如何巧学善用英语成语(2)
9. 现在几点钟了?
What time is it now?
What time is it, please?
Note：What time is it now这是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子，讲英语的时候没有必要说now,因为您不可能问what time was it yesterday, 或者what time is it tommorow?所以符合英语习惯的说法是：请问现在几点了?还有一种说法是：How are we doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适
10. 我的英语很糟糕。
My English is poor.
I am not 100% fluent3, but at least I am improving.
Note：有人开玩笑说，全中国人最擅长的一句英文是：My English is poor.实话说，我从来没有遇到一个美国人对我说：My Chinese is poor. 无论他们的汉语是好是坏，他们会说: I am still having a few problem, but I getting better. 当您告诉外国人，您的英语很poor，so what(那又怎么样呢)，是要让别人当场施舍给我们一些英语呢，还是说我的英语不好，咱们不谈了吧。另外一个更大的弊端是，一边不停的学英语，一边不停地说自己的英语很poor,这正像有个人一边给车胎充气，又一边在车胎上扎孔放气。我坚信，先不谈别的，如果您现在就苦下功夫，把这本薄薄的《英语54321》吃通吃透，您的英语水平立即就会迅速的提高。所以您再也不用说：我的英语很poor. 您可以实事求事地说，我的英语还不算十分流利，但至少我在进步。
11. 你愿意参加我们的晚会吗?
Would you like to join our party on Friday?
Would you like to come to our party on Friday night?
Note：join往往是指参加俱乐部或者协会，如：join a health club; join the Communist4 Party.事实上，常常与party搭配的动词的come 或者go。如go a wild party，或者come to a Christmas Party。
12. 我没有经验。I have no experience.
I don’t know much about that.
Note：I have no experience这句话听起来古里古怪，因为您只需要说：那方面我懂得不多，或者这方面我不在行，就行了。I am not really an expert5 in this area.
13. 我没有男朋友。
I have no boyfriend6.
I don’t have a boyfriend.
14. 他的身体很健康。
His body is healthy.
He is in good health. You can also say: He’s healthy.
15. 价钱很昂贵/便宜。
The price is too expensive/cheap.
The price is too high/ rather low. .
16. 我们下了车。
We got off the car.
We got out of the car.
