5. I can't handle it. 我应付不来.
这个 handle 跟 afford 的区别要分清楚, handle 指的是事情上应付不来, 而 afford 多半指金钱上无法负担. 像是上学期我跟我同学说, "I took too many courses, I can't afford it." 她就回答我说, "You mean you can't handle it?" 所以很明显的, handle 这个字和 afford 是不太一样的. 再举一个例子, 例如工作很多作不完, 你就可以这么说 "There's too much workload here. I can't handle it."
6. I am really not in the mood. 我真的没有什么心情.
Mood 解释成心情, 没有心情你可以说成 "I don't have the mood." 或是 "I am not in the mood." 比如考试期间, 别人还找你出去玩, 你就可以这么拒绝他, "I am sorry. I am really not in the mood."
7. There is nothing to talk about. 没什么好说的.
当别人问你的问题你不想回答或懒得回答时就可以回答, "There is nothing to talk about." 例如有人问你考试考几分? 你自己考得太差而不想讲, 就可以说, "There is nothing to talk about." 另外一个类似的用法叫 "No comment." 就是说无可奉告的意思.
在英语 There is nothing to V. 可当作是一个片语来使用, 解释成没什么好怎样怎样的, 例如 There is nothing to worry about, 就是说没什么好担心的. 记得看某部电影时小孩子问他爸爸, 我们家的钱倒底够不够用, 父亲就对小孩子说, "There is nothing for you to worry about."
8. I really want to, but I got hundreds of things to do. 我想去, 可是我有好多好多事情要做.
别人邀请你参加他们的活动, 就算你不想去, 也不要直接了当地说 "No, I don't want to." 这样子别人下次可能就不会找你了. 试著用这种比较好的说法. 先说 "I really want to" , 或是 "I really love to", 再来才接著说 "but I got hundreds of things to do". 这样感觉上比较礼貌, 也比较不会让别人觉得没面子.
