第六章 表示担忧的句型
1. I'm afraid... 恐怕……
◆ 疯狂讲解
“I’m afraid” 开始的句子比较委婉,让你要说的后面的话听起来没有那么强烈。
Kim’s Note:
This pattern makes you sound very concerned and sympathetic, even when you are not. That is why it can be useful in difficult situations that involve bad news.
这个句型会使你听起来很关心,很具有同情心,即使你并没有。这就是它为什么在一些牵涉到坏消息的情形中非常有用的原因。
◆ 最常用的三个句子
Top 1: I’m afraid I must be going now.
(恐怕我得走了。)
Top 2: I’m afraid you are too late, the plane has already left.
(恐怕你已经晚了,飞机已经飞走了。)
Top 3: I’m afraid I can’t agree with you.
(恐怕我不能同意你的看法。)
◆ 疯狂实战
A: I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do.
B: Are you sure? There must be something...
A: 恐怕我们无能为力了。
B: 你确信吗?肯定有什么办法吧……
Kim’s Note:
This is a classic movie dialogue. There is always a doctor telling some hysterical wife or mother that there is nothing they can do to save her husband or son.
这是个经典的电影对话,医生总是告诉一个歇斯底里的妻子或母亲说,他们没法挽救她的丈夫或儿子了。
