詞人柳永曾在《雨霖鈴》中寫道：“執(zhí)手相看淚眼,，竟無語凝噎?！比舴g成英文,，此情此景豈一句“have nothing to say或“speechless”能道盡。今天,，我們就來學(xué)習(xí)一下“無話可說”在英語中幾種不同的表達(dá),。

1

1.Speechless

因?yàn)閰拹夯蛘叱泽@而無語~

例：I'm so tired of my friend's excuses that I am speechless.

我朋友總是找各種理由來搪塞我，簡(jiǎn)直無語了我！

2. Bite back (something)/ bite (something) back

想說又不能說,，話到了嘴邊只能咽回去,。英文里bite有“咬”的意思，bite back“咬回去”,，這個(gè)短語形容“欲言又止”是否很生動(dòng)呢,？

例：I attempted to smile sweetly while biting back angry comments.

我盡量擠出一絲討喜的微笑，把一肚子氣話都咽了下去,。

3. Have nothing to say for oneself

不打算說,，也不想說，總之不準(zhǔn)備向別人透露自己的想法~

例：She doesn't have much to say for herself.

她自己無話可說,。

4. Keep (yourself) to yourself

真正的“獨(dú)孤求敗”來啦,！沉默寡言，對(duì)別人的事情從來不感興趣,?？傊约旱南敕ㄗ约褐谰秃脋

例：Nobody knows much about him; he keeps himself very much to himself.

誰都不了解他,，他這人很少與人來往,。

5. Not be on speaking terms (with somebody)

這個(gè)短語的意思是因?yàn)檫€在生某人的氣，不愿意跟他講話,。它的肯定形式則表示發(fā)生爭(zhēng)論后愿意友好地和某人講話,。

例：She's not been on speaking terms with her uncle for years.

她已經(jīng)好幾年沒再跟她叔叔說過話了。

6. Lost for words

有種沒話說是因?yàn)椴恢?。?dāng)你感到非常驚訝或困惑時(shí),，有時(shí)真的不知道該說什么好。這個(gè)短語說的就是這種情況,。

例：I was so surprised to see her that I was lost for words.

見到她太意外了,，我一下子不知道該說些什么了。
