在口頭表達時,免不了會出現口誤。這時,及時地加以解釋和修正將有助于保證交際效果。例如:What I have seen is most impressive. However, theprinciples can not be called perfect yet—I mean the principles in some of theless important sides.該句通過“I mean”縮小了否定的范圍。
●I mean…
●That is to say…
●In other words,…
●Well, I was saying…
●To be more exact/accurate,…
●I’ll put it (in) this way…
●As you know,…
●It goes without saying…
●You know…
●Well, let me see,…
3、沒聽清問題
沒聽清問題時可以請求重復,例如:
●Excuse me. I can’t quite follow you. Would youplease say it again?
●Excuse me, could you please repeat what you havejust said?
●Would you mind repeating your question?
●I beg your pardon?
同學們可以事先閱讀一些相關文章,積累一些專業上的詞匯。當然提問的問題不可能難度太高,比如經管專業,老師可能就會問What is business management?In your opinion, what is the mostimportant element in business management這樣的一些簡單問題。
