社会交往
1.感谢和应答(Thanks and responses)
感谢的表达法几乎用于一切场合,家人之间、陌生人之间、师生之间等,哪怕是一件小事情,甚至是理所当然的事,也得说声谢谢。感谢与应答常用以下句式:
①Thank you (very much)./Thanks a lot./Many thanks./Thanks for .../I really don't know how I can thank you enough./It's very kind of you to ...
②Not at all./It's/That's all right (OK)./You're welcome./I'm very glad you enjoyed it./It's a pleasure./My pleasure./Please don't mention it./It was nothing.
—I'm sorry I didn't finish it on time.
—Thanks anyway.(2011·四川高考)
——抱歉我没能准时完成。
——不管怎么样还是要谢谢你。
2.道歉、遗憾和应答(Apologies, regrets, sympathies & responses)
(1)道歉场合很多,用语也很多。有时候,在一些特殊情况下,我们也得考虑要求别人为某人或某事道歉。比如我们有时觉得朋友受到不公正待遇时,可以理直气壮地向对方说:“I'm sorry, but I have to say that you owe my friend an apology./Apologize to him for your rudeness.”
(2)无论是向别人道歉还是回答别人的道歉,一定要注意语言和表情的一致性,即神情一定要诚恳;另外,说道歉用语时,一律用降调。
道歉、遗憾和应答常用以下句式:
①Sorry./Pardon./I apologize./Forgive me (for ...).
②Excuse me (for ...)/be afraid that .../What a pity/shame!/It's a pity that ...
③That's all right./It doesn't matter./That's nothing./Don't worry about it./Never mind./Forget it.
—I'm sorry I didn't make it to your party last night.
—That's all right. I know you're busy these days.(2011·浙江高考)
——对不起,我昨晚没能参加你的晚会。
——没关系,我知道你这些天很忙。
3.请求允许和应答(Asking for permission and responses)
在此类交际项目的肯定表达中,“With pleasure”一定要与表示回答感谢的“It's a pleasure”或“My pleasure”区别开来。
(1)May I ...?/Can/Could I ...?/I wonder if I could .../Would/Do you mind if I opened/open the window?/May I ask a favor of you?
(2)①Yes/Sure/Certainly/By all means./Go ahead, please./That's OK/all right./Not at all./With pleasure.
②I'm sorry, you can't./I'm sorry, but ...
—Can I come and have a look at your new house?
—Yes, by all means!(2011·浙江高考)
——我能来看一下你的新房子吗?

Can I help you with that?
Would you like me to help you?
What can I do for you?
Let me take your bags.
(2)①Yes, please./Yes, thanks.

Thank you. That would be nice/fine.[来源:学§科§网]

1.同意和不同意(Agreement and disagreement)
熟悉中、英两种文化差异,掌握两个不同民族的交际习惯方式对做题很有帮助。

By all means./That's a good idea.
(2)表示不同意的常用表达

I'm afraid I (really) can't agree with you.
2.肯定和不肯定(Certainly and uncertainly)
表示肯定与不肯定的情景交际题目,有时答案设置的本身就前后矛盾,前后不一致,这种选项首先要排除掉。
(1)表示肯定的常用表达
I'm sure (of that).
There's no doubt (question) about it.
(2)表示不肯定的常用表达

It makes no difference./I don't care what you do.
