他精力充沛美国人通常说:He is bouncy
,而不说 He is energetic,牢记一些日常对话中的句式是你生活中一把必备的钥匙
如:久仰,I get mind of you 比 I heard a lot about you
Did you get lost
有人开会迟到了,你若对他说 You are late
,听起来像是废话
若说 Did you get lost
,则更能让他感到歉疚,可千万别说成 Get lost
,那可是让人滚蛋的意思
Do you have the time
别人征求你的意见,问能否开窗户等,你要是说 You can do that

要比 Whats your name
礼貌得多,不过警察例外
I would rather not say
别人问你不愿公开的问题,切勿用 Its my secret, dont ask such a personal question

你可以说 I would rather not say
