下面,进入今天的正题,如何表达不满情绪。有一个很简单的词:“issue” [‘isu:]
就可以到了。“issue”是个名词,是“问题, 议题; 争论点”的意思,如果我有些不满,我就可以说: I have some issues. 意思是“我有些意见,有些不满”。
所以说,想表达“有点意见, 有些不满”,就用“have some issues”。那么,如果是对某人有意见,怎么办呢? 好办得很呢,在“have some issues”后面加个介词”with”,就行了:
I have some issues with my boss lately. 我最近对我的老板有些意见。
Janet has some issues with her parents. 珍丽对她的父母有些情绪。
如果你对某事有看法,不满,可以在“have some issues”后加个介词“on”或者”about”,
She has some issues on her new job. 她对她的新工作不太满意。
We have some issues about our welfare policy. 我们对我们的福利制度有些看法。
如果不满情绪很严重,看法很大,如何利用好“issue”这个词呢?在它前面加个“big”或”major”把情绪严重化:I do have a big issue on your teaching style. 天哪,我的学生开始抱怨了。
