贺“乔迁之喜”也同样可用此字,说 Congratulations on your removal to a new house. 如果仕途的升迁,说法就多少都带得有点中国味道,西方人如乔迁志喜,大开宴席,便叫做 housewarming.此字《韦氏新世界辞典》的定义是 a party given by or for someone moving into a new home.而《新世纪大辞典》则解释说 an entertainment given in a house to celebrate the beginning of one’s occupancy.意思都是为庆贺新居所举行的宴会,和我们说的“乔迁志庆”实在很接近呢。

为着不使听话的对方吃惊或失望,除了以前讲过的 I am afraid 之外,还有其他什么同类的日常用语?
1704796603
1704796604
【解答】在英文的日常谈话中,确是常用到一种所谓 shock absorber(缓冲语),那就是 I am afraid, I fear, I am sorry 之类,其中尤以 I am sorry 一个表现法,用得最多。它表现抱歉或叹惋(mildly regretful)之意时,便是一种缓冲语了。在这场合,说得更完善的是 I am sorry to say.例如:
1704796605
1704796606
I am sorry to say that I can not help you.(我不能帮助你,说来很是抱歉。)
1704796607
1704796608
I am sorry to say that I cannot come.(很抱歉我不能来。)
1704796609
1704796610
I’m sorry to say that your daughter will have to spend about a month in the hospital.(令媛恐怕要在医院里住一个月的样子。)
1704796611
1704796612
不带 to say 字样的,也同样可以发挥这个作用,如:
1704796613
1704796614
I am sorry to give you trouble.(给你麻烦,很是抱歉。)
1704796615
1704796616
(比较 I am sorry to trouble you.对不起打扰你。)
1704796617
1704796618
I’m sorry (that) you can’t stay longer.(你不能多留,真是遗憾。)
1704796619
1704796620
I’m so sorry I can’t accept your kind invitation.(真是遗憾,我不能接受你的邀请。)
1704796621
1704796622
说 I fear(是 I hope 的反对),也有这种缓冲的作用,不过在口语中大家更爱说的还是 I am afraid.
1704796623
1704796624
I fear I shall fail.(我恐怕会失败。)
1704796625
1704796626
I fear he will die.(我恐怕他会死。)
1704796627
1704796628
Is he going to die?—— I fear so.(他会死吗?——恐怕会呀。)
1704796629
1704796630
I fear (that) we are too late.(我恐怕我们太迟了。)
1704796631
1704796632
I fear I said something to hurt you.(我深恐说了什么触怒了你的话。)
1704796633
1704796634
中国话说的“我很冒昧地说……”,英文就是 It may be rude but…,或 If you don’t mind my asking…,或 Excuse me,but……等,都是属于这一类的口头英语。
