Mark: "English is a very easy language to learn."
Susan: "What do you mean?"
Mark: "Well, what I meant to say was that it is easy if you practice every day."
Susan: "Oh, right."
以下是幾種在日常英語(yǔ)中能把問(wèn)題解釋清楚的地道說(shuō)法：
1.重組語(yǔ)句，換一種說(shuō)法
"What I meant to say was…"
"Let me rephrase that…"
"Let me put this another way…"
"Perhaps I'm not making myself clear…"
2.從頭再說(shuō)一次
"If we go back to the beginning…"
"The basic idea is …"
"One way of looking at it is…"
"Another way of looking at it is…"
3.如果一下子卡了殼,想不起來(lái)用英語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)
"I can't find the word I'm looking for…"
"I'm not sure that this is the right word, but…"
"What I want to say is…"
不要害怕重復(fù)你的話，如果每次解釋的話都有稍微的差別，讓人可以猜測(cè)到你要說(shuō)什么。
