Talking about other people
约 5 分钟 A1
📌 先看这里:这一课讲什么
  • Yuna 和 Noelia 一边聊近况一边聊起共同认识的同事 Anya,从工作进度聊到对方的性格评价,是办公室最常见的闲聊话题之一。
  • 场景是跟朋友/同事聊起第三个人时会用到的说法,重点是怎么描述别人的性格、能力。
  • 句型集中在用形容词描述人(lovely、excellent businessperson),加上确认对方是否认识某人的问法。
  • 学完能自然地跟人聊起"某某人怎么样",不再只会用 good/nice 两个字带过。

常用句型

句型用法例子
Do you work with...?问对方是不是跟某个团队/人一起工作Yuna:Do you work with the digital team?
Do you know...(名字)?问对方是否认识某个人Yuna:Do you know Anya Patel?
Yes, I do.简短肯定回答"是的,我认识/我有"Noelia:Yes, I do.
..., isn't she?句尾附加问句,说出自己的看法后跟对方确认Yuna:She's lovely, isn't she?
She's very good at her job.描述某人工作能力强Yuna:She's very good at her job.
She's an excellent businessperson.用形容词加职业名词具体形容一个人Yuna:She's an excellent businessperson.

发音 / 语调提示

  • "isn't she?" 这类附加问句(question tag)如果只是确认自己已经知道的事,通常用下降语调;这里 Yuna 是真心带一点期待对方同意,语调可以略微上扬,别读成完全的平陈述。
  • excellent 重音在第一个音节 EX-cellent,容易被读成重音在中间,读错会让对方一下子没听懂。
  • "Really?" 单独一个词表示惊讶/追问时,语调要明显上扬拉长,平淡地说出来会让人以为你没在认真听。
