第一词:try我们先看几个来自生活中的句子,都是常见句子(注:所谓 Chinglish 只是相对,并非绝对)。
1、这蛋糕真好吃,你尝点。Chinglish: This cake is so delicious, please eat a little.
Revision: The cake is so delicious. Please try some. (Oh! The cake is so yummy that I want them all.)
2、这样不行,你再看看。Chinglish: It won't do. Please see it again.Revision: It won't do. Please try again.
3、我做过一两次,都失败了。Chinglish: I did one or two times, but I failed.Revision: I tried a couple of times, but I failed.
4、请您放心,我一定有多少力,出多少力。Chinglish: Please put down your heart.I'll give all my strength out.Revsion: Don't worry, I'll try my best.
5、这件裙子真漂亮,你穿上看看?This skirt looks so beautiful. Would you please try it?凡是带有“尝试”、做事没底但是还是做了等,可以选用try一词,简单又实用。当然,try还有审判的意思。So, Please try this word more often.http://google.com中对try的原形进行搜索,“约有158,000,000项符合try的查询结果”,也就是近1.6亿个结果。可见try是多么受欢迎。那么我们用过多少次?
第二词 enjoy这一动词我印象比较深刻,它的用法比较简单,凡是带有“享受到”的意思就可以用。反义词是suffer (from)。经典用法是享有。。。。声誉。在公司、单位英文介绍里可以说简直是不可或缺的一个词。如: In Africa, Botswana is one of the few countries which enjoysa good reputation for corruption control and the DCEC has attracted favourableattention from analysts, donors and Botswana's regional neighbours.顺便再说一句,好的用enjoy,不好的可用suffer。一想到灾难、甚至阿富汗、伊拉克什么的就应该想到suffer这个词。这个词就不单独列出来了。再如: UN conference to study why women in war-torn States suffer justice deficit.对了,忘了一个经典句,Enjoy your stay in China!
