托福口语容易说错的英语举例:
1. 我没有经验。
I have no experience.
应说:I don’t know much about that.
Note:I have no experience这句话听起来古里古怪,因为您只需要说:那方面我懂得不多,或者这方面我不在行,就行了。I am not really an expert in this area.
2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。
The price is very suitable for me.
应说:The price is right.
Note:suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上,如:下列节目儿童不宜。The following programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。
3. 你是做什么工作的呢?
What’s your job?
应说::Are you working at the moment?
Note:what’s your job这种说法难道也有毛病吗?是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业,are you working at the moment?接下来您才问:目前您在哪儿工作呢?Where are you working these days?或者您从事哪个行业呢?What line of work are you in?顺带说一下,回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点,不要只是说经理或者秘书
4. 用英语怎么说?
How to say?
应说:How do you say this in English?
Note:How to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一,这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有:请问这个词如何拼写?How do you spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word?
5. 明天我有事情要做。
I have something to do tomorrow?
应说:Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
以上就是托福口语中一些易错表达的正确说法,希望大家能够有所了解。
