4 super easy, super simple words that can convey complicated concepts: 4个超简单,却能传递复杂意思的词

Complicated concepts: 复杂的概念

#1. Okay能当动词用

Okay is probably one of the most commonly spoken words in the world: Okay也许是世界上最常用的词

You can use okay as a verb: okay可以当动词用

It means to give permission: 意思是许可、准许、通过

例句:

The boss needs to okay this project: 老板得点头通过这个项目

Did your wife okay your trip to Dong Guan? 你老婆同意你去东莞旅游吗?

So either your boss or your wife needs to okay something: 通常要么是老板、要么是老婆okay一件事

I guess your wife is kind of like your boss: 我觉得某种意义上,老婆就像老板

He is whipped: 他是个妻管严

He’s a wimp: 他怕老婆

#2. Do 的意思好精妙

If something is “doing it for you”, it means it’s effective for you. You respond to it: 如果什么东西“doing it for you”,意思是你觉得它很有效,你对它有反应、有共鸣

If something “not doing it for you”, it means you are not responding to it: 如果一个东西“not doing it for you”, 意思是对你没用,你对它没感觉

例句:

Modern art is not doing it for me: 现代艺术,我看了一点没感觉

Do还能加able,变成Doable

Doable: 能不能做到、能不能办到

It's a great word for making appointments, set time and checking work status: 这个词用来约时间、约聚会、协调工作进度都很好

例句:

Is tomorrow at 7 doable? 明天晚上7点行吗?

Is dinner doable? 我们吃晚饭方便吗?

Is the project doable? 这个项目可以做吗?

回答:

Can do: 行,可以

Sorry, can't do: 不行、不方便

Undo: Ctrl Z,撤销

Undoable: 能撤销

You can add –able to a lot of words: 很多词后面都可以加 –able

#3 Get√

Get means to understand and grasp: get这里的意思是明白、掌握

Get it?/Got it? 明白了吗?清楚吗?

It's used a lot when delegating tasks at work: 工作布置任务的时候,很常用

例句:

Everybody get it? 大家明白了吗?

不过要注意语气

When saying “Got it?” pay attention to the tone of voice: 说“Got it?”时,要注意语气

It might sound impatient and threatening: 有可能听上去不耐烦, 甚至像在威胁别人

怎么办?

You can say “I think I got it” when answering: 回答的时候可以说“I think I got it”

When you add “I think” to your statements, it doesn’t mean you are actually thinking, It softens the tone: 在句子前加“I think”不一定表示你在思考,作用是软化语气

When asking “Got it?', you might want to say it with a smile: 如果你是问'Got it?', 那说的时候最好带着微笑

#4 Work:手机、电脑常常不work

If something is broken or not functioning: you can say “It’s not working”:如果什么东西坏了或者没用了,你可以说“It’s not working”

You can also use it in a positive way: 也可以是肯定的用法,代表有用、运作正常的意思

例句:

My phone/my computer isn’t working: 我电话/电脑坏了

This approach isn't working: 这个方法不行、没用

My phone/my computer works:我电话/电脑没问题

This approach works: 这个方法有用

恋爱也不work

'Work' is also used a lot in relationships: work在人际关系里也很常用

You could say, “It’s just not working out”: 可以说 “It's just not working out”,意思是“这段关系走不下去、发展不下去”

It's commonly said before a breakup: 分手之前很常用

It's not working out. It’s not you, it’s me: 我们走不下去,问题不是你,是我

Not just for romantic relationships, but also in terms of work: 不只是谈恋爱,工作中也能用

For example, before you end a professional relationship, you can say 'this is not working out': 比如,结束一段工作关系时,也可以说'this is not working out'

It means you are not a good fit: 意思是你不适合这个工作

突然想到:

Work也能加able=workable, 意思是可行、行得通

例句:

Is this solution workable? 这个解决方法可行吗?

怎么样,这四个词很神奇吧!
