【口语积累】
1. 有口音 speak with an accent
除了用speak with an accent,也可以说某人have an accent,如果是比较重的口音,可以用strong accent,比较轻的口音,可以说a hint of an accent。
She speaks English with a French accent.
她说英语带着法国口音。
He has a strong American accent.
他有很重的美国口音。
There was a hint of native accent in her speech.
她说话有一丝本土口音。
His English was flawless, but there was still a non-native inflection in his speech.
他的英语无懈可击,但说话还是带有非母语的语调。
2. 发音类似 pronounced as
小时候学英语的时候我们都用过“汉字注音法”,用中文汉字来标记英文单词的发音,而想要学会费翔的“商务殷语”,你得用英文单词来标记中文的发音,这种“注音”英文可以表述为XX is pronounced as或said like, sound like, sounds similar to等等。
The Chinese character "你好" is pronounced as "nee how."
汉字“你好”发音为“nee how”。
The phrase "谢谢" is said like "shieh shieh."
“谢谢”说起来像“shieh shieh”。
"水" sounds similar to "shway."
汉字“水”听起来类似于“shway”。
The Chinese word "书" sounds like the English word "shoe."
中文的“书”听起来像英文单词“shoe”。
3. 洗脑 earworm
形容某个音乐或声音很“洗脑”,可以说它是earworm(耳虫),还可以说它stuck in your head(在脑中挥之不去),hard to shake off(很难摆脱)。
This song is a real earworm; I can't get it out of my head.
这首歌真是太洗脑了,我摆脱不了它。
The chorus of that song is stuck in my head, I keep singing it unconsciously.
那首歌的副歌在我的脑海里盘旋,我不自觉地一直在唱。
The melody is so catchy, it's hard to shake off the tune once you've heard it.
这个旋律太容易上口了,一旦听过就摆脱不了。
4. 商务英语入门 basic business English
费翔老师说的是“商务殷语”,但真正的“商务英语”叫做business English,下面是一些学习商务英语的实用句子。
I've been considering learning some basic business English.
我一直在考虑学一些基础的商务英语。
I'm thinking about taking an online business English course.
