🎯 這集你會學到: ・We should grab lunch sometime=真正意思:友善道別的客套話,通常 ・We should catch up sometime=真正意思:跟上面同一家族,禮貌性 ・I'll let you know=真正意思:多半是婉拒或拖延,不代 同事說「We should grab lunch sometime」你就傻傻等對方約?主管說「It's fine」你就以為真的沒事?這篇整理美國人最常講的8句場面話,教你怎麼分辨客套還是真心——關鍵只看有沒有給具體時間,搭配情境對話與逐字稿,聽完再也不會被言外之意騙。 ▶ 完整逐字稿、重點單字、句型: https://mjenglishclass.com/daily-english/en-polite-phrases-decoded 💬 你有沒有把哪一句場面話當真過? 你曾經被哪句「聽起來很客氣」的英文騙過! 👇 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🗣️ 情境對話 Dialogue 場景:Amy 跟在地朋友 Jason 碰面聊天,講起同事和主管最近說的幾句話,越想越覺得哪裡怪怪的。 Amy: Jason, can I ask you something? Lisa told me "we should grab lunch sometime" three months ago, and she still hasn't texted me. (Jason,我問你一件事哦。Lisa 三個月前跟我說「我們改天該一起吃個飯」(we should grab lunch sometime),結果到現在都沒傳訊息給我。) Jason: Ha, that's totally normal — Americans say that as a friendly goodbye, not a real invitation. (哈,這超正常的——美國人講這句只是道別時的客套話,不是真的要約你。) Amy: Wait, so she never actually meant it? (等等,所以她根本沒打算真的約?) Jason: Probably not. If she meant it, she'd give you an actual day, like "are you free Thursday?" (大概沒有。如果她是認真的,會直接給你一個具體的日子,像是「你禮拜四有空嗎?」) Amy: Okay, that explains so much. Same thing happened with my manager — I asked about a raise, and he said "I'll let you know." (好吧,這樣就說得通了。我主管也是這樣——我問他加薪的事,他說「我會再讓你知道」(I'll let you know)。) Jason: And did he ever bring it up again? (那他後來有再提過嗎?) Amy: Nope. Total silence. (沒有,完全沒下文。) Jason: Yeah, that phrase is usually a polite no, not a real promise. (對啊,這句話通常就是委婉的拒絕,不是真的承諾。) Amy: And last week I missed a deadline, and he just said "it's fine." (還有上禮拜我有個東西沒趕上截止期限,他只說了句「沒關係」(it's fine)。) Jason: Did he seem a little distant after that? (那之後他有沒有變得比較冷淡?) Amy: Actually, yeah, kind of. (說真的,好像還真的有一點。) Jason: There's your answer. "It's fine" doesn't always mean it's fine — no specific plan or follow-up usually just means politeness. (妳看吧,這就是答案了。「It's fine」不代表真的沒事——沒有具體計畫或後續,通常就只是客套。) Amy: I wish someone had told me this sooner! (真希望早點有人跟我講這些啊!) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 重點例句 We should grab lunch sometime/真正意思:友善道別的客套話,通常不是真的要約,除非對方後續給你具體時間 We should catch up sometime/真正意思:跟上面同一家族,禮貌性的道別語,別傻傻等對方主動約 I'll let you know/真正意思:多半是婉拒或拖延,不代表真的會回覆你答案 It's fine/真正意思:嘴上說沒事,但語氣或後續反應可能透露其實在意 No worries/真正意思:通常是真心的沒關係,但偶爾也是掩飾不悅的客套話 With all due respect/真正意思:恕我直言——等於在說「我接下來要反駁你了」 Interesting/真正意思:語帶保留、不見得認同,不是單純的稱讚 I hear you/真正意思:我懂你的意思,但不代表我同意或會照做 Let's take it offline/真正意思:現在不想在這個場合談,有時候之後真的會聊,但常常就不了了之 Let me think about it/真正意思:委婉的緩兵之計,很可能之後就不了了之 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚦 下次這樣說 Next Time ① 同事說「We should grab lunch sometime」 ❌ I'll just wait for her to text me and set up a time. ✅ If I actually want to meet up, I should just suggest a specific day myself. ② 主管說「It's fine」但語氣怪怪的 ❌ He said it's fine, so everything must really be fine. ✅ If his tone felt off, I should quietly check in later instead of assuming it's really fine. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔓 解鎖無廣告+完整內容,支持 VIP 訂閱: Apple|https://apple.co/4rYiYa7 Spotify|[https://sptfy.bio/mjenglish](https://sptfy.bio/mjenglish >)(點頁面 🔒 鎖頭即可訂閱解鎖) 📚 推薦教材:賴世雄獨門英文文法心法+圖表+練習 [https://s.shopee.tw/AKO1JfgYp4](<</a> https://s.shopee.tw/AKO1JfgYp4>)>) ☕ 請我們喝杯咖啡: https://p.ecpay.com.tw/E34AEEA -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
