【一天一点英语】2019.8.29.

说英语的时候，我们常常会遇到找不到适合词汇表达自己的情况；或者对方问了一些问题，我们需要思考一会儿。那么，这个时候，我们可以怎么做呢？下面，我们就来看一些常见的情况及应对方案。

当被问到一些问题，我们需要思考一会儿的时候，可以使用以下说法为自己争取时间：

Great question! Let me think about that for a moment. 好问题！让我想一下。

You know, I've never thought about that. Let me think about it. 我从来没想过那一点。让我想想。

Huh, you know I'm not sure. Give me a second to think about it. 我不确定。给我点时间考虑一下。

You know, I'm not sure. What about you? 我不确定。你呢？

忘记了要说什么，或者想不到合适词汇来表达自己的时候，我们可以说：

Oh my gosh! I totally lost what I wanted to say. I'm so sorry. Give me a moment to think about it. 天哪！我完全忘记我想说什么了。很抱歉，给我点时间考虑一下。

Mmm, I can't find the word that I want to use. Maybe you can help me if I explain it. 我找不到想用的词汇了。如果我解释一下，也许你能帮助我。

Oh sorry, I forgot what I wanted to say. Um, hopefully it'll come back to me in a moment. 抱歉，我忘了要说什么了。希望马上就能想起来。

如果想了一会儿后，还是找不到合适的词汇表达。可以：

Just forget about what you were trying to say and go forward. 不再想要说的话，继续其它话题。

Give someone else the opportunity to speak. 给别人说话的机会。
