雅思口语高频使用的中式表达汇总

  同学们应该都听过一个词叫“Chinglish”,也就是“中式英语”,有的中式英语比如“long time no see”也会被native speaker拿来用作日常用语。但总的来说大部分的中式英语还是不适合用在雅思口语考场上的,甚至其中有一些还会引起考官的误解!

  1、Something let me...

  常见错误用法:Travelling let me have new experiences.

  很多同学在这里使用“let”是想表达“使/让我能够...”,但“let”仅用于号召某人做他已经有计划去做的事情,比如:Some people seem to let their kids do whatever they like.

  改为“It allows/enables/helps me to …”更加准确

  例句:Reading magazines allows people to have new insights.

  2、Physical ability

  常见错误用法:Doing sports can improve my physical ability.

  这个短语就是很中式的表达,正确的应该改为:

  It can improve my health.

  It generally improves my overall quality of fitness level.

  3、It adds joys to my life.

  也是典型的中文直译成英文的表达:它给我的生活增添乐趣。最好改为:

  It always brightens/makes my day/week.

  4、visual pleasure/auditory pleasure/taste enjoyment

  同学们能不能猜到这些是什么意思?其实是“视觉享受/听觉享受/味觉享受”的错误翻译

  正确的用法是:

  …is pleasing to my ears/eyes.

  …is visually pleasing / aesthetically pleasing.

  It tastes amazing!

  5、Arouse my echo

  错误用法:This TV program aroused people’s echoes.

  其实完全无法引起考官共鸣...正确的打开方式应该是:

  I feel I have a strong connection with the plot / story in this movie.

  6、boring

  这个词可谓雅思口语错误使用的重灾区!很多同学会说:“I'm so boring.”其实这句话的意思是“我令人感到无聊...”,一般“-ed”结尾的形容词才是用于描述主观感受的。

  应该改为:I’m so bored.

  The class is so boring.

  其它要注意的词还有“exciting/excited”、“annoyed/annoying”、“depressed/depressing”等。

  7、have a try

  这个也可以算是Chinglish的代表了,建议使用这些表达替代→give it a try/try it

  正确用法应该是:

  Although painting is not right up my alley(不是我的菜), I would like to give it a try.

  8、have a rest

  这也是一个同学们习惯说,但不正确的表达,因为在词典中,“rest”指“a period of time when you are not doing anything tiring and you can relax or sleep”,即时间较久的休息,通常有一周以上甚至一个月左右的长时间休息。如果想表达短暂的休息,可以说:take a break / relax / unwind/have a breather(喘口气)

  正确用法应该是:

  At the weekend, I often stay at home to take a break.
