在日常生活中,人们经常碰到需要对各种事物表示看法、观点、见解和建议的场合。英语表示同意时,往往同汉语一样,直截了当,因同意某人的意见不会得罪人。表示不同意别人的观点时,通常用委婉的语气。另外英美人常用面部表情或动作表示是否同意,点头Yes,摇头No,耸肩表示“不同意”或“无可奈何”。
◎经典表达
(A)I must know your opinion.Do you agree with me?我必须知道你的观点。你同意我吗?
I'll be all for it.我十分赞成。
I have nothing against it.我不反对。
Are you for or against this plan?你同意还是反对这个计划?
I have no objection.我没意见。
I quite agree.我完全赞同。
(B)I totally disagree.我完全不同意。
I don't agree at all.我根本不同意。
I'm afraid I can't agree with you.恐怕我不同意你的观点。
I don't think so.我不这么认为。
I'm against your plan.我不赞成你的计划。
(C)I have my own opinion about this decision.对这个决定我有自己的看法。
My opinion is different from yours.我的看法跟你的不一样。
I'm afraid I can't quite agree with you about that.关于这一点,恐怕我不能完全赞同你。
We have opposite views on this.对于这个我们有相反的观点。

◎温馨解读
1.表示赞同的用语
①Sure./Certainly./That's correct./Of course./All right./No problem./That's a good idea./Yes,I think so.
②I agree(with you)./That's true./Yes,please./Yes,that's right.
③“So+主语+助动词/情态动词/be.”或“Exactly.”表示“的确如此;确实是这样”。
2.表示完全不赞同的用语
① No,I don't think so./I'm afraid not./I really can't agree with you./I don't agree.为了使不同意的语气委婉些,往往在发表不同意的看法之前,可以说Sorry、I'm afraid等。
②Of course not./No way!
3.表示不完全赞同的用语
①Yes,maybe.
②You may be right.
