為爺爺世代乾杯！

（那個大樓因為資金不足所以無法預測何時完成。） 　 　　（看不下去新進人員的工作態度就出手幫忙了。） 　 　　（訪問母校時，許多回憶浮上心頭。） 　 　　（身為學生，本來就應該念書。） 　 　　（即使天地逆轉，我的想法也不會改變。）

有帶 camera 嗎？

說法比一比：★★★學校：It will be a pity if you don't bring your camera.
　　（假如你沒帶相機，會很可惜。）
老外：It would be a shame not to bring your camera.
　　（沒帶相機會很可惜。）


實境對話
A：I think I'm going to leave my bag in the hotel room.
　（我想我會把包包留在飯店房間裡。）
B：OK, but it would be a shame not to bring your camera.
　（好，可是沒帶相機會很可惜。）



老外還會這麼說
ex：It would be too bad if you didn't bring your camera.
　（假如你沒帶相機，那就太可惜了。）
ex：If you don't bring your camera, you'll regret it.　
　（假如你沒帶相機，你會後悔的。）
ex：Don't forget to bring a camera.　
　（別忘了帶相機。）

I have to say，我不喜歡你！

多益相關指數：★★★同在一間公司的肯恩和南希，在剛進公司時，有過一點小過節，所以互相都盡量不要碰到面，公司有團體活動時也盡量負責不同的工作！不過，有一次公司舉辦運動會，由抽籤來分配大家的工作，很巧的兩人被分派到同一組，這時肯恩馬上挑明，I have to say，我不喜歡你！


來聽老美怎麼說？
Ken：I have to say, Nancy, I don't trust you. Not a bit.
　（肯恩：我必須說，南希，我不信任你。一點兒都不。）
Nancy：I don't trust you either.
　（南希：我也不信任你。）
Ken：That's my kind of alliance.
　（肯恩：我就喜歡這種結盟。）
Nancy：We're going to use each other. It's going to be a nasty, dirty, sinister partnership.
You'll enjoy it.
　（南希：我們將相互利用。這將是個齷齪、骯髒、險惡的夥伴關係。你會喜歡的。）


俚語小解析I have to say.　　我必須說。　
此一開場白，在許多情況下都很有用。當你想說一些讚美時，或是你覺得有責任對某件事情公開發表意見時。也可以用它來稍微地緩和一項評價或論斷，使你的評論聽起來不會那麼直接坦白。
