由于這樣或者那樣的原因，東西方人的思維方式之間有一定的差異，而這些不同就是通過不同的語言表現(xiàn)出來：
If you are interested in gymnastics, the university has an outstanding team.I can't even climb the stairs withoutshavingsto stop and catch my breath.
第一個(gè)人說："如果你對(duì)體操感興趣的話，學(xué)校里有個(gè)不錯(cuò)的體操隊(duì)。"其言外之意即給第二人提了個(gè)醒，"你想去參加嗎？"第二人的回答是："我爬樓梯還得停下來喘幾口氣呢！"
同樣道理，我這里還有幾個(gè)上乘佳句，大家可以從中進(jìn)一步體會(huì)美語的妙處：
1. Don't you just love the cold winter day?
你喜歡冬天么？
I sure do. Unfortunately, it doesn't like my skin.
當(dāng)然。但是，我的皮膚不喜歡。
言外之意：我是不喜歡這個(gè)冬天。
2. Can you come over for dinner tonight?
今晚你能過來吃飯么？
I'm up to my ears in work, so I'll have to take a rain check.
我工作忙的要死，所以能不能下次再說？
留兩句不錯(cuò)的對(duì)話給大家：
I need to find a psychologist(心理學(xué)家). You're familiar with Dr. Smith, do you recommend her?
Well, I've been seen by her a few times. And the best I can say for her is she has interesting magazines in her waiting room.
Man: I would go to the end of the world for you.
Woman: Yes, but would you stay there?
Let's go watch the fireworks(煙火) tonight.
I have tickets to the theatre.
