英语口语注意点 所谓 tentative 语气，字面上的意思就是「试探性」的语气，也就是不要把话说 死，给自己留一点余地。 注意 tentative 不等于 uncertain 的语气，注意和 maybe这种语气区分开来。 比如多用 seem, appear, sound, look 这样的词。 例如 . This is wrong 改成 This seems to be wrong. We dont have other option 改成 It seems we dont have other option. 反正在下结论的时候 （哪怕明明是很确定的事情 ) ，记得加一个 seems, appears ， 语气没那么生硬。 另外，描述一个东西，就算是明显已经知道很好，也要说 looks good, sounds good，而不是 Its good. 以下还要注意的几点 1）不要总是说 maybe这种垃圾话，如果确定性比较大的情况下，用 probably （实在不行改成 seem也好） 比较 例一 Maybe this is right This is probably right. 例二 Could we have a better way to do it? Maybe(maybe你妹） . Probably. 中国人滥用 maybe，不管什么情况都用 maybe，给人一种毫无把握的感觉。在表 示很有可能的时候，老外都用 probably 。maybe是比较不确定。《纸牌屋》里 Peter Russo 和他家乡的人说关闭了船厂，但是他有一项新的法案 maybe可以让 他们重新获得工作，结果这个 maybe惹怒了他家乡人。 如果想表示“我很可能是错的”用 Im probably wrong. 2 ）给别人提供建议时，不要用 should ，也不要 youd better ，而是用 It would be better 比较 This design should be changed. It would be better if we can change the design. 3 ）表示一件事希望你做，但是不强求时，用 It would be nice/great 而不是 I need you to xxx, I hope you xxxx, could you? I hope you can come today. You need to come today. Could you come today? I t would be nice/great if you can come today. ( 隐含的意思是 still OK if you cant make it.) 再举个例子 比较 Can you bring some wine to the party? It would be nice/great if you can bring some wine to the party. 4 ）问别人你要东西 / 信息时，用 May I have...? 而不要 Could you give me? 比较 例一 Whats your name? May I have your name? 例二 Could you send me the drawing today? May I have the drawing today? 例三 《血战钢锯岭》里，法官要老 Doss 把那封信给他，他是说 May I have the letter ？而不是 Could you give me the letter? 例四 问别人有没有时间 Could I have a minute/moment of your time? （非常非常礼貌，销售员问法） Do you have a m
