表達意見想法 (想、認為、覺得) 常見同義詞 :(從感性到理性) ◾Feel (完全陳述自己沒有理性的感受): I feel that you are making fun of me. ◾Think (參雜個人想法但不一定是事實的感受): I think this is crazy. ◾Find (經過觀察後表示個人想法): You don't think it's funny? I find it very amusing! ◾Figure (經過思索後表示個人想法): I figure (that) it won't hurt to try. ◾Gather (有一些事實依據的猜測想法): I gather that you don't want to go. 當中 find 跟 find out,還有 figure 跟 figure out 的用法比較容易搞混。順便解釋一下。有加 out 這個字就是有出路的意思,所以想要有結果或得出結論的陳述才用 find out/figure out。例如: ◾I find him attractive, but then find out he is gay. ◾I figure it's useless, but later figure out how to make it work. I believe (無論事實依據一廂情願的想法) I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky. |
一、表達意見
中立表達自己意見的時候 :
- As for me, … 至於我呢,
- I would say that… / I’d like to say this 我是會這麼說的…..
- In my opinion / view, …. 我認為….
- I believe / feel / think that 我認為 / 覺得 / 相信...
- I'm convinced / sure that … 我會這樣說
- As far as I’m concerned…. 就我而言…
- It seems to me that ... 在我看來 ...
- If you ask me…. 如果你問我的話…
- The point is that…. 我的觀點是…
- Personally, ... 就我個人而言
強烈表達自己意見的時候 :
- There's no doubt in my mind that … 我非常肯定...
- It's quite clear that…非常清楚的是...
- I'm positive that... 我確信...
二、表達贊同他人意見
- So do I. 我也這樣認為
- I agree (with you) completely /entirely. 我完全認同(你說的)
- I agree with you. / I agree with you that「你的想法」.我同意你說的…..
- I couldn't agree more.我非常同意!
- I feel the same way. 我有同樣的想法
- Exactly/ Of course 表示絕對、當然
- That's true. 那是真的。
- You're absolutely right. 你說得太對了!
- I think so too. / I don't think so either.我也是這麼認為。/ 我也不這麼認為。
- I hold the same opinion.我的意見跟你一樣。
- I'd go along with that.我贊成…..
- I have come to the same conclusion.我的結論跟你一樣。
Bob : How about we working in groups of four? There are too many of us! Greg : I'd go along with that我贊成. We can work on different tasks at the same time. It'd be more efficient than we spending all the time and efforts on one matter together. Matt : I can't agree more. Let's do it! |
三、表示反對的立場
- I’m afraid I disagree. 我恐怕不是這麼想
- I'm not so sure about that. 我不確定耶!
- However,「我的想法內容」. 但是…,「我的想法內容」
- That's not entirely true. 那不完全是真的。
- I take a different view. 我的看法跟你不同。
- I think otherwise. 我跟你想的剛好相反。
- That's different. 那是不一樣的!
- I don't share your view.我的看法跟你不一樣。
- I disagree. 我不同意。
- I don’t think so. 我不這樣認為
Jason : It seems to me that hiking under such a bad weather is not a very wise move. It's too dangerous. Susie : I don't think so. Yes it is a bit windy and rainy, but I'm sure it'd get better in the afternoon. We can go until the rain stops. I don't want to waste the whole weekend lying on sofa! Manya : I'm not so sure about that, Susie. I suppose Jason is right. We shouldn't risk our lives just because we want to have some fun. It's seems a bit irresponsible不負責任. Susie : Oh well….I feel bad now. I guess I didn't think it through. I'm sure we can find something also interesting to do at home then. |
反對完說出自己想法或反對原因:
- I don’t like to disagree with you, but … 我不喜歡反對你,但….
- All right, but don’t you think … 好吧,但你不覺得….
- … however … 然而 (這可舉出你部分同意的地方,再表述你覺得不好的地方)
- But what about …? 但關於…..方面呢?
四、總結你的觀點
剛說完自己意見或反對他人意見,可以總結表示得更清楚

- Let me repeat what I said … 讓我整理重申我剛講的是….
五、詢問他人意見
- What do you think about? 你覺得怎樣?
- How do you see it? 你怎麼看?
- What’s your view on the matter? 這件事你的看法如何?
- Let’s have your opinion. 讓我們聽聽你的意見
