    ??美国最最流行的口语大全
    ??熟练地运用英语的一个重要方面就是学习并掌握英语本族者常用的生动、活泼的习语。??
    ?? 1. After you.你先请。这是一句很常用的客套话，在进／出门,上车得场合你都可以表现一下。 (好象现在女士不愿意你这么做，特别是那些女权主义者，我还记得这么一段话：一个女士对一个让她先行的男士说：you do this because i am a woman?那个男士回答说：i do this not because you are a woman but because i am a man! i love this guy! ??
    ?? 2. I just couldn't help it.我就是忍不住。想想看，这样一个漂亮的句子可用于多少个场合？下面是随意举的一个例子： I was deeply moved by the film and I cried and cried. I just couldn't help it.
    ?? 太棒的句子了，我爱死它了。：）
    ?? 3. Don't take it to heart. 别往心里去，别为此而忧虑伤神。生活实例： This test isn't that important. Don't take it to heart. 安慰人的超级句子。
    ?? 4. We'd better be off.我们该走了。It's getting late. We'd better be off .
    ?? 5. Let's face it. 面对现实吧。常表明说话人不愿意逃避困难的现状。参考例句：I know it's a difficult situation. Let's face it, OK? 很棒啊，年轻人犯错误，上帝都会原谅，remember?但是犯了错误，你必须面对他，let's face it,或者是：let's face the music.

    ??就价格让步的还盘
    ??Dear Sirs:
    ??
    ?? Thank you for your letter of 20 January 2004. We are disappointed to hear that our price for Flame cigarette lighters is too high for you to work on. You mention that Japanese goods are being offered to you at a price approximately 10% lower than that "ed by us.
    ??
    ?? We accept what you say, but we are of the opinion that the quality of the other makes does not measure up to that of our products.
    ??
    ?? Although we are keen to do business with you, we regret that we cannot accept your counter offer or even meet you half way.
    ??
    ?? The best we can do is to reduce our previous "ation by 2%. We trust that this will meet with your approval.We look forward to hearing from you.
    ??
    ?? Yours faithfully,
    ??
