這是個(gè)什么詞?
詞:understandable
英英釋義:to be expected; natural, reasonable, or forgivable
例句:It's perfectly understandable. Thank you anyway.
2. 為什么選這個(gè)詞他去?
“understandable”是形容詞,它有兩個(gè)意思饭豹,一個(gè)是“易懂的”踪央,同義詞是 comprehensible伞矩;一個(gè)是“可以理解的”楣颠,是我們今天重點(diǎn)學(xué)習(xí)的嫁乘。這個(gè)詞看似簡(jiǎn)單,但很多基礎(chǔ)不錯(cuò)的英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)者都不會(huì)使用球碉。它可以體現(xiàn)使用者的同理心,起到很好的溝通效果仓蛆。一般可以在 understandable 前加 perfectly 和 totally 來(lái)增強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣睁冬。
我們經(jīng)常會(huì)請(qǐng)別人幫忙,而別人總會(huì)由于這樣那樣的原因無(wú)法幫助我們。這時(shí)候我們可以說(shuō) Thank you all the same 或 Thank you anyway豆拨。我們還可以用 understandable直奋,讓對(duì)方感覺(jué)沒(méi)有壓力:
It's perfectly understandable. Thank you anyway.
It's understandable that you have so much work to do towards the end of the year and cannot help me. Thank you anyway.
別人聽(tīng)到這樣的話(huà)心里肯定很舒服,下次如果你需要幫助施禾,他會(huì)更愿意幫你脚线。
類(lèi)似地,當(dāng)別人答應(yīng)你做一件事情弥搞,但由于某個(gè)突然的原因無(wú)法履行承諾時(shí)邮绿,也可以用 understandable 來(lái)表示“沒(méi)事,我理解”:
It's totally understandable. Things happen. Don't worry about it.
如果你是團(tuán)隊(duì)負(fù)責(zé)人攀例,當(dāng)你的下屬犯了某個(gè)錯(cuò)誤時(shí)船逮,就可以用 understandable 安慰他不必過(guò)于擔(dān)心。比如:
The mistake is totally understandable. It's a minor one anyway. Be careful next time.
This is a perfectly understandable mistake. Nobody has experience in handling the situation. We will certainly get better next time.
不難看出粤铭,會(huì)用 understandable 這個(gè)詞可以體現(xiàn)一個(gè)人的同理心和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力挖胃,更容易和別人建立信任的關(guān)系。這個(gè)詞也可以說(shuō)明梆惯,高質(zhì)量的表達(dá)很多時(shí)候不在詞匯量酱鸭,而是真正掌握了一個(gè)詞的精髓,能夠在恰當(dāng)?shù)恼Z(yǔ)境自然使用垛吗。
3. 怎樣學(xué)會(huì)使用這個(gè)詞凹髓?
1)翻譯下面的句子:
今天路上太堵了,遲到幾分鐘沒(méi)事职烧。
It’s understandable that you are a few minutes late. The traffic is horrible today.
(參考翻譯:It's understandable that you are a few minutes late. The traffic is horrible today.)
2)結(jié)合自己的生活扁誓、學(xué)習(xí)、工作蚀之、興趣等蝗敢,想象在什么語(yǔ)境下會(huì)用到這個(gè)表達(dá)。先簡(jiǎn)要描述這個(gè)場(chǎng)景足删,再造句寿谴。
例子: 故宮口紅
場(chǎng)景 :The Palace Museum releases its new series of product—limited edition of a lipstick collection in six colors on its online store. It is understanderable that the collection of lipsticks indeed provokes excitement among netizens and fashion lovers.
