聘外易-学校轻松招聘外教

英文沟通中常见的谚语

在和外教沟通的过程中，我们可能会听到外教用一些地道的英语表达来描述自己的心情或传达自己的态度，除了一些我们经常见到的缩略语例如“ASAP（as soon as possible）”，“thx( thanks)”,“LOL( laugh out aloud)”，常用的短句“You bet!(当然）”“I see.（我知道了）”“No, prob.（没问题）”有些外国人在聊天时还喜欢用谚语。与前者不同的是，我们在英语学习中接触的地道的英语谚语较少，在聊天时可能难以察觉外教在使用谚语，只理解了字面意思从而导致疑惑的产生，有时甚至还会造成误解。如一位外教在沟通时表达“you are putting the cart before the horse( 把马车放在马前面， 形容本末倒置） ”，这个时候，如果你不能完全理解外教的意思，继续侃侃而谈，那么你很可能错失了挽回外教的时机。所以了解一些常见的英文谚语，还是有必要的，下面我们就来看一些比较常见的英文谚语。
