   “Interesting”的意思是“有意思”。但在英语里,它却可能有很多负面的含义。用得不好,可能出大错!今天Jenny和Adam就要来教你如何正确使用interesting!


  为什么Interesting很危险?
  举个例子:
  A: How was your trip?
  B: It was interesting.
  A: Was there something wrong?
  B: ...
  What's wrong with it?
  虽然interesting是“有意思”,但它在英语中的含义更加丰富、玄妙。
  当你说It's interesting的时候,要注意以下几点:
  Leaves things hanging. 悬而不决
  It begs 1 follow up questions. 还有下文、有更多问题
  Something is off. 一言难尽、有猫腻
  没想到Interesting有大坑!
  如何正确使用Interesting?
  #1.Interesting形容人
  Interesting形容人并不是简单的褒义或者贬义,
  而多指与众不同、经历丰富的人。
  He is a very interesting person.
  He is an interesting character.
  如果是褒义词,interesting往往指一个人有丰富的人生经历、经验。
  Positive: Interesting life experiences.
  如果是贬义词,interesting往往指一个人比较奇怪。
  Negative: something is off with the person.
  He has very interesting tastes. 他的品味、喜好很奇怪。
  常见错误:
  Interesting不代表好玩、幽默?
  如果想形容一个人很幽默,最好直接用:
  fun person: 很会玩,在一起会很好玩的人
  funny person: 很幽默的人
  #2.Interesting形容事物
  Interesting形容事,这件事往往是:
  Makes you think 让你思考,不是简单的有意思、有娱乐性
  Interesting: 有意思的,有意义的,含义比fun要丰富
  Fun: 好玩
  怎么用?
  1) How was the party?
  It was interesting. 聚会上你见了很多有意思的人,聊过有意思的话题,让你有所得。
  It was fun. 吃好、喝好、玩好的聚会。
  2) How was the movie/book?
  An interesting movie/book. 有意思、有意义的电影或者书籍。
  An interesting read. 很有意义的书。
  A fun movie/book. 好玩的电影或者书籍。
  哪些词可以替代Interesting?
  用interesting这个词,坑真不少!
  所以在日常对话中,作为回复,大家可以用下面这些词:
  Awesome 2
  Terrific 3
  Great
  比如:
  A: How was your trip?
  B: It was awesome/terrific/great!
  这时候如果用interesting trip让人感觉你的旅途可能发生了点什么。
