很多情況下，中國人學習英語更多的是以學習正式的書面英語表達為基礎(chǔ)的，不論是學校教學還是課外的英語培訓班。因為更多的目的是為了出國留學、移民或者商務(wù)往來合作。這樣的英語適用場合更多的是以官方形式呈現(xiàn)的，很多人英語可以學習的很好，但是未必能夠像本土英語人士一樣隨心隨心性地道的陳述自己想表達的?，F(xiàn)在教大家如何把自己的英語練習的跟本土生長在英語國家的人士一樣。

1、中文時常有一句話“夾著尾巴做人”，其實是要求做人做事低調(diào)謙卑，不惹是非。

英語：Behave yourself (請檢點一點，行為規(guī)矩些)-------夾著尾巴做人

Wait, you might be thinking, these strategies don't tell you how to deal with your difficult in-laws-- they tell you how to behave yourself.??等等。 你也許會想，這些策略并沒有告訴我對付棘手的姻親們的辦法，它只是講了如何約束自己。

2、中文表達事情“水落石出”，事物真相流露展現(xiàn)出來。

I had better let the cat out of the bag at once and record my opinion that the character of the English is essentially middle class.?我最好一開始就說出秘密，講述我對英國中產(chǎn)階級特征的理解。
