一个老生常谈的话题:英语要学好,开口最重要。
不过,这个“说”英语,到底是say,speak,talk。
还是tell呢?
你要是问“元芳你怎么看”,元芳不会知道。
但是华生知道。
SAY
释义:To express an idea,feeling,or thought – with words or gestures - you SAY it.
says的英文翻译,say描述的是说话的内容,比如“他说了他一定会来”。如果要表达和谁说了什么的意思,要说“say to”。
例句:
1. He said I can’t go.
2. Without saying a word,he made his feelings quite clear.
3. “Don’t cry,” she said.
4. Anything he says is not true. If his lips are moving,he’s lying.
他说的任何事都不是真的。
says的读音类似赛子。说,从言从兑,言辞以兑付。说为古代一种议论文体,既可说明记叙事物,也可发表议论,但都是为了陈述作者对社会上某些问题的观点。如:《爱莲说》,《捕蛇者说》这种事情。以议论为主,相当于现代的。
只要他一动嘴,就是在撒谎
SPEAK
释义:To talk to someone about something
与say描述说话内容不同,speak描述的是说话的动作,或者是单方面的谈话。比如“他没有说话”,“他向我说话”。Speak还有演讲的意思,“说某种语言”也是用speak。
例句:
1. Hello,may I speak to Jim Smith?
2. We had a huge fight and stopped speaking to each other for a long time.
3. Excuse me,can you speak Chinese?
4. Robert spoke at the teachers' annual convention.
TALK
释义:As part of a conversation,you TALK to others
虽说与speak的用法差不多,但speak是指单方面说话,而talk则是两者之间互相的、非正式的交谈。
例句:
1. Bill Gates is talking to him.
2. English people love to talk about the weather.
3. I’m not in the mood to talk to him.
5. I like talking to Helena.
TELL
释义:When someone communicates information,they TELL you something – a story,their feelings,etc.
简单地说,tell是告诉的意思,也就是把一些信息传递出去,让某个人接收到这个信息。另外,tell还有“辨识”的意思。
says的读音是[sez]。表达意思:说(第三人称单数)。词性:通常在句中作动词,修饰主语或宾语。固定搭配:say to oneself 心里想;how to say 怎么说;nothing to say 无话可说;say for oneself 为自己找借口,为自己。
例句:
1. Tell Jack to attend the meeting.
2. Tell Jack the meeting is canceled.
3. Mom,tell me a bedtime story.
4. Mary told a story to her son.
5. So,now can you tell the difference between SAY,SPEAK,TALK and TELL?
(所以,现在你可以分辨say、speak、talk和tell
之间的区别了吗)
