A:Are you OK?
(你還好嗎?) B:I just have a cold, but I am OK. Thanks.
(我只是有點感冒了,不過沒事的。謝謝。)
大概是這樣的感覺。
如果你的程度是能夠順暢地講更長句子,我會推薦稍微長一點的短句給你。
例如,像這樣對話如何呀?
A:You don’t look very well. Are you OK?
(你看起來不太好。還好嗎?) B:Actually, I’m feeling a bit sick.
(其實我身體有點不舒服。) A:Oh, no! Maybe you have caught a cold, don’t you think? You should go home and take a rest.
(糟了!你是不是感冒了? 你應該回家休息一下比較好喔。) B:Well, yes. You are right. I will go home after finishing this task.
(嗯,對呢。我完成手上的工作之後就會回家了。) A:OK. I hope you get better soon.
(OK。祝你早日康復。) B:Thank you.
(謝謝。)
擔心某個人的身體狀況時,可以用下面的短句。
ー“Are you alright?”
(你還好嗎?)
※用法和Are you OK? 相同。不過,在英國,因為用法和How are you?一樣,如果是打招呼之後直接接著問,像是”Hi, are you alright?”的話,就不是代表擔心的意思了喔。
ー”I feel under the weather.”
(我身體不舒服。)
※這是當你身體不舒服時的一種特殊說法。
ー”I have a sore throat.”
(我喉嚨痛。) ー”I might have got a cold.”
(我可能感冒了。) ー”I caught a cold.”
(我感冒了。) ー”My nose is running. / I have a runny nose.” (我流鼻水。) ー”I feel dizzy.”
(我頭暈。) ー”Actually, I have a hangover.”
(其實,我宿醉了。)
※覺得他人身體不舒服,一問之下發現是宿醉,這種情況不只在台灣有,在國外也是一樣。
用email關心他人感冒時會使用的英文
接下來,我想介紹當朋友或是同事因為感冒而休息時,用英文email來詢問、關心他們的例句。
英文的例句: A:Hi. How are you feeling? Do you feel better now?
(嗨,你覺得怎麼樣?有比較好一點了嗎?) B:Thanks for your mail. I got a little better but I think I should still be in bed.
(謝謝你的email。有好一點了,但我想我還是多休息一下會比較好。)
A:I see. I hope you get well soon. Take care!
(我知道了。祝你早日康復。保重。) B:Thank you, I will. See you soon.
(謝謝,我會的。下次見。)
ー“How’s your cold?”
(你的感冒怎麼樣了?)
※cold的部份,可以換成headache(頭痛)等症狀。
ー“Are you getting better?”
(你有好點了嗎?) ー”Are you feeling better?”
(你感覺好一點了嗎?)
要回覆有比較好了時,可以用下面的說法。 ー”Yes, I got a lot better. I think I can go to work tomorrow.”
(嗯,我有比較好了。我覺得明天就可以上班了。) ー”Yes, I’m feeling well now. Thank you.”
(嗯,我現在很好。謝謝。)
ー”It’s gone already. I will see you tomorrow.”
(已經好了。明天見。)
※當被問到感冒或其他症狀怎麼樣了時可以使用。
在說「保重」後就結束email,也有下面這樣的模式。
ー”I hope you will get better soon. Take good care of yourself.”
(希望你能早點好起來。好好休息。(=照顧好自己。)) ー”Get well soon!”(祝你早日康復。) ー”I wish you a speedy recovery. Hope to see you soon.”
(希望你能快點好起來。再見。(=希望能早點再見到你。))
英文會話範例: A:How’s your cold? Can I visit you today?
(你的感冒怎麼樣了?我今天可以去探望你嗎?) B:I got a lot better. Yes, you can.
(我好很多了。嗯,可以喔。) A:Would you like something?
(你有想要什麼嗎?) B:Hmm.. Could you get some oranges for me?
(恩…可以幫我買一些橘子嗎?) A:OK! See you later.
(好! 等會見。)
也一起介紹想去探病但被拒絕時的對話模式。
因為其中還有在一般關心別人的email裡也可以使用的句子,所以請參考一下。
A:Do you mind if I visit you after work? I will get you something, if you want.
(在工作結束後我可以去看你嗎?如果你想要什麼的話我可以帶過去給你。) B:Well.. maybe it’s not a good idea. you might get a cold from me.
(恩…可能不太好。你可能會被我傳染感冒。) A:OK, but if you need something, please let me know anytime. Get well soon!
