用英語學英語口語:“交滯納金”用英語怎麼說?
想練英語口語, 必須弄清楚一個問題:練口語(說話)是背單詞(懂單詞)嗎?
對我說的這句話, 不要“鑽牛角尖”:沒有單詞(量)怎麼說口語?
你只需回答:是還是不是。
你“懂”“交滯納金”的英語單詞嗎?
那麼, 能“說英語”(練口語)嗎?
1. “交滯納金”首先是pay什麼吧?
Pay what? Pay什麼?
2. Pay money不是嗎?能“說英語”嗎?以後會忘記嗎?
What money?
3. The money is called a fee, a fee. Right? 這麼“說英語”依然不成問題吧?
“滯納金”還沒出來, 你把話已經“說了”一半了:We pay a fee.
4. Why pay this money(fee)? Why? 能“說”嗎?
5. I pay this fee because I was late in paying some other money/I paid some other money late and the due money(payment)(到期的付款) passed the grace period(寬限期).
這麼把“話說下去”應該還可以的吧?你用了一個late字。
“滯納金”的“雛形”出來了:
其實, 你把 I pay this fee because I was late in paying some other money/I paid some other money late “說完”,
這就是“練口語(說話)和背單詞(懂單詞)不是一個意思”的意思。
其實, 我們是靠“語言能力說話”, 不是“靠單詞說話”。
這是個很重要的語言能力。
6. 現在, 可以“用英語說英語”了:
If you /I/we have to pay a fee for some money we paid late, we call this:We pay a late fee.
Yes,we must pay a late fee.
你必須要“懂得”單詞pay a late fee, 才“會說英語”“滯納金”嗎?
我們學習late fee的“英語表達”:
What is to pay a late fee?
A late fee is a fee. This fee is charged to you when your payment is received after the due date, is overdue, and after the payment's grace period.
A late fee is similar to interest(利息).
