不管你学习英语有多努力，听说读写分数有多高，如果不“真枪实弹”地与歪果仁沟通都是纸上谈兵，不承认就是不客观~

 

想想看，当对方说“Beg yours”时，你是否比他还困惑？当考路考的考官说pull over时，你是否会不知所措？有人邀请你叁加 Potluck Party时，你会不会空手赴宴？速食店里，店员问“ here or to go?”是否会丈二金刚摸不着头脑，莫名其妙？Give me a ring! 可不是用来求婚的。 Drop me a line. 更非要你排队站好。老美说Hi! What's up! ~I’m fine是最low的回答!

这些因一字之差完全改变用意的日常英语是否曾给你“刻骨铭心”的尴尬经历？今天，让我们来学学藏在日常应用中的小陷阱吧！
