口語中 Not at all. 用法歸納
Not at all 是什麼意思?下麪一題可以用它填空嗎?
—I'm sorry to have taken you too much of your time.
—__________. I'm always glad to be of help to you.
A. Not at all B. Don't say so C. You are too polite D. With pleasure
此題應(yīng)選A。分析如下:
選項B,C錯,因爲(wèi)這是按漢語表達(dá)直譯過來的,英語口語中一般不這樣說。
選項D錯,因爲(wèi)With pleasure. 主要用來愉快地答應(yīng)對方的請求或邀請,意爲(wèi):好的;沒問題;十分願意。如:
—Will you please help me with this? 請幫我做這 事好嗎?
—With pleasure. 非常樂意。
上麪一題應(yīng)選A,下麪歸納Not at all. 的用法。如:
1. 用來廻答感謝,意爲(wèi):不用謝; 不客氣。如:
—Thank you very much. 多謝你了。
—Not at all. 不客氣。
2. 用來廻答帶有感謝性質(zhì)的客套話,意爲(wèi):沒什麼。如:
—You are very kind. 你真好。
—Not at all. 沒什麼。
3. 用來廻答道歉,意爲(wèi):沒關(guān)系。如:
—I'm sorry I'm late. 對不起,我遲到了。
—Oh, not at all, do come in. 噢,沒關(guān)系,請進(jìn)來。
4. 用來表示否定(是No的加強(qiáng)說法),意爲(wèi):一點也不。如:
—Are you tired? 你累了嗎?
—Not at all. 一點不累。
