Do you agree?

你同意吗？

If so, what can you say?

如果是这样的话，你能说什么呢？

Actually, you could use very simple language.

其实你可以使用非常简单的语言。

You could just say ‘yes’, or even say nothing, and just nod your head!

你可以说“是的”，甚至什么也不说，点点头就行了！

You could say ‘I agree’.

你可以说“我同意”。

But, did you know that there are many other phrases you can use to show how much or how little you agree?

但是，你是否知道还有许多其他短语可以用来表明你同意呢？

So, let’s get going!

所以让我们开始吧！

I loved Amanda’s casserole tonight.

我喜欢阿曼达今晚做的炖锅菜。

It was so good!

太好吃了！

I know, right!

我知道，对吧！

It was so good.

太好吃了。

I was completely full, and I still couldn’t stop eating.

我已经完全吃饱了，但我仍然无法停止继续吃。

I think she should make it for the potluck next month.

我觉得下个月的百味餐她可以做一个。

It’ll be a favourite, for sure!

肯定很受大家喜欢的！

I’m with you on that one.

我同意你。

Everyone will love it!

大家肯定都很喜欢的！

I’ll send her a text to tell her how much we liked it.

我会给她发个短信，告诉她我们有多喜欢它。

Notice that here neither person used the word ‘agree’, yet it’s clear that they do agree.

请注意，没有人使用“agree”这个词，但很显然他们都是同意的。

You can say ‘I know’ or ‘I know, right?’ to express agreement.

你可以说“我知道”或“我知道，对吧？” 表达同意。

Tone is important here; you need to sound enthusiastic when using this phrase.

语调在这里很重要；使用这个短语时，你需要听起来很热情。

If you say ‘I know, right’, then it doesn’t work.

如果你说“我知道，是吧”，那么其实并不行。

But, with correct intonation: ‘I know, right?’ it works.

但是，如果语调正确的话：“我知道，对吧？”，就可以了。

You heard one more phrase to express agreement here.

你在这里听到了表示同意的另一句话。

Do you remember?

你还记得吗？

You heard ‘I’m with you on that one.’ ‘I’m with you’ is another way to say ‘I agree with you.’ It’s slightly more conversational; you probably wouldn’t use it in writing, and definitely not in formal writing.

你听到了“我同意你所说的”。“我同意你所说的”是说“我同意你”的另一种方式。它比较对话性；你可能不会以书面形式使用它，而且绝对不能在正式的写作中使用它。

Goodness, it’s windy today!

天哪，今天风好大啊！

You’re telling me!

没错！

I almost lost my hat this afternoon.

今天下午我差点把帽子给弄丢了。

Come on, we’d better go inside and warm up.

快点，我们最好进去取取暖。

Great minds think alike!

英雄所见略同！

I could sure do with a hot cup of tea right now.

我现在绝对要喝杯喝茶。

Here’s a phrase you heard, but there’s a mistake… Can you remember the correct phrase?

这是你听到的一个短语，但是有一个错误……你还记得正确的短语是什么吗？

It was: ‘you’re telling me!’ This shows that you completely agree.

就是：“没错！”这表明你完全同意。

But that’s not the only form of agreement that popped up in that conversation.

但这并不是对话中出现的唯一一个表达同意的形式。

Did you hear the other one?

你听到了另一个吗？

You heard: ‘great minds think alike’.

你听到了：“英雄所见略同”。

Consider this for a moment.

考虑一下这个。

What do you think it means?

你觉得这个是什么意思？

Well, in the literal sense it means ‘we’re both really clever’ but it’s just a humorous way to say that you’ve both reached the same conclusion.

好的，从字面意义上来看，意思是“我们俩都非常聪明”，但这只是一种幽默的方式来说你们两个都得出了相同的结论。

It’s a light-hearted saying, so you can try it out with your friends.

这个是很轻松的表达，所以你可以和朋友一起尝试一下。

I can’t believe Sue cut her hair so short!

我不敢相信苏会剪这么短的头发！

Yes! I was thinking the same thing!

是的！我也在想同样的事情！

It’s weird seeing her without long hair.

看到她没有长发真是奇怪。

It’s a big change.

这是一个很大的变化。

You can say that again!

你说的没错。

I get a shock every time I see her.

每次见到她我都会很震惊。

I must say though, she pulls off the look.

不过我得说，她整个人都焕然一新了。

What do you think?

你怎么看？

Without a doubt.

毫无疑问。

The first phrase you heard here was ‘I was thinking the same thing.’ There are other variations on this, like ‘I was thinking the same’ or ‘I had the same thought.’ Did you also notice the phrase ‘you can say that again’?

你在这里听到的第一个短语是“我在想同样的事情”。还有其他的变体，例如“我也这么想”或“我在也这么觉得”。你是否也注意到了“ you can say that again”这个短语？

Does it really mean you want the person to repeat what they’ve just said?

它的意思是不是你希望对方重复他们刚才说的话？

Of course not.

当然不是。

You don’t really want the other person to repeat the words; it’s just an informal way to say that you totally agree.

你并不是希望别人重复自己说的话；这是说你完全同意的一种非正式的表达方式。

Similarly, ‘without a doubt’ expresses complete agreement.

同样地，“毫无疑问”表示完全同意。

You can also say ‘no doubt’, which has a similar idea.

你也可以说“毫无疑问”，意思是一样的。

But what if there is a doubt in your mind?

但是，如果你有疑问的话，该怎么办呢？

What if the argument is factually correct…but you don’t particularly like it?

如果这个说法在事实上是正确的……

What to say then?

但你并不是特别喜欢呢？那该怎么说呢？

我猜是这样。

一家人肯定会很失望的。

Could you tell from that conversation that I agreed with Rich but also expressed my disappointment?

你能否从对话中感觉出来我同意里奇，但也表达了我的失望？

You can use ‘I guess you’re right’ and ‘I suppose so’ when you agree that someone is right, but you’re not happy with the situation.

当你同意某人是正确的，但你对这个情况并不满意的时候，你可以使用“我猜你是对的”和“我想是的”。

You can use short versions of these, too: ‘I suppose’ and ‘I guess’.

你也可以使用它们的简短版本：“我猜”和“我猜”。

Can you think of such an example from your own life?

你能从自己的生活中想到这样的例子吗？

也许是时候更换汽车上那些旧轮胎了吧？

It’s on at six and eight.

是在六点和八点。

Shall we do the eight o’ clock one?

我们要看八点的那场吗？

Fine by me!

我没意见！

Just a reminder: most of the ways you’re learning in this lesson to agree don’t use the word ‘agree’ at all!

提醒一下：本节课中你学习的大多数表达同意的方式都根本不使用“同意”这个词！

Here, you heard ‘good idea’.

刚才你听到了“好主意”。

In a discussion, you can say ‘good point’ to agree with what someone says.

在讨论的时候，你可以说“好主意”来同意某人的观点。

If someone makes a suggestion, you can agree using the phrase ‘I don’t see why not’ or ‘fine by me’.

如果有人提出建议，你可以用“我不明白为什么不这样做”或“我同意”的说法来表达你的赞同。

These are neutral phrases, which don’t express much enthusiasm.

这些是中性的短语，不会表示出对此的热情。

That doesn’t mean that you’re unenthusiastic or unhappy, just that you’re accepting someone else’s idea without expressing much emotion one way or the other.

这并不意味着你不热情或不开心，而是你只是在接受某人的想法，但是没有表达什么感情色彩。

你听到了“当然了！”，“绝对是！” 和“当然！”这些都是很好的、非常简单的方法来表明你百分百地同意你听到的内容。

I think AI will take over most jobs in the future, and teachers will be the first to go.

在这里，发言者部分同意另一个人的看法。

This is common: sometimes, you may agree with some of what’s being said but not all of it.

这是很常见的：有时，你可能会同意别人所讲的一些内容，但并非全部。

A good phrase to express this is ‘I agree with you up to a point’.

表达这一点的一个很好的短语是“我在一定程度上同意你的观点”。

You could also use ‘you’ve got a point there but …’ This is a good way to acknowledge the other person’s point of view while also showing that your perspective is at least slightly different.

你也可以使用：“你说的也有道理，但是……”这是认同他人观点的一种很好的方法，同时也表明你的观点略有不同。

This is a useful tactic for business and negotiations: you try to find common ground first and then address the points of disagreement.

这是商务和谈判的有用策略：你尝试先找到共同点，然后再解决分歧点。

Talking of business, which of the phrases you’ve learned so far are more appropriate in formal settings, say with a colleague or a client?

说到商务，你到目前为止学到的短语中哪些在正式场合更合适呢，比如说和同事或客户说？

What about ‘Great minds think alike?’ or ‘you’re telling me’?

“英雄所见略同”怎么样？或者是“你说的没错”？

Well, like many things it depends on the context and the tone.

好吧，就像许多事情一样，它取决于上下文和语调。

In general, netural phrases like ‘I agree with you’, ‘I’m in agreement’ or just ‘agreed’ will likely be better in a business meeting.

通常，在商务会议中，诸如“我同意你”、“我同意”或“同意”之类的口语表达可能会更好。

Phrases such as ‘for sure’ and ‘you can say that again’ are better for social situations.

“当然了”和“你说得对”等短语更适合社交场合。

Let’s look at some more informal ways to agree as these words and phrases will make you sound natural in your speech.

你觉得你可以用“当然了”或者是“你说得对”来回答老板吗？可能不行——它们太随意了，尽管这会取决于你的老板！

The phrases from the dialogue you just heard are very informal and should probably be avoided in a professional environment.

你刚才在对话中听到的短语是非常不正式的，在职业环境中应该避免使用。

“You betcha” is a slangy way to agree.

“You betcha” 是一种表示同意的俚语说法。

‘Betcha’ is a variant of the word ‘bet’ — you can also say ‘you bet’ with the same meaning.

“Betcha”是“bet”一词的变体，你也可以说“you bet”来表达相同的意思。

‘Ditto’ is another way to say, ‘me too’ or ‘same here’.

They are quick and natural responses in a casual conversation.

在随意的交谈中，它们可以迅速自然地进行回应。

It’s a light-hearted form of ‘okay’ or ‘alright’ that is used both in British- and American English.
