英语聊天中要回避的雷区
在与他人闲聊时，我们常常会评论他人的外表，可有时说出的话却违背我们的初衷，造成不必要的误会，那可真叫哑巴吃黄连，有苦说不出啊。接下来，小编给大家准备了英语聊天中要回避的雷区,欢迎大家参考与借鉴。
英语聊天中要回避的雷区
Don't say: "You look tired."
Why: It implies she doesn't look good。
Instead say: "Is everything OK?" We often blurt the"tired" comment when we get the sense that the other person feels out of sorts. So just ask.
不要说"You look tired."(你看上去很累。)
这句话暗示了她看上去状况不佳。
我们可以说"Is everything OK?"(你一切还好吗?)我们会脱口而出"tired"这个词是因为感觉到对方有些消沉，所以直接问原因吧。
Don't say: "Wow, you've lost a ton of weight!"
Why: To a newly trim person, it might give the impression that she used to look unattractive。一个让你脸红的微信：vipwyqh，脸红也得加额!
Instead say: "You look fantastic." And leave it at that.If you're curious about how she got so svelte, add, "What's your secret?"
不要说"Wow, you've lost a ton of weight!"(哇塞，你减掉了N多斤啊!)
对一个刚恢复苗条的人来说，这句话给她的感觉是自己从前看上去很糟糕。想学习更多英语知识，请关注口袋英语aikoudaiyy
我们可以说"You look fantastic."(你看上去真棒。)，并且就此打住。如果你想知道她是如何变苗条的，那就加上一句"What's your secret?"(有啥秘诀呀?)
Don't say: "You look good for your age."
Why: Anything with a caveat like this is rude. It's saying,"You look great―compared with other old people. It's amazing you have all your own teeth."
Instead say: "You look great."
不要说"You look good for your age."(以你的年纪来说，你看上不错啊。)
任何像这样带有告诫意味的话语都是粗鲁的。这就是在说：“跟其他老家伙比起来，你看上去不错。你那口牙竟然一颗没掉，太令人惊讶了。”
我们应该直接说"You look great."(你看上去很棒。)
Don't say: "I could never wear that."
Why: It can be misunderstood as a criticism. ("I could never wear that because it's so ugly.")
Instead say: "You look so good in skinny jeans." If you slip, say something like "I could never wear that...because I wasn't blessed with your long legs."
不要说"I could never wear that."(我可不会穿那样的衣服。)
这话可以被误解为批评：“那衣服太丑了，我才不要穿。”
我们应该说"You look so good in skinny jeans."(你穿紧身牛仔裤很漂亮。)假如你不小心说漏了嘴，那就这么圆回来"I could never wear that...because I wasn't blessed with your long legs."(我是穿不了那裤子……因为我没你那样修长的腿哎。)
扩展：when，where，why引导的定语从句
when，where，why作为定语从句的引导词，总称为关系副词。下面用句子合并的方法分析它们的使用。
一、where引导的定语从句
请分析下面两个简单句：
句①I know a garden.
句②You can find wild strawberries there.
把句②变为句①的定语从句，句①中的agarden做定语从句的先行词。在句②中there指句①中提到的agarden也就是定语从句的先行词，there在句中做地点状语，因此要用where引导定语从句，代替句②中的there，也就是说there就不能出现在定语从句中了。由此得到句③I know a garden where you can find wild strawberries.
句②还可以写作句④You can find wild strawberries in it(it指句①中的garden，“在花园中”要使用介词短语in the garden)。把句④变为句①的定语从句，因为it做介词in的宾语，先行词是agarden，指物。在这种定语从句中介词常常提到定语从句的开始，这时关系代词只能使用which替代it，it就不能在定语从句中出现了。由此得到句⑤即：I know a garden in which you can find wild strawberries.
请把下面每组的两句话合并为一句，把第二句话变为第一句的定语从句。
第一组：
This is the village.
I was born there.
→This is the village where I was born.
第二组：
The lab is not far from here.
The chemist often does experiments there.
→The lab where the chemist often does experiments is not far from here.
二、when引导的定语从句
请分析下面两个简单句：
句①We shall remember the days.
句②We studied together then.
把句②变为句①的定语从句，句①中的the days做定语从句的先行词。在句②中then指句①中提到的the days，也就是定语从句的先行词，then在句中做时间状语，因此要用when引导定语从句，代替句②中的then，也就是说then就不能出现在定语从句中了。由此得到句③We shall remember the days when we studied together.
句②还可以写作句④We studied together during the days.(介词短语during the days含义为“在这些日子里”)。把句④变为句①的定语从句，因为the days做介词during的宾语，先行词是the days，指物，在定语从句中介词during提前，用关系代词which替代the days，the days就不能在定语从句中出现了。由此得到句⑤We shall remember the days during which we studies together.
请把下面每组的两句话合并为一句，把第二句话变为第一句的定语从句。
第一组：
I've always longed for the days.
I should be able to be independent then.
→I've always longed for the days when I should be able to be independent.
第二组：
There are moments.
I forget all about it then.
→There are moments when I forget all about it.
三、why引导的定语从句
请分析下面两个简单句：
句①He wanted to know the reason.
句②I was late for the reason.
把句②变为句①的定语从句，句①中的the reasons做定语从句的先行词。因为the reason做介词for的宾语，先行词是the reason指物，在定语从句中介词for提前，用关系代词which替代the reason，the reason就不能在定语从句中出现了。由此得到句③He wanted to know the reason for which I was late.
注意：在定语从句中当先行词为the reason(s)，定语从句由for which引导时，可以用why代替for which。由此我们得到句⑤He wanted to know the reason why I was late.
请把下面两句话合并为一句，把第二句话变为第一句的定语从句。
The reason is not very convincing1.
He came for the reason.
→The reason why he came is not very convincing.
The reason for which he came is not very convincing.
