当您告诉外国人，您的英语很poor，so what(那又怎么样呢)，是要让别人当场施舍给我们一些英语呢，还是说我的英语不好，咱们不谈了吧。
另外一个更大的弊端是，一边不停的学英语，一边不停地说自己的英语很poor,这正像有个人一边给车胎充气，又一边在车胎上扎孔放气。
11. 你愿意参加我们的晚会吗？
Would you like to join our party on Friday?
Would you like to come to our party on Friday night?
join往往是指参加俱乐部或者协会，如：join a health club; join the Communist Party.事实上，常常与party搭配的动词的come 或者go。如go a wild party，或者come to a Christmas Party。
12. 我没有经验。
I have no experience.
I don’t know much about that.
I have no experience这句话听起来古里古怪，因为您只需要说：那方面我懂得不多，或者这方面我不在行，就行了。I am not really an expert in this area.
13. 我没有男朋友。
I have no boyfriend.
I don’t have a boyfriend.
14. 他的身体很健康。
His body is healthy.
He is in good health. You can also say: He’s healthy.
15. 价钱很昂贵/便宜。
The price is too expensive/cheap.
The price is too high/ rather low.
16. 我们下了车。
We got off the car.
We got out of the car.
17. 车速快了。
The speed of the car is fast.
The car is speeding. Or “The car is going too fast.”
18. 这个春节你回家吗？
Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival?
是的，我回去。Of course! （这一句是错的）
当然。Sure. / Certainly.（这种说法是正确的）
以英语为母语的人使用of course的频率要比中国的学生低得多，只有在回答一些众所周知的问题时才说of course。因为of course后面隐含的一句话是“当然我知道啦！难道我是一个傻瓜吗？”因此，of course带有挑衅的意味。在交谈时，用sure或certainly效果会好得多。同时，of course not也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not.
19. 我觉得右手很疼。
I feel very painful in my right hand.
My right hand is very painful. Or “ My right hand hurts(aches).”
20. 他看到她很惊讶。
