我不知道
1. Dunno 这个词为非正式用语,一般在口语中使用,孩子们不想回答父母的问题时会经常用到这个词。 e.g. 'When do you have to submit this essay?' 'Dunno. I can't remember.' 例句:“你什么时候要交论文?”“不知道,不记得了。” 2. I have no idea/I haven't a clue/I haven't the faintest idea 这些表达通常用在你没有任何关于这个问题的信息,无法猜到答案的时候。 e.g. 'What time does the film start?' 'I have no idea. Why don't you call the cinema?' 例句:“电影什么时候开始?” “不清楚,你为什么不打电话问电影院呢?” e.g. 'Would you by any chance know where St James's Street is?' 'I haven't a clue. Sorry.' 例句:“你知道圣詹姆斯大街在哪儿吗?” “不好意思,不太清楚。” e.g. 'Could somebody please explain how this happened?' 'I haven't the faintest idea.' 例句:“有没有人能解释一下这是怎么回事?” “我也不知道。” 3. How should I know?/Don't ask me/Search me 当你不知道问题的答案,又很反感别人问你时,可以这么说。 e.g. 'Who left this mess on the table?' 'How should I know? I've only just come home.' 例句:“谁把桌子弄得一团乱?” “我怎么知道,我才刚到家。” e.g. 'What time did she say she was catching her train? ' 'Don't ask me. I'm always the last to know.' 例句:“她什么时候说她在赶火车来着?” “别问我,我总是最后一个知道的。” e.g. 'Why didn't he ask you for the keys?' 'Search me. I'm not a mind reader.' 例句:“为什么他不问你要钥匙呢?” “不知道,我又不会读心术。” 4. Who knows?/It's anyone's guess 当你不知道问题的答案,而且其他人也不可能知道的时候,就可以用这两句。 e.g. 'Will they ever find the missing aircraft?' 'Who knows? The search been going on for such a long time now.' 例句:“他们会找到失踪的飞机吗?” “谁知道呢?搜寻工作已经进行了这么长时间了。” e.g. 'How the situation will develop from here is anyone's guess.' 例句:“谁都不知道事态会如何发展。” 5. Your guess is as good as mine 如果你和提问题的人一样不知道问题的答案,你就可以这样说。 e.g. 'Do you think we will be able to book the restaurant for Friday?' 'Your guess is as good as mine.' 例句:“你觉得我们能在周五预定到这家餐厅吗?”“我和你一样不知道。” 6. Not as far as I know 当你认为某件事可能是真的但又不确定的情况下,可以用这个表达。 e.g. 'Has Clive left the company? I haven't seen him for ages.' 'Not as far as I know, but I haven't seen him recently either.' 例句:“Clive离开公司了吗?我好久都没见到他了。” “可能吧,我也很久没见他了。” 7. It beats me 这是一种表达你不知道或不懂的非正式用语。“it”可省去。 e.g. 'Why did he do such a stupid thing?' 'It beats me.' 例句:“他怎么会做这种蠢事?” “不知道啊!” |
