反復(fù)操練、滾瓜爛熟、據(jù)為己有、隨時(shí)賣弄!

人們?cè)谌粘Ｉ钪胁浑x口的都是小詞、短句。學(xué)會(huì)使用適當(dāng)?shù)膽T用語短句進(jìn)行交談，就會(huì)讓別人覺得你的英語地道、精煉而流利。我們每期為你精選的100個(gè)超級(jí)短句都是在美國(guó)好萊塢電影中頻頻出現(xiàn)的最常用、最時(shí)髦的口語精華，幫助大家表達(dá)英語更加地道、生動(dòng)、活潑、自然。
【Kim’s Note】When Americans speak they like to use as few words as possible to get their meaning across. Learning these spoken elements will make you sound natural and more like a native speaker. These are the sentences that appear in movies and TV shows because they are the most authentic American English. These sentences are the way people really talk to each other! The formal dialogues in most traditional textbooks sound very unnatural and are more difficult to learn.
【李老師的建議】
上面的這段話一定要用“三最法”脫口而出！一步登天，顯示出你對(duì)美國(guó)、美國(guó)語言、美國(guó)文化的了解。
【錄音說明】
1. Any more?（還有嗎？/ 還要嗎？）
2. Are you alone?（你一個(gè)人嗎？）
3. Are you ready?（你準(zhǔn)備好了嗎？）
【Kim’s Note】I always use this sentence to encourage someone who is taking too long. Teacher Li has heard me use this sentence hundreds of times!
4. Be my guest.（別客氣！/ 請(qǐng)用?。?【Kim’s Note】 If you use these three little words when someone makes a request, you will amaze people with your English. In fact, if you say this when someone is just looking at an empty seat beside you, they will feel grateful and relieved! It is much more eloquent than saying “Sit down please!”
【瘋狂實(shí)戰(zhàn)】
A: Pardon me, Miss, but may I sit here?
（對(duì)不起，小姐，我可以坐這里嗎？）
B: Be my guest.
（當(dāng)然，別客氣！）
5. Can you believe it?（你能相信嗎？）
6. Don’t argue!（不要爭(zhēng)辯！）
7. Don’t be childish.（別那么孩子氣。）
8. Don’t bother.（不必麻煩。）
【Kim’s Note】This is a good way to put someone at ease when you feel she has done too much for you. It let’s a person know that it is not necessary to treat you as a guest!
【瘋狂實(shí)戰(zhàn)】
A: Do you want me to help you with your bags.
（要我?guī)湍懔喟鼏?？?B: Don’t bother, they’re not heavy.
（不用麻煩了，這些包不重。）
9. Don’t get upset!（不要煩惱?。?【Kim’s Note】 Most of the time this sentence comes before news that is really upsetting, but it is still useful. In fact, sometimes clever people use this to deliver news that isn’t that bad. They know that when a person hears these words, she automatically assumes the worst. If the news isn’t that bad, it always comes as a big relief!
10. Don’t mind me.（別管我。）
11. Did you get it?（你懂了嗎？）
12. Forget it!（算了吧?。?【Kim’s Note】 I always call this Teacher Li’s number one American sentence. It is without a doubt one of the most frequently heard sentences in American English!
13. Enjoy yourself!（盡情享受吧?。?14. Get off my back!（我受夠了！/ 別煩我?。?【Kim’s Note】If you are facing too much pressure from your parents, your boss, or your boyfriend or girlfriend, you can yell this sentence to get some relief.
【瘋狂實(shí)戰(zhàn)】
A: I really think you need to spend more time studying and less time watching TV.

15. Go ahead!（去吧！/ 請(qǐng)便?。?16. He gave me the cold shoulder.（他對(duì)我很冷漠。）
【瘋狂實(shí)戰(zhàn)】
A: I don’t know why Kim gave me the cold shoulder when I said “hi” to her.
（我不知道為什么每次我對(duì)金姆說“嗨”的時(shí)候她都對(duì)我很冷漠。）
B: You know, she is moody sometimes. I wouldn’t worry about it.
（你知道她有時(shí)候喜怒無常，我是不會(huì)為此而擔(dān)心的。）
17. He hit the roof!（他勃然大怒?。?【Kim’s Note】Some people really hit the roof if you give them the cold shoulder. Both of these idioms are very useful in everyday conversations, but really have a different meaning than their words suggest.
18. He was a fake.（他是個(gè)騙子。）
【瘋狂實(shí)戰(zhàn)】
A: Why didn’t you like Lily’s new boyfriend?
（為什么你不喜歡莉莉的新男朋友？）

（他是個(gè)騙子。我一直都很討厭像他那樣的騙子。）
19. He’s bad medicine.（他是個(gè)喪門星。）20. Here you go.（就是這樣。）
【瘋狂注釋】
當(dāng)我們了解對(duì)方提出問題的內(nèi)容，而且隨即可以為之解決時(shí)，這句話就可派上用場(chǎng)。通常在解決問題或動(dòng)作完成之后，或者一邊動(dòng)作，一邊說出這句話。
【瘋狂實(shí)戰(zhàn)】
A: This is the first time I’ve used this copy machine. Can you show me how to use it?
（這是我第一次使用這臺(tái)復(fù)印機(jī)，你能示范給我看看嗎？）
B: Here you go. Just press the button.
（喏，就這樣。只要按下這個(gè)鈕。）
【Kim’s Note】 Anytime you receive merchandise in a store or change from paying a bill you will automatically hear this sentence. Get into the habit of saying it in your daily life.
* You ordered the chicken right? Here you go.
（你點(diǎn)了雞肉是嗎？來了。）
* Your change is eleven dollars and thirteen cents. Here you go.
（找給你11元13分。給?。?21. I am sorry to be late.（對(duì)不起我遲到了。）

24. I have no problem with that.（對(duì)此我沒有問題。）
25. I wish it were true.（我希望這是真的。）

【瘋狂實(shí)戰(zhàn)】

（我不知道。我不會(huì)做飯，連水都不會(huì)燒。）
27. I’d rather not.（我不愿意。）
28. I'll say.（就是嘛?。?【瘋狂注釋】
用于表示極為贊同對(duì)方的意思，用在表示強(qiáng)烈地附和對(duì)方所說的話。比如對(duì)方說“犯罪這種事真是難以叫人寬恕，其中又以誘拐婦女兒童最為卑鄙無恥，罪大惡極”，這時(shí)候如果自己對(duì)此看法也深表同感時(shí)，即可以說“I’ll say!”
【瘋狂實(shí)戰(zhàn)】
A: I just don’t understand why she goes out with him. He’s so much younger than she is.
(我就是不明白，為什么她會(huì)和他約會(huì)。他年紀(jì)比她年輕多了。)
B: I’ll say! She must be old enough to be his mother.
（就是嘛！她老得可以做他母親了。）
29. I’m full.（我吃飽了。）
【Kim’s Note】This sentence is so useful at the end of a big Chinese banquet. However, the words “full” and “fool” are pronounced exactly the same. If you accidentally put the article “a” in front of full and say “I’m a full.” It will mean something totally different and make everyone at the table laugh!
30. It slipped my mind.（我記不起來了。）
【Kim’s Note】For some reason people find this sentence less offensive than just saying “I forgot”.
* I meant to call you when we got to Beijing. I was just so busy it slipped my mind.
（我本來打算一到北京就給你打電話的。但是我太忙了，所以忘記了。）
31. It really got to me.（我太感動(dòng)了。）
【瘋狂注釋】
用于表示深受感動(dòng)之意。比如看完一場(chǎng)悲傷的電影，心里很感動(dòng)，這一句話就可以派上用場(chǎng)，傳神而簡(jiǎn)單的表達(dá)出你的感受。
【瘋狂實(shí)戰(zhàn)】
A: What are you crying for? It’s just a movie.
（你哭什么嘛？這只是場(chǎng)電影啊?。?B: I know, but it really got to me when the little boy’s mother died.

32. It was all in vain.（一切都枉費(fèi)心機(jī)。）

39. It’s getting worse!（越來越糟了?。?40. It’s inevitable.（這是不可避免的。）
41. It’s my treat!（我請(qǐng)客?。?【Kim’s Note】 This is a great sentence to use if you want to show someone a kindness or celebrate! Also, if you’re not sure a date will say “yes” when you ask her out, you can add this as a bonus!
【瘋狂實(shí)戰(zhàn)】
A: Would you like to have lunch together sometime, my treat!
（什么時(shí)候愿意一起吃午飯嗎？我請(qǐng)客。）

54. Never again!（永遠(yuǎn)不再?。?55. Never mind.（算了；沒關(guān)系。）
【瘋狂注釋】

【瘋狂實(shí)戰(zhàn)】

（你先前要跟我說什么？）
B: Never mind, it wasn’t important.
（算了，并不重要。）
56. No problem!（沒問題！）
57. Not in my lifetime!（不可能！）
【Kim’s Note】This is an excellent way to refuse someone in a very clear way! It’s the same as saying “never! ”. It is also useful to express doubt or disbelief.
【瘋狂實(shí)戰(zhàn)】
