澳洲书面英语总是给人感觉硬邦邦的,怎么破。

在澳大利亚英语学习




让人觉得我很serious、很不好相处的人的感觉。从小为了应试,过分注重语法、时态,而忽略了整体的语气,现在在国外吃苦头了

这个东西只能慢慢磨合
开始比较正式,礼多人不怪
当然也要看对方的身份和关系

lz能举几个例子让大家分析分析吗?

多用could, should, would。。。

Let's say, English language can be loosely divided into two categories:
  • written / writing / formal;
  • spoken / colloquial / informal

The former do require to follow grammar rules. So knowing grammar from your schooling will come in handy when time comes.

One of the problems with the traditional way of teaching a foreign language in the Chinese classroom is the lack of awareness in differences between formal writing and colloquial English. You can be content because you are fully aware of this.

How do we learn to speak English naturally? Here are some of the tips that might help:
  • jot down (on mobiles, notepads, anything convenient) what you hear from the locals at workplace and social occasions
  • learn common colloquial expressions from listening to local talkshow radios
  • break down long sentences to short and keep it simple when you talk to someone
  • say 'everyday words' instead of 'big words' e.g. say 'bear it in mind' in stead of 'remember' , say 'take off' in stead of 'depart from '

The better approach to speaking naturally is to learn everyday common expressions,  and we have to learn these expressions particularly piece by piece, time consuming really!

If word-for-word translation worked right all the time, life would be a lot easier for us.

正确的感觉不应该是硬梆梆的,而应该是感觉很严谨

苹果客服这封信写的很好啊,我觉得不算诚惶诚恐,是不卑不亢。这就是书写英文该有的感觉,尤其是在商谈上面,这样既平衡了对方心理,又表达了自己的观点。

是不是口语不接近当地的表达?书面英语应该还是要讲究的

评论
给人硬邦邦的感觉是,
首先用词不够准确
其次是语气。语气表达的含义比词汇更丰富。

克服这2个问题,一切都不是问题了。

评论
多听广播
看电视新闻
慢慢体会当地人的讲话语气,语调和表情

评论
我觉得多和同事发短信或者FB聊天什么的,聊多了会有提高(我的写作就是这么练的:P)。很多人存在的问题是写论文的时候太口语化,你倒是相反。。
