗？) We?d be very honored if you come to our wedding ceremony.(如果你能参加婚礼，我们将感到非常的荣幸。) Would you honor us with a visit？(可否赏光来我们这儿？) I?d like to invite you to attend our graduation ceremony.(我希望你能参加我们的毕业典礼。) I?m very sorry，but can we make it another time？(很对不起，下次可以吗？) Welcome to our city！(欢迎光临我们的城市！) Are you free this evening？I want to pay you a visit.(晚上有时间吗？我想去看你。) I really can?t thank you enough for the invitation.(得到你的邀请，我感激涕零。) It?s my great honor to attend this grand graduation ceremony.(能参加这次盛大的毕业典礼，我感到非常的荣幸。) 对于别人邀请的回答要注意分寸，也要礼貌对待。总之，“客套”是此类对话的本质。 在考研听力的情景对话中，邀请的日常用语也经常出现。下面是一些模拟听力对话： Dialogue 1 M: Will you do me the honor of dancing with me, Mrs. Jones? W: Oh, I?m really sorry. I?ve done too much of it. M: Ok, I see... Dialogue 2 M: Would you like to see a film with me tonight? W: Oh, it is great. Dialogue 3 M:How about have a drink in that bar? W:I?m afraid I can?t... 5.道歉和应答(Apology and response) 在日常交往中，我们总会因为这样那样的原因犯一些错误，对此，我们就应该说一些抱歉的话。西方人非常注重语言上的礼貌，我们如果留意，就会发现BBC或者VOA节目里的主持人经常会因语言上的打嗑而说sorry。因为直率，所以道歉要及时说出才能得到谅解，这是西方文化与东方文化的不同之处。英语情景对话中，道歉及应答的语句通常有： I do apologize for the inconvenience I brought to you last night.(对于昨晚带给你的不便，我感到非常的惭愧。) I?ve got to say sorry for what I said rudely just now.(我很抱歉刚才对你说的那些无礼的话。) I?m awfully sorry about the delay.(对这次耽误，我感到非常的抱歉。) It was me to blame.(这是我的错。) I do beg your pardon.(求你原谅我。) I am sorry to bumpsintosyou. (对不起，撞着您了。) I?m afraid I?ve taken you up too much for your time.(花您那么多时间，实在对不起。) It was all my fault to have done...(这都是我的错……) We really didn?t mean that at all.(我们真的没有那样的意思。) Please forgive me for...(请原谅……) That?s all right, don?t think any more about it.(没什么大不了的，别想的太多。) It?s nothing serious. You don?t have to upset yourself. (没有那么严重，不必太自责。) It?s not as bad as that. There is no point to getting upset.(没那么糟，不要为此而不安。) That?s okay. Don?t let it bother you.(没事，别想的太多了。) 下面是一些关于道歉的对话，请大家注意英语说话的技巧。 Dialogue 1 A: It?s so careless of me to have lost your book... B: Oh, that?s doesn?t matter. Because, you know, that?s just the one I borrowed from your father... Dialogue 2 A: I?m terribly sorry for breakingsintosyour room, but... B: Ok, what?s your problem? A: Someone?s chasing me behind, and, and I need your help... B: Oh,... 6.责备与抱怨(Blame and complaint) 前面所提到的西方人说话直率在此类对话中更为明显。对于别人的打扰，自己受到不公平待遇会说出来，而不是不留面子。这里有分寸问题，通过说话人的口气与语调可判断其情绪与态度。 英语中责备与抱怨的话通常有：What on earth is the matter here?(到底发生了什么事?) I?m afraid I have a complaint to make about the service.(我对你们的服务有意见。) You ought to be ashamed of what you?ve done on me.(你应为你对我所做的事感到羞愧。) Why on earth did you say such a silly thing to me?(你对我说这种蠢话究竟是什么意思?) You?ve no right to help yourself.(你无权自己动手!) I?m not a bit satisfied with such a result.(我对这样的结果一点也不满意!) You ought to be careful enough next time.(你下次再不能这样粗心了。) I got very annoyed about it.(我对此烦透了。) Can?t you be serious for once?(你就不能严肃一次?) Don?t interfere in my business, please.(请别干涉我的私事。) It?s no nice of you to behave like that.(你那样做太不像话。) 一般对责备与抱怨，人们通常的反应是表示抱歉与愿意接受。 请分析下面的对话： A：You don?t have to play the radio so loud, do you? B：Oh，I?m really sorry about it Q: What happened to the second man? 7.意见与判断(Views and adjudgement ) 在日常生活中，当我们和朋友或同事一起做事的时候，通常会询问一下别人的见解、想法。对别人意见所抱的态度在听力中通常会成为出题人设题的要点。其中，说话人的语气与音调是判断其意见与态度的落脚点。这里给大家提供一些英 语中常用的句子以供大家参考： Yes, I quite agree with you about that.(对，关于此问题，我与你意见相同。) You are quite right here. I have no objection.(这次你非常正确，我没别的意见。) I?m with you there. That?s a fine idea. (我支持你，这个主意不错。) There is no doubt about it. I think this one will do.(没什么可怀疑的，我认为就这样。) I rather doubt that.(我非常怀疑。) I beg differ with you.(请允许我表示异议。) I don?t quite agree with you. I?m against it. (我不十分同意你的意见，我反对。) Many people have different ideas. (许多人有不同的想法。) That?sswheresI disagree with you.(这就是我不同意你的地方。) My own view exactly.(这正好是我的观点。) I don?t think it?s very practical.(我不认为这很实际。) 请分析下面的对话： Dialogue 1 W:I weigh 180 pounds now. I need some new clothes.; M:Maybe you should go on a diet.; W:really?... Dialogue 2 W:I?m here for my 12 o?clock appointment with Prof. Li.; M:Why don?t you have a seat for a moment?; W:Oh, yes. Thank you.; 8.祝愿与祝福(Wishes and congratulations) 人们在节日、道别以及朋友、家人外出时，通常会说一些表示祝愿的话。此类场合常有新年祝贺、结婚生子、乔迁发财、得奖出国、考试结束、升学成功等等。如： Every success in your study! Here?s to a happy marriage.(祝你工作顺利，婚姻美满。) Wish you success! May you success!(祝你成功!) Please convey my best wishes to Bill.(请向比尔传达我最好的祝愿。) The best of luck! Best wishes! Best regards!(好运!祝福!) I drink to your promotion.(我为你的提升干杯!) Allow me to offer my heartiest wishes.(请允许我向你表示衷心的问候。) I?d like to be the first to congratulate you.(我想第一个向你表示祝贺。) Enjoy your vacation!(假日愉快！) 请看下面对话： A: Lily and I are going to be married tomorrow. B: Woo, really? Congratulations! But... A: What?s that? B: I was wondering that you would marry Cathie

It was yukky. 你从哪里弄了这吃的？那么难吃。10． 与yukky相反的词是yummy，好吃极了。说这个词时，要不然就把音拖一下，要不然说它两次，表示你真的喜欢主人做的这道菜。11 I cannot take it any more.　我再也无法忍受了。前面还可以加上一句：don’t push me. 不要再逼我呀。 同样意思的句子还有：I cannot stand him any longer.12 Don’t take it out on me! 不要把气出在我身上。13 You have my word. 我向你保证（是这样）。14 Look, I have got going. 就这样了，我还得干活呢（还得赶路）。这是向人告辞的说法。15 You talk crazy. 你满嘴胡言。相当于you talk nonsense之意。 从语法上看，将形容词放在动词后不是很正规，但人家都这么说，也就可以将就了。16 I don’t mean to cross the line. 直译是“我不想越界”。这句话的意思是，我并不是想管闲事呀，只是随便问问。“I don’t mean to cross the line, is she your new girl friend ?”17 Thank you for .....(the tea, and so on), and everything else. 谢谢你的（茶水款待），以及一切。当你向人道谢时，你一下只想起了一件具体的事，但又接受了不止一项的好处，就加上一句 and everything else，这样就不会漏谢什么了。18 I won’t take that crap.我才不会信那套鬼话。也可以说：I won’t buy that beef.同样的意思。19 Calm down. 不要激动好不好？20 sick 恶心 you make me sick. 你叫我恶心。 People do sick things to young girls nowadays. 现在总有人对小女孩做那些恶心的事。 He is sick. 如果你把sick一词念得很重，意思就是“他令人恶心。”如果念得不重，意思就只是“他病了。” 所以要小心。 21 You look concerned.

I think He’s my Mr. Right! 他温柔体贴，有耐心，成功又成熟。我知道他就是我的意中人(我未来的丈夫非他莫属；也可以说是真命天子）。（白马王子的另一个说法：prince charming）29 Jack 对朋友John说，他刚刚与Esther拜拜了，（I just broke up with Esther.）John 安慰Jack说, I don’t know what to say to comfort you, but cheer up! There’s plenty of fish in the sea and you’ll find your soul mate, your perfect match!30 My relationship with her is already a history.我与她的关系早已成历史了。31 我们赞扬儿童时最常用的话有：Isn’t he cute He is so cute. He is adorable. Beautiful baby! 逗一两岁的小孩时，人们常说：Peek-a-boo, I see you.给小孩说再见：See you later, alligator!32 Yes, 这是现在的小学生都会的单词。但是大学英语专业的人有时也搞错，例如，对于对方的否定句表示赞同时，很多时候，很多人仍旧会回答yes，而不会说no。英语中表示同意的词很多，如果实在无法立马反应过来，不妨用其他的词。Absolutely, OK, you are right, exactly, certainly, yep, aye, just so, sure, right, correct, you said it. I agree with you, 常用的还有sweat, you bet。或者你可以说：I hear you.你说的我明白。说no的词也有好几个：nope, I don’t think so,等等。33 有个人说：A 82 year-old man married a 28 year-old woman. That is the most bizarre thing that has ever happened recently. （一个82岁的老头娶了28岁的姑娘，这是近来最为离奇的事。）另一个人蛮有同情心，他可能会说：Well, age shouldn’t be something that comes in the way of a person’s marriage. As long as they love each other, age is not an issue.（嗯，年龄在婚姻中应该不是障碍，重要的是他们爱着对方，年龄不是问题。）bizarre是一个美国人喜欢用的词，意思是“稀奇古怪，不正常的”；That is a bizarre story.(这个故事太荒唐。) The nine-head-bird is really bizarre.（九头鸟是不可能有的事。）这是一句中国俗话，上、下联是什么呢？ comes in the way of 的意思是“成为绊脚石”。34 有个朋友要我每到一地就给她写几个字，这英语的表达法可以用“drop me a line”： Don’t forget to drop me a line when you visit a new place. 我则可以回答：“Trust me. I won’t. I’ll keep you posted.”（没问题，我不会忘记的，我会随时让你知道我的近况。）post当动词用，则是“邮寄，转递”，keep someone posted意思是keep in touch with someone, or touch base with someone often。只是很可惜，现在的中国邮局大部分都不办理邮政业务，而是成为银行了，所以信也没法寄。Drop by的意思是，顺便访问（没有计划的那种访问。）Please drop by sometime for a drink. - I dropped by my best friend’s house to see if he was home. 不要朋友写信，就叫朋友打电话好了：Give me a buzz. or Give me a ring. 都可以。35 上一篇中提到了一个词soul mate，是那种心灵感应的朋友，也可以用heart,例如说，sweat heart，但这指恋人或关系特别密切的人。a heart to heart chat很诚恳的沟通。I tried to have a heart to heart chat with him on this issue, but it didn’t work. 我费了一番力气想与他坦诚沟通，但没有什么用。36 他喝醉了。英文有好些说法，很口语化的是：He is loaded. 就是drunk的意思。& When I talked to the president, he was loaded.& Kissinger said about Nixon. 基辛格谈到尼克松时说：“我跟总统谈话时，他已经喝得烂醉。”under the influence of alcohol也是喝醉了的意思，但这是个法律词汇，意思是犯法了，尤其是在开车时，如果查出了司机是under the influence of alcohol则可能要坐牢。而drunk, loaded虽是醉酒，但不违法。很书面语的词汇是“intoxicated, intoxication”。写到这里，我想起了昆明巫家坝机场的一副广告：令人陶醉的地方--云南（大意），旁边的英语是：Intoxication: Yunnan. 这是典型的中式英语，外国人看了不知所云，听上去好像是云南人都是酒鬼一样。正确的英文应该是：The most attractive place: Y 也可以说：Breathtaking scenery:Yunnan.37 He is a little bit punchy. 如果一个人晚上睡眠不足，早晨起来睡眼惺忪的样子，我们可以说他punchy.所以可以接着说：He needs a cup of coffee to wake up. 一个人看上去云里雾里的样子都是punchy，与喝醉酒貌差不多。38 与load还有一个相关的口语词：freeloading, 揩油，滥用别人的慷慨。My roommate won’t pay anything for the grocery. I end up feeding him three meals. I am really fed up with his freeloading.(他这样揩我的油我实在是受不了。)揩油的人就叫“freeloader”，就是那种喜欢免费的午餐的人（those who enjoy free lunch）。39 市场上有很多关于学英语诀窍的书，但实际上，学英语就是一个背单词、与遗忘作斗争的过程。记忆力好的人总是少数。I cannot think of these English words off hand. One of the effective ways is to brush up on grammar rules a little bit everyday. There is simply no short cut. Off hand，我无法一下子就能想起这些英文单词。 Brush up on 常常复习，short cut，捷径。学英语最好是每天学一点，坚持不懈，集腋成裘：“Precept upon precept, here a little and there a little, idea by idea,”（一次学个概念，这里学一点，那里学一点，一次接触一个思想）。或者我们可以说 A little at a time, we can eat up an elephant eventually.（一次吃一口，我们最终可以把头大象给吞了。） It is a big job, but we can get it done. 这个工作巨大，但我们可以把它做好。所以不要相信那些100天就可以把英语学好的广告。如果有学生或一位网友100天可以学好英语的话，那我不就要失业了？40 堵塞。看到“堵塞”二字，人们一般会想起“jam”，如果是交通堵塞，用jam是没错的。但是如果是下水道给堵塞了，最好要用clog。It is too bad, my sink is clogged up again.“堵塞”还有一个英文词“clot”: The street was clotted with traffic. 街上交通阻塞。血栓堵塞：blood clot。“堵塞”正式的名词是Congestion, 如果吃东西给咽了，则是choking （food clogging in the throat.） 41 Hang 是个常用的单词，几本意思是“挂，吊”。口语中加上in 或者on后，其意思是坚持。Hang in there, OK? 再在那里坚持一会。Everybody hanging on. 每个人都再坚持一下。Stay on. 也是“再坚持一会”All relationships go through rough times. You just have to hang in there. 每种关系都会经历难关，所以你坚持下去就好了。Just hang on in there. The physical training is tough but it’s worth it. 你一定要坚持下去，体育训练难度较大，但这代价是值得付的。Hang around 的意思是闲逛。你进商店，老板会问：What can I do for you? 你则可以回答：I am just hanging around.我只是随便看看。Most husbands hate hanging around with their wives in the mall. It’s so boring! 大部分的先生都不喜欢跟老婆去逛商场，太无聊了。I don’t like to hang around here after dark. 天黑后我不喜欢在这里逛了。He had stupidly hung around - just to see what the cops were doing - and ended up being arrested!他在这里看热闹实在是笨，他就是想看看警察在干什么，结果把自己给弄抓起来了。Hang up with 是约会的意思。He is hanging up now with Jane.42. 如果有人无所事事，你就可以说：Get a job. 去做点正事吧。43.No need to panic. Don’t panic不要慌张。44.You made your point. 我明白你的观点（意见）了。或者：I heard you.45.You are nasty. 你真是可恶。 a nasty trick nasty是个常用词，表示厌恶。46.Stay cool, man. 老兄，多多保重。相当于Take care.47.That is a wishful thinking. 想得美。也可以说是day dream白日梦。You are day dreaming. & He lives in a dream that has nothing to do with reality& 48.Let us keep it that way. 还是原样吧。就这么办吧。49.Can you drop it? 能不能不谈这事了？50.What is there for me (you)?两个人谈合作，你看了半天，都是对方得益，于是你就可以说这句话了：我的好处在哪里？也可以说：Where is my cut? 51.Back To Basics 从头来，回到起点，回到基础的东西。This is really complicated for me now, please get back to basics, OK？这真的有点复杂了，我搞不懂，能不能从头说一遍？又可以说：Back To Square One 这是一个美式足球的术语，球又从新开始。Voters send tax relief back to square one. 投票人将缓税计划打回原宫。表示“基本”的另一个词组是 the nuts and boltsThe nuts and bolts of college writing 大学写作初阶nut 是螺帽， bolt 螺钉，螺帽螺钉是最基本的的东西，合在一起就是“基础”。180. They are fighting for crumbs. Crumb是面包渣。他们在为生存苦苦挣扎。181. It is a family business. 这是家传生意。Family business 就是爷爷干了，传给爸爸，爸爸再传给下一代，因此又可称是祖传生意。Family restaurant 家庭餐厅，这个餐厅里干活的都是一家人，因此不大，但温馨、有特色。主要是与连锁店相比较的一个概念。　　182. pep talk, 比赛前，教练给队员们的鼓舞士气的讲话。现在可以泛指了，例如老师每天给学生鼓舞斗志的讲话也是pep talk。安慰人也可以说是pep talk。pep rally，啦啦队的人带领全场的人为自己的队伍呼喊鼓气。例如：老师鼓励学生：“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” - George Carlin　　Pep 一词从pepper发展而来，人困了时，咬口辣椒可以提神。　　183. tough, 坚硬的，（肉）很老的，也表示一件事不容易。That will be a tough sale.要让人接受你这个方案不会那么容易。I toughed it out 我硬挺过来了。　　184.
