地道英语口语表达 有哪些高级的英语表达技巧,让人一听就感觉很地道?

首先,你至少要保证用词正确哦。但是这可没有大多数人想象的那么容易,比如:

- a group of bees 一群蜜蜂
- break the myth 打破神话

看起来没有问题哈,可是我告诉你这些用法都!是!错!的!
这是受到中文思维影响的错误的英文用法,从“一群”想到“a group of”,从“打破神话”想到“break”。这种自作主张就是overgeneralisation,外国人看了要笑掉大牙哦。

想要“地道”的用英文,首先记单词的时候就要知道正确的搭配(collocations)是什么,常用的搭配是什么。针对这个问题,请见我的另一个回答:

下面分享一些技巧:

1,用好动词。


和中文相比,英语的动词非常丰富。每一个地道的句子,核心往往是一个准确无比的动词,简单有力,比如。

(初级版)
The dog bit the boy.
(地道版)
The dog tore through the boy's flesh.

另外,减少程度副词的使用,比如“really”,“very”,"extremely"等等,这背后的核心还是动词的使用。
比如:She was very scared,写成She was terrified更加好些。

“So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. It also won’t do in your essays.”
- N.H.Kleinbaum
比如:
really bad - terrible
very dirty - filthy
really tired - exhausted
very happy - thrilled
She's not very smart - She' ignorant.

2,尽量少用虚词(Expletive construction)。


这里所说的Expletive construction包括:it was, it is, it takes, here is, there is, there will be等等。

it,there,here一般指代句子中之后出现的主语,频繁使用让人觉得句子没有重点,比如:
There are some students who seem to have books。
句子的重点是some students,而不是there be,之后的who也是不必要的词。改成Some students seem to have books简洁明了。

中学英语为了让学生学习从句,有很多类似的造句,实际上地道的英语很少这样说。

一些例子:
It's fun to sing. 改成: Singing is fun.
Here are some things to have. 改成: Some things to have are:
There is nothing better than blogging. 改成: Nothing's better than blogging.
There are many people who write. 改成:Many people write.

当然,不是说完全不用上面的结构。某些需要指代的情况下,是可以用的:
I love reading. It's great. 这里It指代之前的句子,反而句子更加简练。

3,多用比喻(similes)。


这些比喻多使用as 或者like。

(初级版)
She has a smooth voice。
(高级版)
Her voice was as smooth as butter。

(初级版)
He was moving through the room clumsily。
(高级版)
He was moving through the room like an enormous trained mole collecting the empty cans.

The world is bitter. - The world is bitter as a tear.

一些非常好的比喻句总结在下面的链接里,大家可以借鉴:


4,为了彰显B格,请善用婉语euphemism。

本来你只是要写:
He didn't know he was to die that day.
如果你写成:
He didn't know that that day was his last.
感觉是不是厉害好多?


一些关于euphemism的总结:




5,用好倒装句。

(初级版)
He didn't know he was about to die.
(高级版)
Little did he know that he was about to die.

(初级版)
You can solve the problem only this way.
(高级版)
Only in this way can you solve the problem.

6,巧用介词。

由于汉语习惯,中国人往往回避英语介词的使用,因此很多时候写出来的句子汉语味比较重。

When she arrives, she will pay the money.
Upon arrival, she will pay the money.

错:He looked at me and felt surprised.
对:He looked at in surprise.

错:We were informed by those who wore red uniforms.
对:We were informed by those in red uniforms.

Without health, happiness is impossible.


先这么多,想到再补充。
