用法：用于親朋友間，表示同意他的看法。
Scene 1:
Zhang:Before I came to the United States, I had the impression that
women in America were stronger than men, both in society and at
home. But now I feel that that was a distorted picture.
Yang:You can say that again. American’s a man’s world too.
張：還沒來到美國之前，在我的印象里，以為美國女人無論在社會上 或家庭里都比男人強，
不過現(xiàn)在我覺得這個印象是不正確的。
楊：一點也沒錯，美國是個男性社會。
Scene 2:
Yang:I think there is a sharp contrast between Chinese and
Americans.For example,
the Americans are very individualistic, while the Chinese are very
group-oriented.
Chang:You can say that again. Chinese are very conscious of what
other people think
of them.
楊：我認為中國人和美國人之間有極明顯的差別。
譬如說，美國人非常個人主義，而中國人就非常集體傾向。
張：一點也沒錯，中國人總是非常在意別人對他們的看法。
Scene 3:
Yang:The United States is an egalitarian society in terms of
interpersonal relationships.
Chang:You can say that again! The woman I just went out to dinner
with insisted on paying her own way. And when I took her home she
kissed me goodnight!
楊：就人際關系而言，美國是個平等社會。
張：一點也沒錯！剛才和我一起去吃飯的那個女人，不但堅持自己付錢，而且當我送她回家時，還親吻我道晚安！

看法難免有失平衡，或太過極端，而不表示同意，想再重申自己的看法或立場時，可以直接以" Don’t get me wrong."
做開場白，然后接著把自己的看法陳述出來。 如果你想用"Don’t misunderstand me."亦未嘗不可。
Scene 1
Mother:Don’t get me wrong. I think Kevin is a very nice person,but
you have to admit he isn’t very responsible.
Beth:I guest you are right. He’s got a lot of growing up to do.
母親：你不要誤會我的意思。我想凱文是個很好的人，不過你必須承認他不很負責任。
貝絲：您說得不錯，他要長大還得有好多事要學習。
Scene 2
Marcia:Don’t get me wrong. I like Linda a lot as a friend,
but I don’t want my brother to get hooked on her.
Terry:I know what you mean. She’s so pushy sometimes.
馬西亞：你不要誤會，我很喜歡琳達做我的朋友，不過我不要我弟弟被她勾搭上了。
