英语口语:饭菜“很难吃”的英语怎么说
说到英语表达能力,我们希望你不要仅仅孤立的“依赖”中文“很难吃”记住英语“很难吃”的对应表达。拓展你的思路,你会记住“很多”,也通过记住“很多”帮你记住“很难吃”的英语。
说到食物的“味道,口味”(taste, flavor),我们有一对“反义词”表达。
记住它们,就能记住英语“很难吃”:
1) 表达食物“好吃”,大家可能都会说:
1. delicious:The food is delicious. Mom cooks very delicious food.
2. yummy:yummy means delicious. Yummy food is delicious food.
3. tasty:Tasty food is delicious food, yumny food. And they are great food.
那么,不delicious food就是“难吃food”了。
2) 有了上面基本会说的“垫底”,表达食物“难吃,不好吃”的英语如下:
1. poor: Daddy cooks very poor food.
2. tasteless:Daddy cooks tasteless food.
3. distasteful:Distasteful food is food that is unpleasant to your taste.
4. little flavor:Tasteless food has very little flavour.
5. yucky food.
Yummy好吃。Yucky难吃!
从英语口语训练角度看,上面的“反义”英语都可以作为“互为解释”的英语训练来实现“英语理解英语”。比如:
When we say: Daddy cooks very poor food, we can also say:Daddy cooks tasteless food, or distasteful food.. When we say Distasteful food,we mean the food is unpleasant to our taste, or has very little flavor.
这么自己对自己“颠来倒去”的说英语,不就是“英语口语”吗?
