“Say”在英语中是十分常用的单词,我们几乎每天都离不开它,但它与汉语中“说”的意思不完全一致,在许多情况下有其习惯的用法。例如这一段对话:
-The new hat looks so funny!
-I'll say!
大家一定会觉得如果照字面意思去理解,这句话就说不通了。实际上,“I'll say!”表示同意对方的话,可以表示赞同对方的话的表达方式还有不少,例如“You said it.”或“You can say that again.”,当然这与“叫对方再说一遍”“Say”的含义是很丰富的,不仅仅表示一般的“说”。“say one’s prayer”是“祈祷”;“say one's lesson”是“背课文”;“What does the slogan say?”的意思为“标语是怎么说的?”;“My watch says five o'clock.”指“我的表是五点钟。”;“What do you say to a cup of coffee?”则询问“来杯咖啡如何?”;而“I can’t say.”则常常表示“我不知道。/不好说。”“say much for……”的意思是“认为什么非常好”,例如“I can’t say much for his argument.”
