6.责备与抱怨
前面所提到的西方人说话直率在此类对话中更为明显。对于别人的打扰,自己受到不公平待遇会说出来,而不是不留面子。这里有分寸问题,通过说话人的口气与语调可判断其情绪与态度。英语中责备与抱怨的话通常有:
What on earth is the matter here?
Im afraid I have a complaint to make about the service.
You ought to be ashamed of what youve done on me.
Why on earth did you say such a silly thing to me?
Youve no right to help yourself.
Im not a bit satisfied with such a result.
You ought to be careful enough next time.
I got very annoyed about it.
Cant you be serious for once?
Dont interfere in my business, please.
Its no nice of you to behave like that.
一般对责备与抱怨,人们通常的反应是表示抱歉与愿意接受。
请分析下面的对话:
A: You dont have to play the radio so loud, do you?
B: Oh,Im really sorry about it
Q: What happened to the second man?
