中国文化英语版:肯定词汇的解析
编者按:在中国文化中,肯定的回答有着不同的表达方式,用是的,好的,可以等词来表达,但是在英语的解释中是有区别的,我们一起来看一看英语对中国肯定词汇的解析。
1. 是 – Shì|是的 – Shìde
Used to confirm something. Typically, "shì是" is used in answers to questions that contain "shì是" e's also "shìde是的" , which is a soft and polite agreement that also expresses complaisance to the person you're talking to. It's more colloquial than "shì是".
A: 你是中国人吗? nǐ shì zhōngguó rén ma? — Are you Chinese?
B1: 是 shì — Yes, I am.
B2: 是的 shìde — Yes, I am.
2. 对 – duì
Means "correct" in Chinese. It's very similar to how "right" is used in English.
3. 没错 – méicuò
It literally means "you're not wrong". "méicuò没错" could be translated as "that's right" .
A: 你是学生吗? nǐ shì xuéshēng mа? — Are you a student?
B: 没错 méi cuò — That's right.
3.好 – hǎo|好的 – hǎode
Both of them are similar to "good," "fine," and "OK." They are the most common ways of saying "OK" or "good" as an agreement to a request.
"好的hǎode" is much more softer than "好hǎo" in the tone. You can hear "好的hǎode" from hotel staff or a server at a restaurant that means "I agree (with you)" or "will do".
A: 请把我的行李放在我的房间 qǐng bǎ wǒde xínglǐ fàngzài wǒde fángjiān — Please take the suitcase to my room .
B: 好的 hǎode — Will do.
4. 行 – xíng
"Will do," "OK." This word originates from the verb "to go". You may have seen this character painted on the traffic signs.
A: 晚上吃火锅可以吗?wǎnshàng chī huǒguō kěyǐ ma ? — Can we have hotpot tonight?
B: 行 xíng — OK.
You might hear "还行 hái xíng" is used commonly in Chinese talk.
A: 这家餐馆怎么样? zhè jiā cānguǎn zěn me yàng? — What do you think about this restaurant?
B:还行 hái xíng — It's OK .(but I'm not impressed).
5. 可以 – kěyǐ
Used to give someone permission to do something, often translated as "can" or "may."
A: 可以抽烟吗 ? kěyǐ chōuyān ma? — Can I smoke here?
B: 可以 kěyǐ — Yes, you can.
Both kěyǐ可以 and xíng行 are the words that mean "you can," so in some cases 可以 and 行 can be used interchangeably.
6. Ok了 – Ok le
As a colloquial way of saying some work has been done, young generations like to speak "Ok le" in the daily.
A: 你做完作业了吗? nǐ zuò wán zuòyè le ma? — Have you finished your homework?
B: Ok了. — Yes, I have.
