"I think so"最好别翻译成“我也这么想”,为什么呢?

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

对我而言,从我的角度来说

例句:

As far as I am concerned, life is short, and we must achieve something during our life.

就我而言,生命是短暂的,我们必须在我们的有生之时实现某样东西。

As far as I am concerned, the matter is closed.

对我来说,事情已了结。

02、From my point of view/perspective

10、Personally speaking

就我个人而言

例句:

Personally speaking, searching and enriching the experience of life is the real meaning of travel.

对我来说,旅行的意义是寻找和丰富生命的体验。

此外,在表达某个观点或者立场时,也可以直接去掉「我认为」这一意思而直接描述现象和观点,这时表达方式就会灵活很多。
