[考点1]怎样用英语表达自己的同意或不同意的观点
(2004福建)
-- Go for a picnic this weekend, OK?
-- ____. I love getting close to nature.
A. I couldn't agree more
B. I'm alraid not
C. I believe not
D. I don't think so
[答案与解析]A 这道题考查的是对别人的邀请的回
答。根据上文可知,对方是邀请周末去野餐,而回答的
第2句话是说“我喜欢接近大自然”,所以可以推测,答
话人是同意去的。A项表示“很赞成”,B项表示“不愿
意去”,C项表示“不相信”,D项表示“不去”。故只有A
项正确。
[归纳]常见的表达有:
① I'm afraid I can't agree with you.
② That's true / right.
③ I (don't) think so / that's right.
④ No problem.
⑤ I'm not sure about that...
⑥ I believe that you've got it right.
⑦ Surely it might be
⑧ No, you are wrong thinking that... 例如:
Surely it might be possble to learn it from maps. 当然
可以从地图中学习。
I think you are wrong thinking that it wilI tike anyone a
short time to learn English, but a long time to learn
Chinese. 学英语花的时间短,学汉语花的时间长,我觉
得你这样想是错误的。
[考点2]如何用英语征求对方的意见
(2004 湖北)
-- Will $200 ____?
-- I'm afraid not. We need at least 50 more dollars.
A. count B. satisfy
C. fit D. do
[答案与解析]D 通过分析可以看出,这道试题考查的
能力可以具体归纳为三个方面:特定语境中理解运用
语法知识的能力;特定语境中理解运用词汇知识的能
力;特定语境中理解运用日常交际用语的能力,由此可
以看出试题考查的趋势是:考查点由强调语法结构向
灵活的语言运用转移、词义理解设问更加灵活多变。
sth will do 是一种比较固定的说法,在口语表达中比较
常见,意思为“……够了,……行了”。故只有D项正
确。
[归纳]在英语中用来表达征求对方意见的方式还有:
① Is it OK?
② Is that right?
③ Will it do?
④ What / How about...? 例如:
-- Are two chairs 0K? 两把椅子行了吗?
-- No, not enough. We still need another five. 不,不
够,我们还要五把。
[考点3]如何用英语应答对方的请求
-- I am going shopping. Do you think I could borrow
your bike? -- ____.
A. Yes, you could
B. No, you may borrow
C. No, go on
D. Yes, go ahead
[答案与解析]D 此题主要考查交际语言中的逻辑推
理和语言习惯。句中的情态动词“could”是请求对方帮
忙或同意自己做某事时婉转用语,而答语中没有必要
再用婉转的词语,因此选项A被排除。选项B和C语
言逻辑不对,选项D中的 go ahead 也可改成help
yourself,也可以直接用“Yes, you can”回答。故此题
只有选项D正确。
[归纳]常见的表达应答对方请求的方式还有:
① Certainly / Sure / Surely / Of course.
② Go ahead, please.
③ You'd better not.
④ Do as you please like. 例如:
-- Can I take a look at your copy of China Daily? 我可以
看看你的《中国日报》吗?
-- Sure, go ahead, please. 当然可以,请。
