“說來真怪”用英語怎么說呢?讓優(yōu)朗英語培訓(xùn)的果果老師告訴你吧,“說來真怪”的英文可以翻譯為“funnily enough”。funnily enough 用作插入語,指說來也奇怪或說來稀奇,表示自己要說的事情聽起來很奇怪或不可思議,若用在句子開頭,解作 it is curious that 。
例句:
Funnily enough ,I said precisely the same thing to Andrew only last week .
說來真不可意議,我剛在上星期向安德魯說了同樣的事。
My great-grandfather's name was James Smith too, funnily enough . Do you think we could be related?
說來也巧,我曾祖父的名字也叫詹姆斯•史密斯。你看我們會不會有親戚關(guān)系啊 ?
Tips:
真的講笑話或講述你認為好笑的事時,不可以用funnily enough 。
情景模擬:
Mummy ,you know it's my birthday party next week?
Don't you think it would be nice if we played some party games at the party ?
Well, funnily enough , Marian ,I thought you might ask me that .
So I bought this book last week .
