表達意見
表達意見句型是用英語說出自己的看法、同意或反對別人,以及在不確定時保留空間的句子。英語文化重視「有自己的意見」,但表達不同意見時會先肯定對方,再委婉地提出自己的看法。學會這些句型,在聊天、上課討論與開會時都能更自在地發言。
說出自己的看法
| 句型 | 例句 | 語氣 |
|---|---|---|
| I think... | I think it's a good idea. | 最通用 |
| In my opinion,... | In my opinion, the movie was too long. | 較正式 |
| I feel like... | I feel like we need more time. | 口語、表達感受 |
| Personally,... | Personally, I prefer working from home. | 強調個人觀點 |
| If you ask me,... | If you ask me, it's too expensive. | 口語 |
| As far as I know,... | As far as I know, the store closes at nine. | 就我所知 |
同意別人
| 程度 | 英文 | 中文 |
|---|---|---|
| 完全同意 | I totally agree. | 我完全同意。 |
| 完全同意 | Exactly! | 沒錯! |
| 同意 | You're right. | 你說得對。 |
| 同意 | That makes sense. | 有道理。 |
| 部分同意 | I agree to some extent. | 某種程度上我同意。 |
| 部分同意 | That's true, but... | 那是沒錯,但是…… |
委婉地反對
直接說 You're wrong. 或 I disagree. 會顯得很強硬。比較自然的做法是「肯定 → 轉折 → 提出看法」:
| 英文 | 中文 |
|---|---|
| I see your point, but I think there's another way to look at it. | 我懂你的意思,但我覺得可以換個角度看。 |
| I'm not so sure about that. | 這點我不太確定。 |
| That's a good point, but what about the cost? | 說得好,但成本怎麼辦? |
| I'm afraid I see it differently. | 恐怕我的看法不太一樣。 |
| I respect your opinion, but I don't agree. | 我尊重你的意見,但我不同意。 |
不確定或保持中立
| 英文 | 中文 |
|---|---|
| It depends. | 看情況。 |
| I'm not sure. I need to think about it. | 我不確定,我需要想一想。 |
| I can see both sides. | 我覺得兩邊都有道理。 |
| I don't have a strong opinion on that. | 我對這個沒有特別的看法。 |
說明理由與舉例
說完看法後補充理由,意見會更有說服力:
- The main reason is that it saves time.(主要原因是它省時間。)
- For example, my commute is two hours a day.(例如,我每天通勤兩小時。)
- That's why I think remote work is better.(這就是我認為遠距工作比較好的原因。)
對話範例:討論遠距工作
| 角色 | 英文 | 中文 |
|---|---|---|
| A | What do you think about working from home? | 你覺得在家工作怎麼樣? |
| B | Personally, I love it. I save two hours a day on commuting. | 我個人很喜歡,每天省下兩小時通勤時間。 |
| A | That makes sense, but don't you feel lonely sometimes? | 有道理,但你不會有時候覺得孤單嗎? |
| B | That's true. I miss chatting with my coworkers. | 那倒是,我很想念跟同事聊天。 |
| A | I think a hybrid schedule is the best of both worlds. | 我覺得混合辦公是兩全其美的做法。 |
| B | I totally agree. | 我完全同意。 |
