I think so不能表示认同!因为维基词典对“I think so”这样解释:I believe that is the case, but am not certain.
相当于我们常说的:“maybe”,maybe是一种毫无把握,不清楚的含糊回答。所以你如果说I think so,外国朋友会心想:Is that a yes or no? 到底是认同还是不认同?
例如:
Boss:Did you do your work?
你工作做完了吗?
You:I think so.
我想是吧。
(PS:这样回答,老板会疯的,你到底做没做完!)
表示认同,可以这样说
I thought the same thing.
嗯,我同意
That's what I was thinking too.
我也是这么想的
That makes two of us.
我们想的一样
接下来给大家介绍如何灵活多变地表达自己的观点,不用再一味的说 I think
01、As far as I am concerned
