在日常生活中,人們經(jīng)常碰到需要對各種事物表示看法、觀點、見解和建議的場合。英語表示同意時,往往同漢語一樣,直截了當,因同意某人的意見不會得罪人。表示不同意別人的觀點時,通常用委婉的語氣。另外英美人常用面部表情或動作表示是否同意,點頭Yes,搖頭No,聳肩表示“不同意”或“無可奈何”。
(A)I must know your opinion.Do you agree with me?我必須知道你的觀點。你同意我嗎?
I'll be all for it.我十分贊成。
I have nothing against it.我不反對。
Are you for or against this plan?你同意還是反對這個計劃?
I have no objection.我沒意見。
I quite agree.我完全贊同。
(B)I totally disagree.我完全不同意。
I don't agree at all.我根本不同意。
I'm afraid I can't agree with you.恐怕我不同意你的觀點。
I don't think so.我不這么認為。
I'm against your plan.我不贊成你的計劃。
(C)I have my own opinion about this decision.對這個決定我有自己的看法。
My opinion is different from yours.我的看法跟你的不一樣。
I'm afraid I can't quite agree with you about that.關于這一點,恐怕我不能完全贊同你。
We have opposite views on this.對于這個我們有相反的觀點。
It's a very interesting idea,but I don't think it would work in practice.這個主意不錯,但我認為缺乏可行性。

②I agree(with you)./That's true./Yes,please./Yes,that's right.
③“So+主語+助動詞/情態(tài)動詞/be.”或“Exactly.”表示“的確如此;確實是這樣”。
2.表示完全不贊同的用語
① No,I don't think so./I'm afraid not./I really can't agree with you./I don't agree.為了使不同意的語氣委婉些,往往在發(fā)表不同意的看法之前,可以說Sorry、I'm afraid等。

②You may be right.
