    "Get Brainwashed" with 100 Words-- Let your mind soar and spirit be free in the world of English!

    專為閱讀能力不錯,但卻無法自由表達自己思想的朋友所寫。如果有人喜歡我會堅持寫下去。由于水平有限,謬誤之處在所難免,還請各位批評指導。歡迎各位補充。
    有很多朋友閱讀能力很不錯,但是一到說或?qū)懀汀翱ぁ绷?。我以前就有過這樣一個階段,非常痛苦,但是后來通過觀察、分析與總結(jié),終于闖過了這一關。今天寫點東西,希望能為迷路的一些朋友做點小事。
    Some friends often complain that they are not bad in reading comprehension, but relatively weak in spoken English and Writing and often get stuck. This series of tutorials are targeting these learners, and for the information of those who do not need to learn but are interested in this thread. Any comments including criticism and new ideas are welcome and would be highly appreciated.
    其實解決這個問題,主要靠三個方面。根本做法是多觀察,learn before we talk。也就是說先觀察別人怎么說的,然后我們再加以模仿、改造與發(fā)揮。
    這三個方面是:
    一、改變思維習慣(way of thinking)。 閱讀時,見到一些表達方式,多問問自己,這句話讓我說,我會用這種思路嗎?如果答案是no,那就恭喜你了,趕快把這句話抄下來,以后多做點文章。
    二、注意選詞(choice of words) 實踐證明,學好、活用100個詞,再加上以前的一點基礎(比如有cet-4以上水平),就可以自由表達自己思想,并可盡量拋棄原來的中式英語思維。
    三、句型(sentence patterns) 漢語與英語這兩門語言沒多大的相似之處,由于思維習慣的不同,導致一些表達方式也不同,具體表現(xiàn)在一些典型的句型上。如我們學校有3萬名學生,到了英語可能就是There be句型了。反之亦然。
    好,我們就從那100詞開始,這些詞,都是一只只幫助我們飛翔的翅膀。
    Ok, volunteers, let's get "brainwashed" with the help of these 100 words--Let our mind soar and spirit be free in the world of English!
    注:這里我評價一個說法是不是更好,一般評價標準有:
    1、是不是忠實。 這個忠實不是指“形式”,不是一個蘿卜一個坑,而是指含義,褒貶也要相同。
    2、是不是精練。 能用1個字說清楚的,盡量不用2個字。當然也不是絕對的,也不能回到文言文那種時代。
    3、是不是地道。 盡量使用English natvie speaker的說法,而不使用我們自己編造出來的說法。
    當然為了這個目標,我一直在努力。
    第一詞:Try
    我們先看幾個來自生活中的句子,都是常見句子(注:所謂 Chinglish 只是相對,并非絕對):
    1、這蛋糕真好吃,你嘗點。
    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、這樣不行,你再看看。
    Chinglish: It won't do. Please see it again.
    Revision: It won't do. Please try again.
    3、我做過一兩次,都失敗了。
    Chinglish: I did one or two times, but I failed.
    Revision: I tried a couple of times, but I failed.
    4、請您放心,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、這件裙子真漂亮,你穿上看看?
    This skirt looks so beautiful. Would you please try it?
    凡是帶有“嘗試”、做事沒底但是還是做了等,可以選用try一詞,簡單又實用。當然,try還有審判的意思。
    So, Please try this word more often.
    在google.com中對try的原形進行搜索,“約有158,000,000項符合try的查詢結(jié)果”,也就是近1.6億個結(jié)果。可見try是多么受歡迎。那么我們用過多少次?

    第二詞 Enjoy
    這一動詞我印象比較深刻,它的用法比較簡單,凡是帶有“享受到”的意思就可以用。反義詞是suffer (from)。
    經(jīng)典用法是享有。。。。聲譽。在公司、單位英文介紹里可以說簡直是不可或缺的一個詞。
    如: In Africa, Botswana is one of the few countries which enjoys
    a good reputation for corruption control and the DCEC has attracted favourable attention from analysts, donors and Botswana's regional neighbours.
    順便再說一句,好的用enjoy,不好的可用suffer。一想到災難、甚至阿富汗、伊拉克什么的就應該想到suffer這個詞。這個詞就不單獨列出來了。
    再如: UN conference to study why women in war-torn States suffer
    justice deficit.
    對了,忘了一個經(jīng)典句,Enjoy your stay in China!

    第三詞 Available
    這個詞有點怪,是形容詞,但是一般放到所修飾的詞后面。凡句子中含有是“有。。??梢杂玫健钡臅r候都可以考慮這個詞。這個詞關系到我們思維方式,而不是這個詞用法有多復雜。反義詞是unavailable.現(xiàn)在都講究資源了.
    1、對不起,沒座了。
    Chinglish: Sorry, we have no seats now.
    Revision: Sorry, no seats available.
    2、網(wǎng)站暫時無法訪問。
    Chinglish: This website can't be visited temporarily.
    Revision: Website Temporarily Unavailable.
    有時候盡管不是非用available/unavailable不可,但是多用一些,看起來正宗。在google.com中搜索結(jié)果:是約有441,000,000項符合available的查詢結(jié)果,即4億多條,但是我們用過幾次。他們愛用的我們老不用,難怪正宗度老是大打折扣。要學習例句,google.com里多得是。幾億條了可不是。

    第四詞 Surprise
    有人可能會說,這個詞有什么了不起?選中這個詞,完全就看重這個詞包含的一種文化。西方人注重生活情調(diào),特別看重帶給朋友或家人的“驚喜”。
    1、我男朋友來看我了。真是個驚喜!
    My boyfriend has come to see me. It's really a big surprise! (what a surprise!)
    2、對于這名老教師來說,真是驚喜連連啊。
    To this veteran teacher, it's one surprise after another.
    這個詞不難用。作為國人,要提高自己的生活趣味,就多點surprise吧!
    在google.com中,約有25,100,000項符合surprise的查詢結(jié)果。

    第五詞 Skills
    作“技能、水平”講。以前一想到“水平”一詞,就會想到level一詞,但是老外可不是這么想的。skills一詞,更近。
    1、怎樣才能提高我們的英語水平?
    Chinglish:How to improve our English level? (他們一般不這么說,但是應該可以看懂)
    Revision :How to improve our English skills?
    2、他寫作、翻譯水平很高。
    Chinglish:His writing and translating level are very high.
    Revision:He has very good writing and translation skills.
    現(xiàn)在追求技術的時代,skills也走俏。什么English skills, communications skills, computer skills, study skills, survival skills, writing skills...都泛濫了,我們也"決口"一次如何?

    第六詞 Offer
    這個詞比較微妙。英譯中時不太好處理,正因如此,這個詞才值得我們重視。
    1、謝謝你的好意,不過我可以走回去。
    Chinglish: Thank you for your goodwill, but I can go home on foot.
    Revision: Thanks for your offer, but I can walk home.
    2、全國人民紛紛向災區(qū)伸出了援助之手。
    version 1: People from all over the country all giving their hands to the disaster area.
    Alt Version: People from all over the country are offering helping hands to the disaster area.
    3、他給了一件工作給我。
    version 1: He gave me a job to do.
    Better version: He offered me a job.
    Offer可以做動詞用,也可以做名詞用。還有一些固定搭配,其中Job offer非常紅。
    凡是帶有“給予”、“善意提供的(幫忙)”等意思,就可以考慮offer這個詞。我們可以把give一些空間讓點給offer。
    這個機會可是我最后給你的。答應不答應隨你的便。This is my last offer to you. Take it or leave it.

    第七詞 Difference
    意思是差別。對于difference只需要掌握一到兩個短語,我們口語水平就會前進一大步,讓你的同學對你刮目相看,那就是make a difference(有很大不同)或make no differences(沒什么不同)。
    1、你說的什么移動、聯(lián)通, 我看還不一路貨色。
    You're talking about Telecom and Unicom. The way I see it, they make no differences at all.
    2、這種化妝品你用用看,效果絕對不一樣。
    Chinglish: Please use this kind of cosmetics, the effect is absolutely different.
    Revision: Please try this sort of cosmetics, i bet it'll make a big difference.
    (不好意思,我就是喜歡try這個詞)
    3、上帝啊,再給我一次機會,我不會再這樣了。
    Chinglish: God, please give me a chance again, I won't do this again.
    Revision: God, please grant me another chance, and I'll make a difference.
    凡是一樣不一樣,都可以考慮這2個短語,你用好了,絕對可以make a difference。
    另外說一下,受教科書的影響,說不同的時候中國學生習慣be different from這一句型。但是很多時候differ from這個動詞形式更簡單,try it, and you'll make a difference,讓你的老師、同學對你刮目相看。
    西方人崇尚個人奮斗,追求與他人不一樣。這個詞,對于他們來說,太神圣了。在google.com中,make a difference這一短語搜索結(jié)果近600萬,我們用過幾次了。所以以后有條件,我們就要make a difference,沒有條件時,創(chuàng)建條件也要make a difference。

    第八詞 Point
    pointless(沒意義)一詞也算它一伙的。 提到這個詞,完全是meaning 一詞在作怪。
    1、你這樣做是什么意思?
    Chinglish: What is your meaning in doing this?
    Revision: What's your point?
    2、如果你抽煙的話,就別怕得癌癥。再問“上帝怎么這樣對我啊”沒什么意義。
    Chinglish: If you smoke, you should not be to get lung cancer. It's meaningless to ask "why did God do this to me?". (注:meaningless 可用,但是老外不愛用,愛用的是我們)
    Revision: If you smoke, you should be prepared to get lung cancer; it's pointless to
    ask "why did God do this to me?".
    要洗腦子,轉(zhuǎn)變中式思維習慣,就別怕“矯枉過正”。以后凡是遇到“有意義”、“沒意義”的時候,先考慮point/poinless,而不要先考慮meaning什么的。

    第九詞 Access
    意思很多,英漢不好一一對應,先看一些例句。
    1、我這里上不了網(wǎng)。
    Chinglish: I can't go on internet here. (老外還以為是你有事、或這里不適合而不能上網(wǎng))
    Revision: I can't access the web/the internet here. (說明想上但是上不了)
    2、天!今天我郵箱打不開了!
    Chinglish: My god! I can't open my mail box today! (我看也可以這么說,但是這樣說不如下面的好)
    Revision: My god! I can't access my mail box today!
    3、那間房子我無權(quán)進入。
    Chinglish: I'm not allowed to come into this room.
    Revision: I don't have access to that room.
    這個詞網(wǎng)絡味比較濃,既然我們天天上網(wǎng)來混,應該多了解一下。

    第十詞 Sense
    這個詞主要由于幾個相關短語而流行的。
    這幾個短語分別是: a sense of (responsibility, humor...)---有幽默感等, make sense/not make any sense,有意義,沒意義(所以我說別老用meaningless,不是人家聽不懂,那很中式的)。
    1、我很喜歡他。他很有幽默感。
    Chinglish: I very like him. He is very humorous.
    Revision: I like him very much. He has a good sense of humor.
    2、我知道,不過有的地方?jīng)]什么意義。
    Chinglish: I know, but it's meaningless in some places.
    Revision: I know, but again at some point it doesn't make any sense.
    3、什么?至少六周?這樣做有什么意義呢?
    What? at least 6 weeks? Does it make any sense?(或what's your point?)

    第十一詞: Afford
    意思是買的起,付得起、花得起時間、金錢、精力等。
    但是Afford只能表示能力,不表示意愿。例如我們可以說I'm willing to pay, but I really can't afford it,而不能說I'm willing to afford it。
    用好這個詞,我們的水平就會提高一個檔次,讓你的同學打心底里佩服。
    1、這頂帽子貴得也太離譜了,我買不起。
    Chinglish: This hat is extremely expensive, I can't buy it.
    Revision: This hat is so expensive that I can't afford it.
    2、這個村子里好多兒童都上不起學。
    Chinglish: Lots of kids can't go to school because they're poor. (意思表達出來了但是不精練)
    Revision: Plenty of kids in this village can't afford to go to school (can't afford education).
    3、抱歉,我跟你玩不起。
    Chinglish: Sorry, I can't play with you.
    Revision: I can't afford to play 'games' with you, sorry.
    這100詞到底要寫多長時間,我也不知道?,F(xiàn)在工作太忙了所以我還得慢慢寫,I can't afford to lose my job, because I'm the bread-winner and I have a big family to support.

    第十二詞 Deserve
    這個詞字面意思是“值得”、“該受到”,可褒可貶。用到的場合其實挺多的。幾個例句就可以解決問題。
    1、你是老鼠戲貓,真是自作自受!
    Chinglish: You're like a rat teasing a cat... (下面不會了)
    Revision: I think you're playing with fire. You deserve it!
    2、那個好心女孩終于嫁給了她的心上人。她是有好報。
    Chinglish: That good-hearted girl was married to the man in her heart at last. She was good so she had a good end.
    Revision: That good-hearted girl married her 'prince' finally. She deserved it.
    3、你竟敢這樣對我?找打?。?BR>    Chinglish: How dare you do this to me? Do you want me to beat you?
    Revision: How dare you do this to me? You deserve a kick in the ass!
    4、你很有能力,你應該找到更好的工作才是!
    You're very able. You deserve a better job.
    這個詞比較微妙,個人喜歡這個詞,不多說了。
    If you think that I deserve some applauses or flowers, why not let me know about it

    第十三詞 Frustrated
    表示心情沮喪、灰心喪氣時,老外偏愛frustrated這一詞。我們喜歡是sad, lose one's heart等表達法。
    沒說過frustrated一詞三次以上的,那么英語還不算入門(別罵我啊,我只可是考慮再三才說滴,沒說過的話,現(xiàn)在說也來得及)。
    用法特別簡單。當你覺得灰心喪氣時,forget about "sad", use this word instead.
    1、沒有一個女孩子給我寫過信,我真是沮喪極了。
    I'm so frustrated that no girls wrote to me.
    2、公司業(yè)績總是不好,總經(jīng)理真是心灰意懶。
    Chinglish: The total manager is very sad because the achievement is not good.
    Revision: The general manager is so frustrated for the poor performance of his company.
    If, if lots of people come and shout to me:"Coolmax, your English is so poor and limited!" I'll be extremely frustrated
    再說一遍,以后要常說 frustrated 哦!說多了,你就有老外的感覺了。

    第十四詞 Indifferent
    這一詞表示冷漠、無動于衷的意思。很容易用,用起來就讓人覺得地道。既然這么好用,我們就該多用,用過了也沒事。
    其名詞形式是indifference。
    1、為什么對這次海嘯受害者有些人卻無動于衷?
    Why some people are so indifferent to the victims of this tsunami?
    2、他對別人對他的侮辱與嘲笑不屑一顧。
    He was indifferent to insults and scorns thrown at him.
    When I was very young, I liked a girl named "Xiaofang" very much, and I tryied all the means available to please her, but still she was indifferent to me. I was utterly frustrated and gave up at last.
    第十五詞 Promise
    許諾,承諾。西方人很神圣的一個詞,我們不可不用,也不可濫用?!熬右谎?,駟馬難追”??!
    對于Promise一詞,我們用真誠的心來使用它。
    1、君子一言,駟馬難追
    A promise is a promise. (最簡單、最樸實的語言,蘊藏了多少艱辛?。?BR>    2、我保證我再也不犯這種錯誤了。
    I promise I won't make this kind of mistakes again!
    說話算數(shù)哦!再說一遍,不可不用,不可濫用,好神圣的一個詞。對于老外,哪怕是你隨口答應的,也一定要辦到!現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)有老外控告我們中國人老說謊了!例如一起合影,有學生隨口答應給老外洗一張,結(jié)果老外等來等去,就是沒人給送。其實文化不太一樣,我們委婉謝絕或說點便宜話,但是他們看不出來的。

    第十六詞 Hurt
    “受傷”或“疼痛”的意思??赡苁巧砩鲜軅?,更表示心里上受傷。很紅的一個詞,失戀的人必備詞匯。唉,我們的傳統(tǒng)英文教育就是那么回事,學了10年英文,不知道“我手指疼”怎么說的大有人在。
    1、對不起啊,我是無意傷害你的。
    Chinglish: Sorry, I didn't want to harm you on purpose.
    Revision: Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you.
    2、哦,天哪!你竟然不理我了。我受傷了。
    Chinglish: Oh, God, you don't notice me! I am injured.(Injure一詞一般不用于心理方面的傷害)。
    Revision: Oh, God, how come you start to ignore me! I'm hurt.
    3、別動我,我右手大拇指指疼。
    Chinglish: Don't move me! My right thumb aches. (動某人的話也可以用 touch)
    Revision: Leave me alone! My right thumb hurts.

    第十七詞 Mislead
    其形容詞是Misleading,被動形式是be mislead。意思是誤導。我們國人不太愛說,但是愛好政治與辯論的老外整天把這個詞掛在嘴上。所以我們要學。
    這個詞不難用,關鍵是思維方式不同。
    1、你沒有意識到這份報紙在誤導民眾嗎?
    Haven't you realized this newspaper is misleading its readers?
    2、我覺得你是被宣傳誤導了,也許是被洗了腦子了。
    I deem that you're mislead by the propaganda and maybe you're brainwashed.
    So, my only wish reagarding this thread is that I'm not misleading.

    第十八詞 Offend
    這個詞表示“冒犯”、“得罪”,老外整天掛在嘴上。我們要跟進。一般用法是offend sb.被動是be/get offended.
    要善于識別offend使用范圍。漢語語言特別豐富,所以我們要特別注重內(nèi)在含義。
    1、你對她的穿著評頭論足,她可能會不高興。
    Chinglish: You're commenting on her dress; she might be unhappy. (還不太中式,但是想不到offend一詞就是罪過)
    Revision: You're criticising her dress sense. She might be offended.
    2、我什么時候得罪她了?她這人真怪!
    Chinglish: When did I do bad to her? She is so strange! (不算太中式,但是想不到offend就是罪過)
    Revision: Have I ever offended her? She's just being so weird!

    第十九詞 Update
    這個詞特別簡單,但是我們不容易說好,一般是學一次,知道重要性后,終生難忘。
    表示更新后的信息,也可以做動詞,進行更新?,F(xiàn)在知識更新特別快,難怪這個詞也吃香。
    1、新的在哪?
    Chinglish: Where is the new one?(不算太中式,但是中國學生會用update會讓人刮目相看)
    Revision: Where's the update?
    2、這是最后一次的更新。
    Chinglish: This is the newest change.
    Revision: This is the latest update. (會用latest的也不簡單)

    哎喲,這個詞好厲害哦,太流行了,不論是英文的challenge還是中文的"挑戰(zhàn)"都快用爛了。以前我們流行說“把壓力變成動力”,而老外則流行說“face the challenge”(面對挑戰(zhàn)),思維方式不同是關鍵?,F(xiàn)在我們要學英文了,我們想學好英文了,所以思維方式要跟著人家走。
    1、這個任務難做啊,但是不做不行呀。
    Chinglish: This task is very difficult and I have to do it.(意思有了,但是用詞功夫還需要多多修煉)
    Revision: This task is very challenging.(怎么樣?既簡練,又把內(nèi)涵說出來了)
    2、甲:這次我們做主。 乙:我反對!
    Chinglish: A--Let us decide it this time. B--I oppose that!
    Revision: A--We're the boss this time. B--I challenge that! (challenge還有表示正式宣布反對的意思”)
    由于這個詞泛濫了,我不想多舉例子了。但是雖然泛濫,但是暫時還沒有取代這個詞的其它字眼,所以我們還得用。

    第二十一詞: Fail
    表示沒辦到,沒做到,失信,或該做什么沒做。這個詞用好了,也不簡單了。不過這個詞特別好用。我們只需要加學一個fail to句型。
    1、他昨天在演講中沒有提到過我們。(背景:該提到但是沒提到)
    Version 1: He didn't mention us in his speech yesterday.
    Better version: He failed to mention us in his speech yesterday.
    2、如果應用程序啟動不了,也別慌張。
    Chinglish: If the program can't be started, please don't be .
    Revision: If the application fails to load, just relax.

    這個詞看起來簡單,但是如果看不起它的話就不容易用好。用好了可以幫助我們省大力氣,一旦接受就可以為我們所用。
    這里不討論它的“離開”含義。那個確實很簡單。要討論的是“放任”、“不干涉”以及“造成。。。的后果”等意思。弄清下列例句就可以學好leave 這個詞。
    1、別管我/別打擾我!
    Leave me alone! (超級經(jīng)典)
    2、門別關。
    Chinglish: Don't close the door.

    那個在封建社會可是個常見的現(xiàn)象。
    Chinglish: It was a familiar phenomenon in the feudatorial society.

    第二十九詞 [b]Lose[b]
    動詞是lose,表示失去、丟失的意思。如果是形容人,流行用loser,一些教養(yǎng)不好的人動不動就稱別人是loser,與這樣的人打交道可得小心了。
    這些詞用法比較廣泛,而且比較散。
