Odie的英语课 534 Vague language 11 不礼貌的情况 A


Listen Later

533 复习

等等,等,以及其他

and so on [正式,书面]

and so forth [正式]

et cetera [正式,书面] 缩写为 etc.

I need some help getting ready for dinner, setting the table, and so on. 我需要一些帮助来准备晚餐,摆桌子等等。


这节课我们要学的是有几个词,当比我们年长的人问我们具体的问题时,如果单独使用这些词来回答,会显得不太礼貌。


比如:stuff

[a father to his son]

A: What did you do at school today?

B: Stuff. 

A: 你今天在学校做什么了?

B: 没干什么。/ 就那些事。

* 这里儿子回答Stuff.不太礼貌,听起来像是:我不想跟你说/不想告诉你。I don't want to talk to you. 


还有这些词:

(when,where,who,what,which,how 加上 -ever —>)

whenever,wherever,whoever,whatever,whichever,however

在别人对我们进行具体询问时,中文都可以说成“无所谓,随便”。

* 这些词本身不是不礼貌的。

it doesn't matter when

请大家和我读一下
