注意了！要避免这些Chinglish的英语口语表达

 学习外语，有时候难就难在，我们套用所学的语法规律写出来或者说出来的话，往往和所谓的“地道用语”天差地别。说实话，我们写出来的英文句子是符合语法规律的还好，如果是“极度直译”就会闹笑话了。下面是在网上搜集到的关于Chinglish（中式英语）的文章和资料，大家可以看看有哪些不恰当的英文表达是平时没有注意到的。

在各个英语学习论坛上，经常可以看到有关，但一般都是中国人写的。不过我看到过一篇长文，也是有关Chinglish的，但却是美国人写的，很有意思。这篇长文的标题是Chinglish2 English（从中式英语到标准英语），作者是浙江大学的美国外教Chuck Allanson，内容则是Chuck在中国五年任教期间所听到、所看到的各种 Chinglish 说法。

比如Chuck第一次来中国，下飞机后，负责接待他的东北某大学英语系陈老师说：您刚到，我们吃点饭吧。我们要点Chinese dumpling （饺子）和Chinese beancurd（豆腐），您看可以吗？Chuck以前从未听说过这两种东西，但出于好奇，就说可以，结果饭菜端上来一看，原来就是ravioli（饺子，来自意大利语）和tofu（豆腐，来自日语）。Chuck当时心里暗想，这两种东西，国际上早已经有通用的说法（ravioli和tofu），他们中国人为什么还要用那种生僻的说法呢？以后Chuck跟陈先生混熟了，就问他，当初你为什么不说ravioli和tofu 呢？陈先生听了大吃一惊，连忙解释说，我真的不知道这两个词，而且我们的《英汉词典》上也没有这两个词。于是Chuck开始意识到，中国的英语教师、英语课本、甚至英语词典肯定存在问题，否则不可能发生这种事情。在中国五年的任教期间，Chuck收集了大量的Chinglish说法，从中挑选出一组最常见的，编写了上面提到的那篇长文。

英文表达中不是用的词语越孤僻越高深，出现Chinglish的可能性就越小。其实很多时候，标准而地道的英文表达反而是由比较简单和基础的词汇组成的。下面是一些例子，大家可以参考看看。值得注意的是，我们说中国式表达，只是相较于地道表达而言，而不是绝对性的。

第一词：Try

1、这蛋糕真好吃，你尝点。

Chinglish：This cake is so delicious, please eat a little.

Revision: The cake is so delicious. Please try some.

2、这样不行，你再看看。

Chinglish: It won't do. Please see it again.

Revision: It won't do. Please try again.

3、我做过一两次，都失败了。

Chinglish: I did one or two times, but I failed.

Revision: I tried a couple of times, but I failed.

4、请您放心，我一定有多少力，出多少力。

Chinglish: Please put down your heart. I'll give all my strength out.

Revsion: Don't worry, I'll try my best.

第二词 Available

1、对不起，没座了。

Chinglish: Sorry, we have no seats now.

Revision: Sorry, no seats available.

2、网站暂时无法访问。

Chinglish: This website can't be visited temporarily.

Revision: Website Temporarily Unavailable.

第三词 Skills

作“技能、水平”讲。以前一想到“水平”一词，就会想到level一词，但是老外可不是这么想的。skills一词，更近。

先看几个句子：

1、怎样才能提高我们的英语水平？

Chinglish：How to improve our English level?

Revision ：How to improve our English skills?

2、他写作、翻译水平很高。

Chinglish：His writing and translating level are very high.

Revision：He has very good writing and translation skills.

第四词 Offer

1、谢谢你的好意，不过我可以走回去。

Chinglish：Thank you for your goodwill, but I can go home on foot.

Revision: Thanks for your offer, but I can walk home.

2、他给了一件工作给我。

version 1: He gave me a job to do.

Better version: He offered me a job.

Offer可以做动词用，也可以做名词用。还有一些固定搭配，其中Job offer非常红。

凡是带有“给予”、“善意提供的（帮忙）”等意思，就可以考虑offer这个词。我们可以把give一些空间让点给offer。

这个机会可是我最后给你的。答应不答应随你的便。This is my last offer to you. Take it or leave it.

第五词 Difference

1、这种化妆品你用用看，效果绝对不一样。

Chinglish: Please use this kind of cosmetics, the effect is absolutely different.

Revision: Please try this sort of cosmetics, i bet it'll make a big difference.

2、上帝啊，再给我一次机会，我不会再这样了。

Chinglish：God, please give me a chance again, I won't do this again.

Revision: God, please grant me another chance, and I'll make a difference.

第六词 point

pointless（没意义）一词也算它一伙的。先看几个例子：

1、你这样做是什么意思？

Chinglish: What is your meaning in doing this?

Revision: What's your point?

2、如果你抽烟的话，哪怕就别怕得癌症。再问“上帝怎么这样对我啊”没什么意义。

Chinglish: If you smoke, you should not be afraid to get lung cancer. It's meaningless to ask "why did God do this to me?"

Revision: If you smoke, you should be prepared to get lung cancer; it's pointless to ask "why did God do this to me?".

第七词 Access

1、我这里上不了网。

Chinglish: I can't go on internet here. （老外还以为是你有事、或这里不适合而不能上网）

Revision: I can't access the web/the internet here. （说明想上但是上不了）

2、天！今天我邮箱打不开了！

Chinglish: My god! I can't open my mail box today!

Revision: My god! I can't access my mail box today!

第八词 Sense

1、我很喜欢他。他很有幽默感。

Chinglish: I very like him. He is very humorous.

Revision: I like him very much. He has a good sense of humor.

2、我知道，不过有的地方没什么意义。

Chinglish: I know, but it's meaningless in some places.

Revision: I know, but again at some point it doesn't make any sense.

第九词： Afford

意思是买得起，付得起、花得起时间、金钱、精力等。但是Afford只能表示能力，不表示意愿。例如我们可以说I'm willing to pay, but I really can't afford it，而不能说I'm willing to afford it......

1、这顶帽子贵得也太离谱了，我买不起。

Chinglish: This hat is extremely expensive, I can't buy it.

Revision: This hat is so expensive that I can't afford it.

2、这个村子里好多儿童都上不起学。

Chinglish: Lots of kids can't go to school because they're poor. （意思表达出来了但是不精练）

Revision: Plenty of kids in this village can't afford to go to school (can't afford education).

3、抱歉，我跟你玩不起。

Chinglish: Sorry, I can't play with you.

Revision: I can't afford to play 'games' with you, sorry.

第十词 Deserve

这个词字面意思是“值得”、“该受到”，可褒可贬。用到的场合其实挺多的。

1、你是老鼠戏猫，真是自作自受！

Chinglish: You're like a rat teasing a cat... （下面不会了）

Revision: I think you're playing with fire. You deserve it!

2、那个好心女孩终于嫁给了她的心上人。她是有好报。

Chinglish: That good-hearted girl was married to the man in her heart at last. She was good so she had a good end.

Revision: That good-hearted girl married her 'prince' finally. She deserved it.

3、你竟敢这样对我？找打啊？

Chinglish: How dare you do this to me? Do you want me to beat you?

Revision: How dare you do this to me? You deserve a kick in the ass!

第十一词 Frustrated

表示心情沮丧、灰心丧气时，老外偏爱frustrated这一词。我们喜欢是sad, lose one's heart等表达法。

例句：

公司业绩总是不好，总经理真是心灰意懒。

Chinglish: The total manager is very sad because the achievement is not good.

Revision: The general manager is so frustrated for the poor performance of his company.

第十二词 Hurt

“受伤”或“疼痛”的意思。可能是生理上受伤，更表示心理上受伤。很红的一个词，失恋的人必备词汇。

例句：

1、对不起啊，我是无意伤害你的。

Chinglish: Sorry, I didn't want to harm you on purpose.

Revision: Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you.

2、别动我，我右手大拇指指疼。

Chinglish: Don't move me! My right thumb aches. (动某人的话也可以用 touch)

Revision: Leave me alone! My right thumb hurts.

第十三词 Offend

这个词表示“冒犯”、“得罪”，老外整天挂在嘴上。我们要跟进。一般用法是offend sb.被动是be/get offended.

例句：

1、你对她的穿着评头论足，她可能会不高兴。

Chinglish: You're commenting on her dress; she might be unhappy.

Revision: You're criticising her dress sense. She might be offended.

2、我什么时候得罪她了？她这人真怪！

Chinglish: When did I do bad to her? She is so strange! （不算太中式，但是想不到offend就是罪过）

Revision: Have I ever offended her? She's just being so weird!

第十四词 Update

表示更新后的信息，也可以做动词，进行更新。

例句：

1、新的在哪？

Chinglish: Where is the new one?

Revision: Where's the update?

2、这是最后一次的更新。

Chinglish: This is the newest change.

Revision: This is the latest update.

第十五词 Challenge

以前我们流行说“把压力变成动力”，而老外则流行说 “face the challenge”（面对挑战），思维方式不同是关键。

例句：

1、这个任务难做啊，但是不做不行呀。

Chinglish: This task is very difficult and I have to do it.

Revision: This task is very challenging.

2、甲：这次我们做主。 乙：我反对！

Chinglish: A--Let us decide it this time. B--I oppose that!

Revision: A--We're the boss this time. B--I challenge that! （challenge还有表示正式宣布反对的意思”）

第十六词： Fail

表示没办到，没做到，失信，或该做什么没做。这个词用好了，也不简单了。不过这个词特别好用。我们只需要加学一个fail to句型。

例句：

1、他昨天在演讲中没有提到过我们。

Version 1: He didn't mention us in his speech yesterday.

Better version: He failed to mention us in his speech yesterday.

2、如果应用程序启动不了，也别慌张。

Chinglish: If the program can't be started, please don't be afraid.

Revision: If the application fails to load, just relax.

第十七词 Contribute

名词形式是contribution. 意思有“捐献”、“投稿”等意思。凡是有贡献，都可以叫contribution。contribute这个动词一般与to 连用。

例句：

1、这事他也出了不少力。

Chinglish: He also supplied his strength to this.

Revision: He also contributed a lot to this.

2、你只知道批评别人，你自己做了多少事？

Chinglish: You only know how to criticise others, but how much thing have you done yourself?

Revision: You're a critic! Where's your contribution?

第十八词 Leave

这里不讨论它的“离开”含义。那个确实很简单。要讨论的是“放任”、“不干涉”以及“造成。。。的后果”等意思。弄清下列例句就可以学好leave 这个词。

例句：

1、别管我/别打扰我！

Leave me alone! （超级经典）

2、门别关。

Chinglish: Don't close the door.

Revision: Leave the door open.

3、维持原状。

Chinglish: Maintain its original form. (好费劲啊)

Revision: Just leave it as it is.

4、昨天晚上在郊区发生爆炸案导致1人死亡，11人受伤。

The bombing took place in the suburb last night, leaving one dead and eleven injured. （VOA新闻广播超级经典句）

第十九词 Practice

这个词大家都认识，但是它有个“习惯”、“惯例”的意思，用起来让人觉得挺正宗的。如Social Practice（某个社会中的常见做法）、Common Practice （司空见惯的事）。

例句：

那个在封建社会可是个常见的现象。

Chinglish: It's was a familiar phenomenon in the feudatorial society.

Revision: It was common practice during the period of Feudal rule.

Revision: The headmaster entered the classroom, followed by 2 policemen.
