广播找人

First One: Can you describe him?

  This simply asks you to state his features, such as his clothes, hair-color, figure, etc. "The boy or the puppy?" Westerners refer to their pets as "he" or "she" as if the pets were people. If you describe your pet to a foreigner and use "it" referring to the pet, the foreigner will assume that you don't like your pet very much or that you treat your pet poorly.

  你能描述一下他吗?这句话用来询问一个人的特征,比如说衣服、头发的颜色、体型等等。"一个男孩还是一只宠物?"西方人通常用"他"或者"她"来指代宠物,就像它们是人一样。如果你向一个外国人描述你的宠物时用"它"来指代,那么外国人就会认为你不太喜欢自己的宠物或者是对自己的宠物不是太好。

  Second One: What is his figure like?

  Is she voluptuous, average, slim, or skinny? It is impolite to refer to a person as "fat", instead say, thick, large, or overweight. Images of very skinny female models on TV and in magazines have made many girls feel overweight and has motivated them to lose more weight than is healthy. Anorexia is a serious problem for young girls in America. The pressure to match the images they see in advertisements is so strong that they starve themselves until they get sick.

  他体型如何?她是身材丰满、适中、苗条还是瘦得皮包骨头?用"fat"来形容一个人是非常不礼貌的。你可以用"thick"(粗壮)、"large"(大块头)或"overweight"(超重)这些词。电视上和杂志里面瘦得皮包骨头的女模特形象,让许多女孩子都感觉自己超重了,这激发她们不顾一切地去减肥而不考虑保持健康。在美国,厌食已经成为困扰年轻女孩子们的一个严重的问题。保持自己瘦得可怕身材像广告里的形象一样的愿望如此强烈,导致她们把自己饿得直至病倒。

  Third One: His eyes are green.

  Nowadays just about everyone can have green eyes if they want them just by wearing contacts. Some of the more extreme contacts give you "cat eyes" or how about "owl eyes"? Some girls now enjoy matching their contacts to their daily outfits.

  他的眼睛是绿色的。当然现如今,每个人都可以拥有一双绿色的眼睛。只要戴上隐形眼镜就行啦!一些更酷的隐形眼镜可以给你一双"猫眼"或者是"猫头鹰的眼睛"。一些女孩子喜欢把隐形眼镜与日常服装相配起来。

  Fourth One: Can I repeat that?

  YES! When dealing with foreigners it is a good idea to ask this question and then try to repeat back what the foreigner has just said. This tends to cut down on language misunderstandings and leads to better friendships and happier customers!

  我可以重述一遍吗?当然可以!当与外国人打交道的时候,先问问这个问题,然后再重复老外刚刚说过的话,是一个明智的做法。这有利于减少语言上的误解,带来更好的友谊和更愉快的客户关系!
