誰說一個問句,只能有一種標準問法??
誰說一個問句,只能有一種標準回答??
美國人一天平均會問多少個問題,又會回答多少個答案?
Yes, No, Maybe so! 回答可以一本正經、可以充滿心機、也可以幽默風趣。捨棄教課書式回答,才能成為英語社交高手。
請問,學習英語多年的你,是否曾經碰過以下狀況?
狀況A:跟來自國外的友人聊天時,他們聽得懂你問的問題,但他們的回答卻讓 你一頭霧水,明明每個單字好像都學過,可是放在同一個句子裡,卻讓你百思不得其解。
狀況B:本來對自己的英語能力很有自信的你,千里迢迢到了歐洲或美國旅遊時,卻發現自己說的英語,根本跟當地人道地的英語差了十萬八千里。最糟糕的是,你想問路、點餐或是跟當地人用英語閒聊兩句時,他們根本搞不清楚你到底要表達的意思是什麼。
如果你曾經遇過上述任何一個狀況,別擔心,你不是英語能力不夠好,而是學習的英語不夠豐富多元。也許你從小到大都是用功的好學生,但你可能總是侷限於填鴨式的英語教學,導致與外國人對話時,腦中只會浮現出教科書的制式問答,脫口而出的英語當然也不夠道地,因為這些都是你從課本上死記硬背而來的內容。也許你會認為,從來沒有出國留學的自己,到底要怎樣才能學習像老外一樣道地的英語?別擔心,從今天開始…
不用出國,也可學英語Q&A:
1.4大分類、50個情境,1天24小時說英語
只要與「人」互動,就需要Q&A。本書分五大類,七十個情境,超過四百個美國人天天都必須回答的問題。不論職場工作、人際關係、海外旅遊、購物殺價等需要與「人」溝通的狀況,都能應對自如。
2.思想坦克(Think Tank),收錄所有可能的Q&A問答
英語的Think Tank就是「智囊團」。本書捨棄教科書式一問一答的刻板模式。每個問題,皆提供多種回答,不論回答是肯定、否定或是猶豫不決,思想坦克都能提供解答,英語表達力保證與美國人一樣活靈活現。
3.問答小提示,輕鬆成為英語社交高手
每個問答除了解釋常用片語外,並補充「對話小心機」,提示最適合的使用時機及場合。每個問題提供的多個回答選項中,貼心標注「有禮」與「無禮」的符號,從此不再當個英語門外漢,保證對答如流,脫口秀英語。
英語想要說得好,就要像美國人一樣思考!
只要掌握有問有答的英語Q&A,你就可以成為最受老外歡迎的社交高手!
很多人都有曾經在社交場合中出糗的經驗。其實,不同場合需要使用不同的說話語氣,有些人在正式場合拼命想展現自己的幽默感,因而弄巧成拙;有些人為了炫耀自己的英語能力,使用不合時宜的句子或單詞,造成班門弄斧的反效果;更有些人連在哪種場合該使用哪種語氣的句子都搞不清楚。別擔心,《美國大街小巷都在用的英語問答Q&A》就是要告訴你,如何在正確場合使用最符合時宜的會話:
正式場合:不論肯定回答或否定拒絕,態度一定要堅定有禮。表明重點並堅持自己的立場才是唯一準則。
社交場合:社交場合的語氣可以輕鬆隨性。適度展現幽默感可以讓自己成為受歡迎的人物。然而,開玩笑時切忌尖酸刻薄,也要避免戳他人痛處。
旅遊娛樂:當身旁圍繞著自己的親朋好友時,當然可以盡情表達自己的想法,開口也不必字字斟酌。這個時候就不需害怕展現自己一口道地的英語。
還在擔心在正式場合說錯話嗎?本書貼心地將所有答案依序排列,從「有禮」~「無禮」,以「笑臉」和「哭臉」符號標示,保證從此不再說錯話!!
社交場合保證不冷場的6大Q&A技巧:
1.以英語問句引導回答,說出一口最道地的英語。
2.依照日常生活一定會碰到的狀況分類,方便迅速查找。
3.條列式例舉各種可能的回答,各種疑難雜症一次解決。
4.告別一板一眼的回答方式,多元活潑學習英語進退對應。
5.貼心設計「有禮」與「無禮」標示,各式場合絕不出糗。
6.完整實用的補充,教你「見人說人話」的談話心機。
分類最完整.情境最活潑.內容最全面.問句最詳細.補充最實用.回答最多元

序
作者序
有一次我在路上碰到一位自己在補習班教過的學生,這位學生穿著學校制服,正比手畫腳地跟一位拿著地圖的老外對話。這位學生平時上課都很專心聽講,下課也常針對艱深的課程提出問題,平時考試成績不錯,在校的英文成績也很理想,是一位標準的用功學生。但面對老外的他在當時卻顯得十分慌亂,不只臉紅氣喘,還雙手抓頭,一副不知如何是好的樣子。我見狀,立刻走到他身邊試著幫忙。一問之下,才知道原來我的學生非常熱心,一看到這位手拿地圖,狀似迷路的老外,不經思索便走上前詢問這位外國人是否需要幫助。
令這位學生不知所措的是,平常對自己英語能力很有信心的他,一開始自信滿滿地問老外需不需要幫忙,沒想到老外一開口回應,他才發現自己根本聽不懂這位外國人在說什麼。我聞言,立刻詢問這位外國人需要什麼樣的幫助。以下是我與這位老外的對話:
I:How may I help you? Are you lost?
Foreigner:Umm… Not really. I am just trying to grab a bite to eat. Do you have any clue if there are nice places for Chinese cuisine?
I:Actually, If you like Chinese food such as steamed pork buns and wontons, there is a great Chinese restaurant right across the street.
Foreigner:You don’t happen to know their opening hours, do you?
I:As a matter of fact, I do. They open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Foreigner:Great! Many thanks.
以下是我與這位老外的對話中譯:
我:有什麼我可以幫忙的嗎?你迷路了嗎?
老外:呃…不算迷路啦。我只是想找地方吃點東西。你知道附近有哪些供應中國美食的好地方嗎?
我:其實,如果你喜歡像是鮮肉包或是餛飩之類的中國菜,對面就有一家很棒的中國餐廳。
老外:你不會剛好知道他們的營業時間吧!
我:事實上,我知道。他們營業時間是早上十一點到晚上十一點。
老外:太好了。多謝。
回答這位老外的問題後,我好奇地問這位學生到底老外說的那一句話讓他聽不懂。原來,他聽不懂的地方是”grab a bite to eat”以及”have any clue”,這位學生說:「我瞭解句子的每個單字,可是合併後,怎麼這麼難懂啊?」其實,”grab a bite to eat”是老外很常用的一個片語,意思是「吃點東西」;而”have any clue”就是「知道、瞭解」的意思。
聽完我的解釋後,這位學生皺眉,一臉苦惱地對我說:「為什麼他不直接說”I want to eat something. Do you know any good Chinese restaurants?”呢?課本上都是這樣教的啊?」
沒錯!台灣學生學習英語的詬病就是:「教課書就是這樣教的,我只要背下來,考試保證可以考高分!」受到這種過於重視考試成績的文化影響下,許多台灣學生只要熟知題型,並將教課書及參考書背得滾瓜爛熟,就可以成為考試拿高分的高手。但是真正碰到必須活用英語的情況時,卻支支吾吾,無法將考試的技巧應用在日常對話中。
從事補教業多年,我深知台灣學生學習英語的障礙及通病。因此,幾經思索後,我決定與我識出版社的編輯企劃這本《美國大街小巷都在用的英語問答Q&A》,徹底破解一個問題只能有一種回答的迷思。
本書分「交談禮儀」、「日常生活」、「旅遊指南」、「休閒娛樂」及「情緒表達」5大類,70個情境,收錄超過400個問題。每個問題的回答方式豐富又多元,不管回答是肯定、否定、甚至猶豫不決,本書一一提供你解答。每個回答依照「有禮 ~ 無禮」的程度依序排列。從此不論你在「較正式」或「較隨性」的場合,都可以依照口氣及禮貌程度選用最適合的回答,保證讓所有人刮目相看。
不論你是從沒出國留學過的英語學習者,還是接受填鴨式教育多年的台灣讀者,甚至是英語程度不錯,但仍想加強自己對話技巧的讀者,我們相信,有了本書的幫助,你絕對可以循序漸進地提升自己的溝通能力。在此,預祝所有讀者都能成為最受老外歡迎的社交高手。
