老外最常用的英文短語(MP3+中英字幕) 第473期:I can tell you...
釋義:
I can tell you... 可以説……也是……
比起對某事實給予斷言,不如加上 I can('t) tell you that 的包裝,委婉地傳達自己的意向。不過 I can('t) tell you what (how) 等則表示“我(不)可以告訴你某事”。經常會用到 I can('t) tell you that (可以那麼説)的句型。
例句:
I can tell you that the prices of cars are a bit high.
我跟你説,汽車的價格有點高。
I can tell you what he's going to find.
我可以告訴你他會找到什麼。
I can't tell you how sorry I am.
真不知道怎麼表達我的歉意。
對話:
A: I really need to make some money fast.
我非常需要一些救濟的錢。
B: I can't tell you how to make money.
我可不能告訴你怎麼賺錢。
