"I think so"最好別翻譯成“我也這麼想”,為什麼呢?

I think so不能表示認同!因為維基詞典對“I think so”這樣解釋:I believe that is the case, but am not certain.

相當於我們常說的:“maybe”,maybe是一種毫無把握,不清楚的含糊回答。所以你如果說I think so,外國朋友會心想:Is that a yes or no? 到底是認同還是不認同?

例如:

Boss:Did you do your work?

你工作做完了嗎?

You:I think so.

我想是吧。

(PS:這樣回答,老闆會瘋的,你到底做沒做完!)

表示認同,可以這樣說

I thought the same thing.

嗯,我同意

That's what I was thinking too.

我也是這麼想的

That makes two of us.

我們想的一樣

接下來給大家介紹如何靈活多變地表達自己的觀點,不用再一味的說 I think

01、As far as I am concerned

對我而言,從我的角度來說

例句:

As far as I am concerned, life is short, and we must achieve something during our life.

就我而言,生命是短暫的,我們必須在我們的有生之時實現某樣東西。

As far as I am concerned, the matter is closed.

對我來說,事情已了結。

02、From my point of view/perspective

依我看,以我的觀點看

例句:

From my point of view, social development brings lots of pollution.

依我看,社會的發展帶來了很多汙染。

From my perspective, those are his weaknesses.

作為我個人的觀點,這些就是他的弱點。

03、From where I stand

從我的立場看

例句:

From where I stand, what he said is reasonable.

依我看,他說的話是有道理的。

From where I stand, it's a quite controversial problem.

從我的立場看,這是個頗有爭議的問題。

04、It seems to me that...

我覺得……

例句:

After mature reflection it seems to me that this could not have been effected through natural selection.

經過審慎考慮之後,我認為這種結果似乎不是通過自然選擇得來的。

It seems to me amount to the same thing.

在我看來,根本就是一回事。



05、I take the view that...

我所持的看法是……

例句:

至於我,我……

10、Personally speaking

就我個人而言

例句:

Personally speaking, searching and enriching the experience of life is the real meaning of travel.

對我來說,旅行的意義是尋找和豐富生命的體驗。

此外,在表達某個觀點或者立場時,也可以直接去掉「我認為」這一意思而直接描述現象和觀點,這時表達方式就會靈活很多。

01、It is an inescapable fact that...

(什麼)是一個無法迴避的事實

例句:
