【每日一练】Words fail me.

那么，如何用英文表达“无语”呢？很简单：

Words fail me.

我无语。

这句话的意思等于是：I’m so surprised /angry /shocked that I don’t know what to say. “fail”在这里的意思是“失去作用/没能发挥作用/令人失望”，就是指“找不到合适的话语来描述自己的感受”。

Just look at this mess. Look at it.
It's...Words fail me!

看看这一团糟。看看吧。这真是……我无语！

To go out with a total stranger... I really cannot...
well, words fail me.

跟个完全不认识的人出去……我真是不能……好吧，我无语。

Words fail me!
How could you have been so stupid?

我真是无语！你怎么能这么蠢呢？

A: What did you think of his pink outfit?

你觉得他那套粉色衣服怎么样？

B: Words fail me. I've never seen
anything quite like it!

我无语。我从来没看过那样的东西！

也可以用于描述很强烈的感受：

I wish I could convey how much it means to me
having you all here,
but words fail me at the moment.

我真希望我能表达你们都在这儿对于我的重要意义，但此刻我无法用言语形容。

你有没有“words fail me”的时刻呢？下一次觉得无语的时候，记得用上这个表达。

Now it's your time to open your mouth and practice!

张开嘴巴练起来！

Have fun learning English!
