大家好,欢迎来到今天的空中英语课堂。今天我们要讨论的问题是中式英语——Chinglish.
I'm a little tired. What time is it now?
Pay attention about this sentence. What time is it now是一个直接从汉语翻译过来的句子,也就是我们通常说的中式英语“Chinglish”。讲英语的时候没有必要说now,因为您不可能问what time was it yesterday, 或者what time is it tomorrow?所以符合英语习惯的说法是:请问现在几点了?What time is it, please?What time is it, please?还有一种说法是:How are we doing for time? How are we doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适。
Now, this is a short conversation to help you to remember these.
A:Excuse me. What time is it, please?
