英語聊天中要回避的雷區
在與他人閒聊時，我們常常會評論他人的外表，可有時說出的話卻違揹我們的初衷，造成不必要的誤會，那可真叫啞巴吃黃連，有苦說不出啊。接下來，小編給大家準備了英語聊天中要回避的雷區,歡迎大家參考與借鑑。
Don't say: "You look tired."
Why: It implies she doesn't look good。
Instead say: "Is everything OK?" We often blurt the"tired" comment when we get the sense that the other person feels out of sorts. So just ask.
不要說"You look tired."(你看上去很累。)
這句話暗示了她看上去狀況不佳。
我們可以說"Is everything OK?"(你一切還好嗎?)我們會脫口而出"tired"這個詞是因爲感覺到對方有些消沉，所以直接問原因吧。
Don't say: "Wow, you've lost a ton of weight!"
Why: To a newly trim person, it might give the impression that she used to look unattractive。一個讓你臉紅的微信：vipwyqh，臉紅也得加額!
Instead say: "You look fantastic." And leave it at you're curious about how she got so svelte, add, "What's your secret?"
不要說"Wow, you've lost a ton of weight!"(哇塞，你減掉了N多斤啊!)
對一個剛恢復苗條的人來說，這句話給她的感覺是自己從前看上去很糟糕。想學習更多英語知識，請關注口袋英語aikoudaiyy
我們可以說"You look fantastic."(你看上去真棒。)，並且就此打住。如果你想知道她是如何變苗條的，那就加上一句"What's your secret?"(有啥祕訣呀?)
Don't say: "You look good for your age."
Why: Anything with a caveat like this is rude. It's saying,"You look great―compared with other old people. It's amazing you have all your own teeth."
Instead say: "You look great."
不要說"You look good for your age."(以你的年紀來說，你看上不錯啊。)
任何像這樣帶有告誡意味的話語都是粗魯的。這就是在說：“跟其他老傢伙比起來，你看上去不錯。你那口牙竟然一顆沒掉，太令人驚訝了。”
我們應該直接說"You look great."(你看上去很棒。)
Don't say: "I could never wear that."
Why: It can be misunderstood as a criticism. ("I could never wear that because it's so ugly.")
Instead say: "You look so good in skinny jeans." If you slip, say something like "I could never wear use I wasn't blessed with your long legs."
不要說"I could never wear that."(我可不會穿那樣的衣服。)
這話可以被誤解爲批評：“那衣服太醜了，我纔不要穿。”
我們應該說"You look so good in skinny jeans."(你穿緊身牛仔褲很漂亮。)假如你不小心說漏了嘴，那就這麼圓回來"I could never wear use I wasn't blessed with your long legs."(我是穿不了那褲子……因爲我沒你那樣修長的腿哎。)
擴展：when，where，why引導的定語從句
when，where，why作爲定語從句的引導詞，總稱爲關係副詞。下面用句子合併的方法分析它們的使用。
一、where引導的定語從句
請分析下面兩個簡單句：
句①I know a garden.
句②You can find wild strawberries there.
把句②變爲句①的定語從句，句①中的agarden做定語從句的先行詞。在句②中there指句①中提到的agarden也就是定語從句的先行詞，there在句中做地點狀語，因此要用where引導定語從句，代替句②中的there，也就是說there就不能出現在定語從句中了。由此得到句③I know a garden where you can find wild strawberries.
句②還可以寫作句④You can find wild strawberries in it(it指句①中的garden，“在花園中”要使用介詞短語in the garden)。把句④變爲句①的定語從句，因爲it做介詞in的賓語，先行詞是agarden，指物。在這種定語從句中介詞常常提到定語從句的開始，這時關係代詞只能使用which替代it，it就不能在定語從句中出現了。由此得到句⑤即：I know a garden in which you can find wild strawberries.
請把下面每組的兩句話合併爲一句，把第二句話變爲第一句的定語從句。
第一組：
This is the village.
I was born there.
→This is the village where I was born.
第二組：
The lab is not far from here.
The chemist often does experiments there.
→The lab where the chemist often does experiments is not far from here.
二、when引導的定語從句
請分析下面兩個簡單句：
句①We shall remember the days.
句②We studied together then.
把句②變爲句①的定語從句，句①中的the days做定語從句的先行詞。在句②中then指句①中提到的the days，也就是定語從句的先行詞，then在句中做時間狀語，因此要用when引導定語從句，代替句②中的then，也就是說then就不能出現在定語從句中了。由此得到句③We shall remember the days when we studied together.
句②還可以寫作句④We studied together during the days.(介詞短語during the days含義爲“在這些日子裏”)。把句④變爲句①的定語從句，因爲the days做介詞during的賓語，先行詞是the days，指物，在定語從句中介詞during提前，用關係代詞which替代the days，the days就不能在定語從句中出現了。由此得到句⑤We shall remember the days during which we studies together.
請把下面每組的兩句話合併爲一句，把第二句話變爲第一句的定語從句。
第一組：
I've always longed for the days.
I should be able to be independent then.
→I've always longed for the days when I should be able to be independent.
第二組：
There are moments.
I forget all about it then.
→There are moments when I forget all about it.
三、why引導的定語從句
請分析下面兩個簡單句：
句①He wanted to know the reason.
句②I was late for the reason.
把句②變爲句①的定語從句，句①中的the reasons做定語從句的先行詞。因爲the reason做介詞for的賓語，先行詞是the reason指物，在定語從句中介詞for提前，用關係代詞which替代the reason，the reason就不能在定語從句中出現了。由此得到句③He wanted to know the reason for which I was late.
注意：在定語從句中當先行詞爲the reason(s)，定語從句由for which引導時，可以用why代替for which。由此我們得到句⑤He wanted to know the reason why I was late.
請把下面兩句話合併爲一句，把第二句話變爲第一句的定語從句。
The reason is not very convincing1.
He came for the reason.
→The reason why he came is not very convincing.
The reason for which he came is not very convincing.
