口语｜英式“客套”你真明白吗
“Let’s agree to disagree.”让我们求同存异吧。
You’re wrong but I’m tired.
你错了，但我懒得跟你争了。
讨论计划时英国人说一句：
“What could go wrong?”还能出啥岔子呢？
I’m expecting nothing but disaster.这事恐怕会一团糟。
Yeah, I remember you saying.是啊，我记得你说过。
This is the millionth time you’ve said it. 这事你已经说过上万遍了。
也有人觉得“全球通用”。
如果没有看够，双语君再为大家整理一些常见英式英语中的客套话，欢迎观看英国人民内心戏之“嘴上说vs心里却”系列。
