很多人学英语都会有这样的经历：话到嘴边却怎么也说不出来。来学一些妙句吧，解决你在办公室的难题。接下来，小编给大家准备了,欢迎大家参考与借鉴。
当别人在你旁边罗嗦个没完，你烦透了，说You are so boring1. (你真烦!)，Shut2 up!(闭嘴!)自然没错，可人家受得了吗?不如来一句：Oh, come on. Give me a break! (帮帮忙，让我歇歇吧!)这多地道、多幽默。
要想说人“气色好”，“You look fine!”当然不错，可如果你说“You're in the pink!”就妙得多了。实际上，在英语口语中，表示颜色的词用起来非常形象生动。
“他精力充沛”美国人说：He is bouncy. 而不说 He is energetic，牢记一些日常对话中的活句式是你一把必备的钥匙。
比如：久仰，I get mind3 of you. 比 I heard a lot about you. 轻松得多。
代问他人好当然能用Please remember me to your sister. 或Please give my best wishes to your father. 不过，若是很好的朋友，何不说：Please give my love to .
在中国可不能随便说“我想你”，然而，当和西方人分手时说I will miss you. 要比说Goodbye或See you soon. 深情得多，不妨一试。
有人开会迟到了，你若对他说You are late.，听起来像是废话，若说Did you get lost?，则更能让他歉然，可别说成Get lost! 那可是让人滚蛋的意思。
别人问你不愿公开的问题，切勿用 It's my secret5 ,don't ask such6 a personal7 question . 回答，一来显得你没有个性，二来也让对方尴尬。你可以说 I would8 rather9 not say.(还是别说了吧!)。
交谈时，你可能会转换话题，不要只说By the way，实际上，To change the subject，Before I forget，While I remember，Mind you 都是既地道又受欢迎的表达。
遇到你不懂的问题时可别不懂装懂，I know可能是中国人用得最多、而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时，你如果连说两遍I know，我敢保证，他不会再跟你说什么了。用 I see 或I got10 it 就顺耳得多，要是不懂就说 I'm not clear11 about it. 不过如果你会说It's past my understanding12. 或It's beyond13 me. 你的教师定会惊讶不已的。
扩展：工作经历不可少
上次长长的秘笈你掌握了没有?这里还有一些。可不要嫌多，简历写好了才能有更大的把握找到满意的工作。
1. What if your job title doesn't reflect your actual level of responsibility?
When you list it on the resume, either replace it with a more appropriate job title (say "Office Manager" instead of "Administrative1 Assistant" if that's more realistic) OR use their job title AND your fairer one together, i.e. "Administrative Assistant (Office Manager)"
2. How can you avoid age discrimination?
If you're over 40 or 50 or 60, remember that you don't have to present your entire work history! You can simply label THAT part of your resume "Recent Work History" or "Relevant Work History" and then describe only the last 10 or 15 years of your eperience. Below your 10-15 year work history, you could add a paragraph headed "Prior relevant eperience" and simply refer to any additional important (but ancient) jobs without mentioning dates.
3. What if you never had any "real" paid jobs -- just self-employment or odd jobs?
Give yourself credit, and create an accurate, fair job-title for yourself. For eample:
A&S Hauling & Cleaning (Self-employed) -- or
Household Repairman, Self-employed -- or
Child-Care, Self-employed
Be sure to add "Customer references available on request" and then be prepared to provide some very good references of people you worked for.
4. How far back should you go in your Work History?
Far enough; and not too far! About 10 or 15 years is usually enough - unless your "juiciest" work eperience is from farther back.
5. How can a student list summer jobs?
Students can make their resume look neater by listing seasonal2 jobs very simply, such as "Spring 1996" or "Summer 1996" rather than 6/96 to 9/96. (The word "Spring" can be in very tiny letters, say 8-point in size.)
6. What if you don't quite have your degree or credentials3 yet?
You can say something like:
Eligible4 for U.S. credentials -- or
Graduate studies in Instructional Design, in progress -- or
Master's Degree anticipated December 1997
7. What if you worked for only one employer for 20 or 30 years?
Then list separately each different position you held there, so your job progression within the company is more obvious.
8. What about listing hobbies and interests?
Don't include hobbies on a resume unless the activity is somehow relevant to your job objective, or clearly reveals a characteristic that supports your job objective. For eample, a hobby of Sky Diving (adventure, courage) might seem relevant to some job objectives (Security Guard?) but not to others.
9. What about revealing race or religion?
Don't include ethnic5 or religious affiliations6 (inviting pre-interview discrimination) UNLESS you can see that including them will support your job objective. Get an opinion from a respected friend or colleague about when to reveal, and when to conceal7, your affiliations.
10. What if your name is Robin8 Williams?
Don't mystify the reader about your gender9; they'll go nuts until they know whether you're male or female. So if your name is Lee or Robin or Pat or anything else not clearly male or female, use a Mr. or Ms. prefi10.
11. What if you got your degree from a different country?
You can say "Degree equivalent to U.S. Bachelor's Degree in Economics-Teheran, Iran."
12. What about fancy-schmancy paper?
Employers tell me they HATE parchment paper and pretentious11 brochure-folded resume "presentations." They think they're phony, and toss them right out. Use plain white or ivory, in a quality appropriate for your job objective. Never use colored paper unless there's a very good reason for it (like, you're an artist) because if it gets photo-copied the results will be murky12.
13. Should you fold your resume?
Don't fold a laser-printed resume right along a line of tet. The "ink" could flake13 off along the fold.
