填充語與轉折

填充語(Fillers)是說話時用來爭取思考時間的詞,例如 well、let me see;轉折語(Discourse Markers)是用來連接想法、改變話題或強調重點的詞,例如 actually、by the way、anyway。母語人士說話時大量使用這些詞,學會之後,你的英語會聽起來更自然、更流暢,也不必害怕一時想不出下一句。

爭取思考時間

與其沉默或一直說「嗯……」,不如用下面的說法讓對方知道你在思考:

英文 中文
Well... 嗯……
Let me see... 我想想……
Let me think about that for a second. 讓我想一下。
That's a good question. 這是個好問題。
How can I put this? 該怎麼說呢?
What's the word? 那個字怎麼說來著?

補充、修正與強調

英文 用法 例句
Actually 修正或說出意外的事 Actually, I've never been there.
I mean 補充說明自己剛說的話 It was good. I mean, not amazing, but good.
You know 拉近距離、確認對方理解 It's that new café, you know, the one near the station.
Basically 簡化說明 Basically, we need to start over.
To be honest 說出真心話 To be honest, I didn't like the ending.
Kind of / Sort of 讓語氣不那麼絕對 I'm kind of tired today.

轉換或回到話題

英文 中文 例句
By the way 順帶一提 By the way, did you get my message?
Speaking of... 說到…… Speaking of food, have you had lunch yet?
Anyway 總之、話說回來 Anyway, where was I?
So 開啟新話題或做結論 So, what are your plans for the weekend?

表示有在聽

聽別人說話時,適時加上簡短的回應,對方會覺得你有在認真聽:

  • Uh-huh.(嗯嗯。)
  • I see.(我懂了。)
  • Right.(對。)
  • Oh, really?(喔,真的嗎?)
  • No way!(不會吧!)
  • That's interesting.(真有趣。)

不要過度使用

填充語能讓英語更自然,但每句都加 like、you know 或 actually,反而會讓人覺得囉嗦或不確定。正式報告與面試時,用 Let me think... 這類完整的說法比 um、like 更好。

對話範例:聊最近看的影集

角色 英文 中文
A So, have you watched anything good lately? 那,你最近有看什麼好看的嗎?
B Let me see... Oh, I just finished that new detective series. 我想想……喔,我剛看完那部新的偵探影集。
A Really? How was it? 真的嗎?好看嗎?
B It was good. I mean, the ending was kind of weird, but I enjoyed it. 不錯。我是說,結局有點怪,但我看得很開心。
A Speaking of detective shows, have you seen the one set in London? 說到偵探劇,你看過背景在倫敦的那部嗎?
B Actually, I haven't. Is it worth watching? 其實還沒,值得看嗎?
