[析] I'm too busy? 與 I'd like to? 在意義上正好相反。所以要用轉(zhuǎn)折連詞。這里考查了對(duì)詞義合乎邏輯的表達(dá)能力。所以要強(qiáng)調(diào)語(yǔ)言環(huán)境,更要強(qiáng)調(diào)在語(yǔ)言的基礎(chǔ)上的詞語(yǔ)辨析。
[誤] - Where's Deter?
- Deter will come with us tonight but he isn't very sure yet?
[正] - Where's Deter?
- Deter may come with us tonight but he isn't very sure yet?
[析] 由于 but 所引出的句子可以看出 Deter 的來(lái)與不來(lái)是十分不確定的,所以應(yīng)用 may 來(lái)表達(dá)一個(gè)不肯定的事件。
[誤] - Hi, haven't seen you for ages! You look fine!
- Great? You look well too?
[正] - Hi, haven't seen you for ages! You look fine!
- Thanks? You look well too?
[析] 要注意的是 Great 在口語(yǔ)中多表示驚嘆,而 Thanks 則表示感謝對(duì)方的稱贊!∷詫(duì)情景談話要有準(zhǔn)確的判定,要根據(jù)情景,身臨其境,上下對(duì)照,周密思考,弄清場(chǎng)合,注意英美人的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣,注重語(yǔ)義上的詞語(yǔ) 辨析,并要進(jìn)行大量的語(yǔ)言實(shí)踐練習(xí),擴(kuò)大實(shí)際交際能力。
(三) 例題解析
1? - Would you like to have some rice?
- _________ .

2? - Nice to see you?
- _________ .
A? Good morning B? Happy to meet you, too

3? - Would you please give me some water?
- _________ .
A? Yes, I would B? Certainly C? No, thanks D? Yes, please
[答案] B.
[析] 當(dāng)對(duì)方發(fā)出十分禮貌的請(qǐng)求幫助的問(wèn)語(yǔ)時(shí),一般的回答是肯定的。而Yes, please? 為"是的,您請(qǐng)做某事吧"。這一含意顯然不對(duì)。

A? Yes, I could B? No, thanks
C? O?K? D? Yes, but I have no time
[答案] C.
[析] 要注意 could 用于口語(yǔ)中是為了講話的口氣委婉,但它不是過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài),也不是助動(dòng)詞,而應(yīng)看作情態(tài)動(dòng)詞。所以在答語(yǔ)中則不應(yīng)這樣用。

- _________
A? No, thanks. B? With pleasure.
