Oh yeah… well… ahh… so… um… oh… 结巴是种病。没病的人,紧张的时候,也会结巴。谈判、面试、相亲 ...... 既然无法摆脱结巴,就让我们从容面对,学学结巴用英语怎么说。

 

有个年轻人参加完一个非常重要的会议后,心情糟糕透顶。他说: There were some of the really big bosses there and when they asked me a question I just couldn't think of what to say. I was completely tongue-tied.

 

原来与会的都是一些非常重要的领导,这个年轻人一时紧张,什么也回答不上来了,所以他就被 tongue-tied 舌头被系住了, 结巴了。这个比喻非常形象,当一个人的舌头被什么东西系住后,如果想说话当然就会比较困难了。

 

实用例句:

A: Hey, how was that date you went on with Alan? He's so sexy!

B: I know, but I was so nervous. I was completely tongue-tied when he asked me anything. He must think I'm such an idiot!

 

例句中, 这位女同胞和自己非常喜欢的男士约会,可是因为自己太紧张了,这个男士问她的问题她一个也回答不上来。她是彻底不知道该说什么了, tongue-tied 。下面例中的两个人则都有过面试时紧张到忘词的经历。

 

A: I had a job interview recently and I just couldn't get my words out properly when they asked me questions. I was really tongue-tied.

B: I know what you mean. Sometimes I get tongue-tied when I'm in an interview.

 

I'm tongue-tied. I can't think of what to say! 多么糟糕的经历。朋友们, do you ever get tongue-tied?
