下次说英语的时候争取用上：

Quite a few English words or expressions, which British people use most

frequently in their daily life, can never ever be learnt or known exactly from our

textbooks. Not until one day we are in Britain. Here are some best ones:

Are you all right?-------

你好吗？

This is the most commonly used greeting when people meet each other rather

than how are you? from our textbook.

eg. ------Are you all right, David?

------Fine, thank you.

Cheers!------

谢谢

,

再见！

While they get off the bus or buy things from shops etc, very often we can hear

them saying Cheers! to the drivers or sellers instead of Thank You or Goodbye.

eg. ---------Five pounds fifty, please. Cheers!

---------Cheers!

Give me a minute!------

请稍等一会！

eg. Give me a minute, David! I will find the map for you.

Does it make sense?-----

你明白我的意思吗？

eg. If you buy a day ticket, you will save more. Does it make sense?

I don’t follow you.

-------

我不明白你说什麽

eg. Sorry, I don’t follow, you. Could you say it again?

Are you kidding(joking)

？

-----

你在开玩笑吧？

eg. ------Are you kidding,David?

-------I am not going to kid you, I am being serious!

I am behind you. ---------

我支持你

eg Whatever decision you are going to make, I am behind you.

Do you really mean it?----------

此话当真？

eg. ------- I can give what you want.

-------Do you really mean it?

-------Yes, I mean it!

That depends.--------

那得看情况而定

eg. ---------Will you come here on that day?

----------That depends.

Feel free to do it-------

请随意

……

eg. If you have any problem, please feel free to ask me.

What’s going on?

--------

怎麽了？

eg. -------

What’s going on here?

-------He got his watch broken, I am helping fix it.

get on with it!--------

快点！

eg. Get on with it, we have no time left!

Get a move on!---------

赶快行动吧

!

eg. Get a move on and help yourself to some food!

Believe it or not!-------

信不信由你！

说到这

……
