充分利用材料的技巧：
先看中文，看能否比較快就口譯為英文，再與后面的英文比較，看自己的中文式英語表現在哪些方面。
一、委婉抱怨
不知你是否能夠幫助我一下
很抱歉，打擾了，我想……
有點事情想請你幫個忙
真不好意思，只是
I wonder if you could help me
Look, I’m sorry to bother you, but
There’s something you could help me with
I hate to have to say this, but
二、如何勸解別人的生氣
放心吧
你難得不覺得你自己是不是反應過度了一點嗎？（太敏感了嗎）
沒什么值得心煩的
你一說，我還真不好意思（難為情了）
Take it easy!
Don’t you think you’re overacting a bit?
There is no reason to get upset.
I am sorry to hear that.
三、提出建議和忠告
不知您有沒有考慮過……
我想那是一個不錯的注意
你想到過沒有
你總是……
我要是你，就……
你最好
I was wondering if you’d ever thought of
I think it might be a good idea.
Have you ever thought of
Don’t you think it might be a good idea to
You could always……
If I were you I’d……
Why don’t you……
You’d better……
四、了解別人經歷
Didn’t you once……
Did you ever……
Tell me about the time you……
I hear you once……
You’ve…, haven’t you?
幫助別人回憶
后來呢
你為什么不
哪之前你
那時候你感覺如何
What happened next?
Why didn’t you…？
Did you… before that?
How do you feel when…？
Where were you doing while……?
Then what did you do?
Did you think of…？
五、回顧時引導別人的想象
要是……你會干了些什么
要是……情況會怎么樣
如果……你會有什么樣的感覺？
What would you have done if
What would have happened if
How would you felt if
六、這樣回應引導
我不知道，我猜我會
很難說，但是我想我會
當然啦，我……
Oh, I don’t know, I guess I would have……
Hard to say, but I think I would have……
Well, of course, I could have……
七、老實道歉
噢，實在對不起
歉意之深，實在是無以言表(我無法告訴你我是多么的內疚)
我真不知該怎樣說才好
萬分抱歉
Oh, I’m awfully sorry……
I can’t tell you how sorry I am……
I just don’t know what to say……
I’m extremely sorry。
八、我錯了
我為……而道歉
恐怕我得說
真不知該怎樣說，……
要解釋清楚并不容易
I’ve got to apologize for
I’m afraid I have something to say
I’m not exactly sure how to put this, but
Um, this isn’t easy to explain
九、沒關系，我原諒你
沒關系，不要在意
算了
不是你的錯
啊呀，不要放在心上，真的沒什么
千萬別自怨自艾了（別再自責了）
Oh, that’s right; don’t worry about it
Forget it
It’ not your fault
Oh, never mind never mind. It really doesn’t matter.
Please don’t blame yourself。
