《五個I KNOW代替說法》
I get(got) you
這是一個非常口語的說法,通常用在朋友之間,所以工作或是正式場合不適用喔!
【例句】
: Amy, I cannot have dinner with you tomorrow.
: Oh no, why not? I was super looking forward to it.
: I am so sorry. I just got the call from my boss that I need to go on a business trip tomorrow.
: I get it. No worries! We’ll hang out when you come back.
:Amy我明天沒辦法跟你吃晚餐了。
:蛤!為什麼?我超級期待的耶!
:真的很抱歉,因為我老闆剛剛打給我,通知我明天要出差一趟。
:我知道了,沒關係,等你回來我們再聚聚喔!
I see where you're coming from
不同於前一個說法,這是一個偏向富有感情的表達方式,
像是表達同情而理解的狀況。
【例句】
: Brenda, why have you been late for class often these days?
: I just broke up with my ex, and I haven’t gone through it yet. That’s why I cannot sleep well recently.
: I see where you’re coming from, but you must try to get back on track. Why don’t you take a day-off today to clear your mind?
: I appreciate it. I will try my best.
:Brenda,你最近上班怎麼常常遲到呀?
:我剛剛分手,我還沒有走出來,所以最近睡不太好。
:我知道了,但你一定要是著回到正軌喔!還是你今天要休息一天,好好整理一下思緒呢?
:非常謝謝你!我會盡力的!
I hear you
講這句話的時候,可以表示你有在想像說話者敘說的情境或是事件,
除此之外,也可以表達自己有100%專心聆聽喔!
【例句】
: I cannot bear with my flatmate anymore! She never does the chores, and always makes noises at midnight.
: I hear you. It is terrible! How about having a talk with her directly?
: It is useless. I think I need to move out soon.
:我再也無法忍受我的室友啦!她從來不做家事,半夜還一直製造噪音。
:我懂我懂,真是太糟糕了!要不要試著跟她溝通看看?
:沒用的,我想我需要盡快搬家!
Of course
說of course時,是表示你完全同意說話者所講的事物,
是個常見的用法,也可以來加強同意的語氣。
【例句】
: I’ve been pretty stressed these days for my work and the pandemic. I need my holidays!
: Of course! Only 5 more days then you can enjoy your trip to Yilan.
: You’re right!
:最近因為工作和疫情,我壓力超大的!我需要放假好好放鬆一下啊!
:我知道,再五天你就可以去宜蘭好好玩啦!
:你說的沒錯!
I know what you mean
這句話通常表示同情、理解對方的處境,甚至是自己過去也有相同的經歷。
【例句】
: Hey, Linda, are you alright? You look so tired.
: Indeed. My daughter had a fever yesterday, so I was up all night to look after her.
: I know what you mean. Last time when my son got the flu, I was doing the same thing too! I hope your daughter will recover soon.
: Thank you!
:Linda你還好嗎?你看起來好累喔!
:我是真的很累,我女兒昨天發燒,我整晚沒睡都在照顧她。
:我懂,上次我兒子得到流感,我也是這樣做!希望妳女兒早日康復喔!
:謝謝你
