簡單英語口語對話精選在學習英語過程中需要注意的誤區(qū)： 我們必須學會美國人怎樣描述東西。從描述上來講，由于中美的文化不同會產生很大的差異。我們描述東西無外乎把它放在時間和空間兩個坐標上去描述。美國人對空間的描述總是由內及外，由里及表。而中國人正好相反。從時間上來說，中國人是按自然的時間順序來描述。我們描述一個東西突然停住時，往往最后說的那個地方是最重要的。美國人在時間的描述上先把最重要的東西說出來，然后再說陪襯的東西。只有發(fā)生悲劇性的事件，美國人才在前面加上鋪墊。這就是中國人和美國人在時間描述上的巨大差別?！揪x句式】As a matter of fact, .Who won the golf tournament?
