作為母語(yǔ)是中文的英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)者,特別是英語(yǔ)初學(xué)者,想必經(jīng)常遇到的一大難題就是難以規(guī)避的Chinglish表達(dá)。我們的母語(yǔ)環(huán)境在每一位學(xué)習(xí)者身上都刻上了深深的烙印,產(chǎn)生了極具標(biāo)志性的影響。這樣的影響從表面來(lái)看在于語(yǔ)言,從深層來(lái)看,其實(shí)在于思維。細(xì)心并且渴求突破學(xué)習(xí)瓶頸的你,一定還記得前不久分享給大家的“體驗(yàn)式學(xué)習(xí)法“。想必大家也了解到:體驗(yàn)式學(xué)習(xí)法的要點(diǎn)之一是培養(yǎng)英語(yǔ)思維,將英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)切實(shí)地聯(lián)系到自身的生活體驗(yàn)和經(jīng)歷中。教研君一直秉承這樣的觀點(diǎn):語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)的最終目的是交流,活學(xué)活用才是根本之道。因此如何讓我們所講的英語(yǔ)真正為native的老外所聽(tīng)懂,是我們進(jìn)行英語(yǔ)交流的最初出發(fā)點(diǎn)也是最終歸宿。

可是一講到交流,大家就要哭訴:“老外講的話(huà)明明每個(gè)詞我都認(rèn)識(shí),但連起來(lái)我就是搞不清楚正確的意思?!被蛘撸骸拔抑v的話(huà)沒(méi)有錯(cuò)啊,和我構(gòu)想的中文意思一字不差、一一對(duì)應(yīng)呢,可是為什么老外就是聽(tīng)不懂?”小伙伴們,這就是我們所說(shuō)的文化和思維差異啦。簡(jiǎn)單地說(shuō),為了達(dá)到語(yǔ)言交流的目的,我們就要有意地規(guī)避明顯存在的文化和思維差異,盡可能地貼近目標(biāo)語(yǔ)言慣用的表達(dá)方式。在本文中,教研君暫且將這些慣用的表達(dá)方式稱(chēng)作“俚語(yǔ)”(實(shí)際上,依據(jù)不同標(biāo)準(zhǔn),對(duì)于“俚語(yǔ)”一詞的定義也是不一的)。本文整理了一些與人際交往相關(guān)的常用俚語(yǔ)。不用多說(shuō),直接上表格。絕對(duì)精華,值得小伙伴們猛烈收藏!
