你還記得看電影「美國隊長3-英雄內戰」,兩大超級英雄聯盟對戰時血脈賁張的感覺嗎?除了兩隊人馬各顯神威,拳拳到肉的精采打鬥場面以外,鋼鐵人和美國隊長這兩派陣營,到底是為了什麼樣的原因而反目成仇呢?
具有異於常人天賦的超級英雄們,到底是該凌駕於法律之上,擁有是非道德的自由意志,還是該受到國家以及法律的約束,不得恣意妄為呢?
每個人都有自己的立場以及想法,如果你也是漫威的超級英雄迷,有沒有想過,自己會站在哪一邊、為哪一種信念而戰呢?那麼在這場東尼跟史蒂芬劍拔弩張的辯論裡,你又會怎麼表達自己的想法呢?
首先,你需要擁有的第一要件並不是蜘蛛人的戰鬥裝,也不是緋紅女巫的超能力,更不是黑寡婦那靈巧過人的格鬥技巧,而是「語言的力量」!你知道英文有那些普遍常用的句子,可以明確地讓你的聽眾了解你的想法,或是清清楚楚地知道你是持贊成,還是反對的立場嗎?一起來看看吧!
1. 用英文中立地表達你的意見
Sometimes there is no absolute right or wrong, but thoughts and ideas are always welcome.
As for me,「你的想法」.
至於我呢,…..
I would say that 「你的想法」.
我是會這麼說的…..
I believe / think / feel / find / suppose that 「你的想法」.
我相信/想/覺得/發現/認為…..
I'm sure / convinced that 「你的想法」.
我非常確定…..
In my opinion,「你的想法」.
在我的觀念裡,…..
As far as I'm concerned,「你的想法」.
截至目前我認為…..
It seems to me that「你的想法」.
對我來說,…..
Example:
Steve: I don't think the new company policy is fair for everybody. How could they just set up a rule like that?
Arthur: I'm sure that there must be a reason behind it. I would say we can wait and see if the policy works and decide whether we have to step out and say something.
Steve: Well, I guess you're right.
2.用英文表達你贊成的立場
What you just said is totally what I am thinking right now!
Exactly.
完全正確。
That's true.
那是真的。
You're absolutely right.
你說得太對了!
I think so too. / I don't think so either.
我也是這麼認為。/ 我也不這麼認為。
I agree with you. / I agree with you that「你的想法」.
我同意你說的…..
I hold the same opinion.
我的意見跟你一樣。
I'd go along with that.
我贊成…..
I couldn't agree more.
我非常同意!
I have come to the same conclusion.
我的結論跟你一樣。
Example:
Ellen: How about we work in groups of four? There are too many of us!
Tina: I'd go along with that. We can work on different tasks at the same time. It'd be more efficient than spending all the time and efforts on one matter together.
Nathan: I can't agree more. Let's do it!
3.用英文表達你反對的立場
Well, you can have your own opinions, and I can have mine!
I don't think so.
我不這麼認為。
I'm not so sure about that.
我不確定耶!
However,「你的想法」.
但是…..
I disagree.
我不同意。
That's not entirely true.
那不完全是真的。
That's different.
那是不一樣的!
I think otherwise.
我跟你想的剛好相反。
I take a different view.
我的看法跟你不同。
I don't share your view.
我的看法跟你不一樣。
Example:
Bruce: It seems to me that camping under such bad weather is not a very wise move. It's too dangerous. Lily: I don't think so. Yes, it is a bit windy and rainy, but I'm sure it'll get better in the afternoon. We can go after the rain stops. I don't want to waste the whole weekend lying on the sofa!
Mark: I'm not so sure about that, Lily. I suppose Bruce is right. We shouldn't risk our lives just because we want to have some fun. It seems a bit irresponsible.
Lily: Oh well….I feel bad now. I guess I didn't think it through. I'm sure we can find something interesting to do at home then.
